name	seo-geo-aeo-qa-gate
description	Use before and after fix execution in the SEO/GEO/AEO engine loop — runs pre-execution non-degradation checks (Gate 1) and post-execution schema, HTTP, and tracking validation (Gate 2) with automatic rollback from timestamped backups on any failure. Use when you need quality assurance guardrails around site changes.

SEO/GEO/AEO — QA Gate

Two mandatory gates bracket every fix batch. Neither is optional.

Gate 1 — Pre-Execution (Before Human Approval)

Run BEFORE presenting the fix batch to the human for approval.

Check	Tool / Method	Fail Action
Page similarity (doorway detection)	scripts/page_similarity.py — any cluster > 0.85 cosine score	Block fix, log finding, flag for dedupe
Owner directives check	Load registry row + business memory — scan for "never touch X" patterns	Remove violating items from batch
Syntax pre-check	JSON-LD: validate against schema.org; Liquid: shopify theme check; nginx: nginx -t	Block fix, log parse error
Proposed scope sanity	No fix touches files outside the declared audit dir + web root	Block entire batch if scope exceeded

If Gate 1 passes → hand off to seo-geo-aeo-hitl-approval. If Gate 1 fails → log failures, alert owner, do NOT present for approval.

Gate 2 — Post-Execution (After Each Fix)

Run AFTER every individual fix. ALL checks must pass before moving to the next fix.

Check	Pass Criteria
HTTP status	Page returns 200; no unintended redirect chains
