 ```
 
 Snapshots live under `tests/visual/__snapshots__/`.
+
+## Release Fidelity and Owner Review
+
+Visual regression and mockup fidelity are deliberately separate gates. `npm run test:visual:prod` verifies the candidate against committed regression snapshots; it does not establish that the current UI matches the approved product design.
+
+After the approved references are available at `docs/product/<version>/mockups/`, make an offline review packet. For v0.4.0 the packet pairs `weekend-between-races` and `weekend-live` at the 1280×800 desktop reference viewport, plus `weekend-between-sessions-mobile` at the 390×844 mobile reference viewport. The capture configuration uses the same seeded SQLite data and unreachable OpenF1 endpoint as the visual suite.
+
+```bash
+export RELEASE_FIDELITY_VERSION=v0.4.0
+npm run release:fidelity:capture
+npm run release:fidelity:packet
+```
+
+Open `release-fidelity/v0.4.0/index.html` and review every approved-mockup/candidate pair. The owner, not an automated tool, records a decision in the committed file `docs/release/owner-reviews/v0.4.0.md`:
+
+```md
+# Owner Fidelity Sign-off: v0.4.0
+
+- Version: v0.4.0
+- Candidate commit: <full commit SHA>
+- Reviewed by: <owner name>
+- Reviewed on: YYYY-MM-DD
+- Decision: approved
+```
+
+Do not create the file or use `approved` until the owner has reviewed the packet. Once it is committed, the release gate can verify the evidence and decision:
+
+```bash
+npm run release:fidelity:verify
+```
+
+The verifier requires the sign-off commit to be `HEAD` and to change only `docs/release/owner-reviews/<version>.md`. Its full candidate SHA must equal `HEAD^`; any code change after approval requires a new owner sign-off. It also requires the owner, date, and approved decision fields. It intentionally cannot assess visual fidelity or create approval.
+
+For a release candidate, `npm run release:fidelity:gate` runs production visual regression first, then capture, packet generation, and owner-evidence verification in that order. It will remain red until the owner has committed the sign-off.
+
+## Deployment and Rollback
+
+Build and preserve a SHA-256 record with the deployable binary. Verify the staged binary before replacing the running one:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p dist
+go build -trimpath -o dist/box-box ./cmd/main.go
+sha256sum dist/box-box | tee dist/box-box.sha256
+sha256sum -c dist/box-box.sha256
+```
+
+Record the current production binary and its SHA before deployment. If owner review rejects the release or deployment fails, restore that saved binary, then verify the restored SHA is byte-identical to the pre-deployment record:
+
+```bash
+sha256sum /srv/box-box/box-box
+install -m 0755 /srv/box-box/backups/box-box.previous /srv/box-box/box-box
+sha256sum -c /srv/box-box/backups/box-box.previous.sha256
+```
+
+Restart and health-check the service using the deployment environment's normal procedure. Keep the candidate SHA, prior SHA, fidelity packet path, and owner sign-off path with the release record.
