Pre-production / staging shell

A separate space.
A protected production.

StoryVault Staging is the designated shell for an independent pre-production environment. Infrastructure isolation must be verified before any application source or synthetic test data is introduced.

Empty shell only. No source transfer or testing authorized.

The boundaries come first.

No production data transfer

No live service connections

No production changes

01 / Authorized scope

Isolation is the foundation.
Not a preview branch.

A branch alone is not enough if it still uses production infrastructure. The requested environment must be a separate MadeThis business, managed under the existing account.

Family stories, photos, books, customer records and authentication data stay in production.
01

Independent infrastructure

Verify a separate repository, Convex backend, database and private file storage. Do not reuse production secrets or credentials.

02

An intentionally empty shell

Provision only the normal default project. Application source transfer, development and staging E2E testing require separate authorization.

03

Live actions stay out

Keep payments, application email, paid AI, printing and fulfillment disabled or unconfigured. Do not connect production webhooks or customer analytics.

04

Verify, report, then stop

Record safe project identifiers and isolation results. Future testing must use synthetic users and synthetic data only.

02 / Verification checkpoint

A shell is not an isolation report.

This page documents the intended boundaries. It does not provision infrastructure or certify separation from production StoryVault.

Project URLs, repository and deployment identifiers must be supplied from MadeThis provisioning records. No production identifiers or secrets are needed here.

Blocker: independent infrastructure and integration settings require verification through MadeThis. No provisioning claim is made by this page.

Next / verify before proceeding

Confirm the boundary. Then pause.

Once isolation is verified, stop. The exact StoryVault source revision will be authorized separately.
