Production notes

Make it reliable before launch

Submit from the real production domain and confirm delivery logs show the expected origin.
Keep hidden fields for routing and context, not secrets. Public access keys are identifiers.
Use allowed domains, honeypots, rate limits, and optional CAPTCHA for public forms.
Test uploads, webhook payloads, spreadsheet rows, and autoresponder copy before publishing.
