Returns JSON with pass/fail for each check:

• git_clean - no uncommitted changes
• branch - on main/master for production
• docker - services running (if applicable)
• env_file - .env or .env.$ENV exists
• build_artifacts - dist/build present
• tests_ran - test result artifacts found

Manual verification:

• Tests passing
• Build successful
• Environment variables set
• Secrets configured
• Database migrations ready
• Rollback plan documented
