# IQON next gates rollback approval runbook

Purpose: preserve the next operational steps after apex legacy hardening and contact mobile fix.

## Context

Apex `iqon.com` currently serves old WordPress design. `www.iqon.com` serves the new static redesign. Hardening and contact mobile overflow fix were uploaded and verified in the previous pass. Remaining work is gated by backup confirmation, external form submission approval, and sitemap/redirect approval.

## Criteria

- [x] ISC-1: Current production split is stated explicitly.
- [x] ISC-2: Rollback sources are listed without credentials.
- [x] ISC-3: Health checks are listed as commands.
- [x] ISC-4: Contact form gate is marked approval-only.
- [x] ISC-5: DB archive gate remains unresolved.
- [x] ISC-6: Sitemap redirect gate remains approval-only.
- [x] ISC-7: No destructive remote action is recommended.
- [x] ISC-8: Next actionable choices are unambiguous.

## Decisions

- Do not submit live forms without explicit approval.
- Do not delete old WordPress files before DB archive confirmation.
- Do not collapse apex and www designs unless requested.

## Verification

This PRD is documentation-only. Prior live verification remains recorded in continuation reports.
