Operator Checklist

Purpose

This checklist is the shortest operational path for a human operator preparing to run, review, or hand off PrivateDAO in a serious environment.

Before Running Anything

• verify the intended branch and commit
• verify the intended cluster
• verify the intended wallet
• verify the intended RPC

Evidence Surfaces To Check First

• [live-proof.md](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/live-proof.md)
• [test-wallet-live-proof-v3.generated.md](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/test-wallet-live-proof-v3.generated.md)
• [devnet-release-manifest.md](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/devnet-release-manifest.md)
• [proof-registry.json](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/proof-registry.json)

Verification Commands

Run in this order:

• `npm run verify:live-proof`
• `npm run verify:test-wallet-live-proof:v3`
• `npm run verify:release-manifest`
• `npm run verify:review-links`
• `npm run verify:review-surface`
• `npm run check:mainnet`

Governance Operation Checklist

Before creating or executing a proposal:

• confirm the DAO address
• confirm the proposal address
• confirm the treasury address
• confirm the recipient
• confirm the token mint if relevant
• confirm timing windows
• confirm whether the action is still vetoable or already executable

Before Treasury-Sensitive Actions

• confirm the proposal has actually passed
• confirm `isExecuted == false`
• confirm the unlock time has passed
• confirm the expected amount
• confirm the expected recipient binding
• confirm explorer logging is enabled or recorded

If Something Looks Wrong

• stop non-essential actions
• consult [incident-response.md](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/incident-response.md)
• capture signatures and current account state
• avoid performing treasury actions under uncertain RPC conditions

Honest Boundary

This checklist improves operator discipline. It does not replace protocol enforcement or external review.
