Shopify Headless evidence-gated storefront operations
How the Shopify Headless project moves from issue, content audit, catalog review, or cutover need into live storefront change: inspect source and production state, create reviewable evidence artifacts, get human/operator approval for live Shopify or deploy mutations, apply bounded changes, and verify public routes plus repo evidence afterward.
Workflow steps
- 1
Scope the storefront, catalog, blog, cutover, or agentic API issue against source docs and current production behavior
Action
- 2
Inspect repo routes, Shopify-backed public HTML, scripts, docs, and prior project checkpoints before proposing a live mutation
Process
- 3
Create a proof artifact such as a review board, remediation map, cutover run, media ledger, screenshot packet, or audit report
Action
- 4
Human operator reviews the artifact and decides whether to approve, revise, defer, or block the live apply/deploy step
Decision
- 5
Apply only the approved bounded mutation through code deploy, Shopify Admin GraphQL, catalog script, or evidence-system command
Action
- 6
Verify public route behavior, Admin/write result, link/media status, build/test/audit output, and any generated ledger or compare artifact
Action
- 7
Record a checkpoint with absolute timestamp, completed work, proof paths, remaining risk, and next checkpoint target
