# CiteLab workflow readiness checklist

Workflow:
Tested version / date:
Owner:

This is a self-recorded review, not an automated test or certification.

## Input and state
- [ ] Define the trigger and required fields.
- [ ] Try a missing or invalid field.
- [ ] Keep identifiers available after each node.
- [ ] Replay the same event and check for duplicate actions.

## Failure and recovery
- [ ] Test a timeout or unavailable provider.
- [ ] Set a polling or execution limit.
- [ ] Make success and failure outputs distinguishable.
- [ ] Document recovery without repeating completed actions.

## Access and handover
- [ ] Keep secrets out of workflow exports.
- [ ] Confirm recurring costs and who owns each account.
- [ ] Keep outgoing messages or publishing behind an agreed approval step.
- [ ] Record the tested version, result, and manual stop procedure.

## Evidence and open questions

Record what was run, the observed result, and anything unresolved. Do not include secrets or customer details.
