• Quality gate validation (before PR)
• Deployment readiness check
• After significant code changes
• Conductor Phase 3 (Quality Assurance)
• CI/CD pipeline validation

Requirements

• Build script configured in package.json
• Typical scripts: "build": "vite build" or "build": "tsc"
• Node modules installed
