Close gaps with a practical rehearsal

Ask a receiving colleague who did not write the procedure to run a harmless test deployment and recover a synthetic record. Note every undocumented dependency. Do not copy secret values into this CSV; record the controlled store and the authorised owner.

Technical access and contractual rights are separate questions. The register helps identify missing evidence; it does not establish ownership of code, licence transfer rights or warranty terms. Resolve those against the agreed documents before accepting the handover.
