Purpose

This page explains what the Shopflow review shelf means and what it does not mean.

In plain language:

the review shelf proves that reviewer-facing bundles and readiness materials exist. it does not mean the product is signed, store-ready, or public-claim-ready.

Current Review Channels

Shopflow currently exposes two reviewer-facing channels:

• store-review
  • store app bundles for review and verification
• internal-alpha-review
  • the Suite internal-alpha bundle

These are review channels, not store-submission channels.

What Review Artifacts Prove

The review shelf is meant to show:

• that a bundle exists for the app
• that the repo can package it consistently
• that a reviewer has a clear starting point
• that claim-gated versus internal-alpha boundaries are being described honestly

It is useful because it compresses repo-owned release-readiness truth into one reader-facing shelf.

What Review Artifacts Must Not Be Mistaken For

Review artifacts are not:

• signed production packages
• Chrome Web Store submissions
• proof that public support wording is already safe
• a replacement for reviewed live receipt evidence

Public-Safe Review Order

1. open the latest release shelf
2. read the submission-readiness summary for the app
3. inspect the per-app review bundle and reviewer start path
4. decide whether the remaining blocker is:
   • still repo-owned packaging or parity drift
   • external live evidence
   • external signing or real submission work

In plain language:

read the handoff card first, then inspect the bundle, then judge the outer blocker honestly.

Required Boundary Rules

1. Shopflow Suite stays explicitly internal-alpha-review
2. store apps stay explicitly store-review
3. review shelf wording must stay below signed/store-ready/public-ready claims
4. reviewed live evidence and signed release work remain separate outer layers

What This Page Intentionally Does Not Expose

This public page does not carry:

• maintainer-only packaging choreography
• repo-local artifact paths and reproduction commands
• CI implementation details for author-time workflows
• release-engineering repair procedures

Those details are kept off the public docs shelf so this page can stay focused on reviewer-facing meaning instead of maintainer operations.
