Static delivery is often treated as a shortcut. Used deliberately, it reduces runtime complexity while preserving rigorous release control.
Separate build from hosting
The build runner should produce a portable artifact. The production environment should receive that artifact through a controlled deployment boundary rather than becoming the build machine.
Make the commit visible
Embedding a short source commit in the generated site creates a simple, reliable link between production behavior and the versioned change that produced it.
Validate after release
A green build is not proof of a successful deployment. Live checks should confirm the commit, critical content, contact paths and expected public assets at the production URL.
