Tracking changes can look harmless because they are framed as measurement work, but tags often affect real behavior. Before they spread quietly, review ownership, firing logic, dependencies, and rollback readiness.
Component libraries can improve consistency, but they can also scale accessibility mistakes faster than one-off templates ever could. Review should happen before the system spreads exceptions across the site.
A backup is only comforting until a restore fails, the files are incomplete, or the database copy is too old to matter. Real backup confidence comes from verification, retention clarity, and tested recovery steps.
