+# Production Preflight Checklist
+
+Use this list before promoting a build to production.
+
+## 1. Configuration
+- [ ] `JWT_SECRET` set (>=32 random bytes, not placeholder)
+- [ ] Database URL / credentials use production secrets (no local `.env` leakage)
+- [ ] `RUST_LOG` level appropriate (no `debug` in prod unless temporarily troubleshooting)
+
+## 2. Database & Migrations
+- [ ] All migrations applied up to latest (028 unique default ledger index)
+- [ ] No duplicate default ledgers:
+  ```sql
+  SELECT family_id, COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE is_default) AS defaults
+  FROM ledgers GROUP BY family_id HAVING COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE is_default) > 1;
+  ```
+- [ ] (Optional) Pending rehash plan for bcrypt users:
+  ```sql
+  SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE password_hash LIKE '$2%';
+  ```
+
+## 3. Security
+- [ ] Superadmin password rotated from baseline (not `admin123` / `SuperAdmin@123`)
+- [ ] No hardcoded tokens or secrets committed
+- [ ] HTTPS termination configured (proxy / ingress)
+
+## 4. Logging & Monitoring
+- [ ] Sensitive data not logged (spot-check recent logs) 
+- [ ] Health endpoint returns `status=healthy`
+- [ ] Alerting / log retention configured (if applicable)
+
+## 5. Features & Flags
+- [ ] `export_stream` feature decision documented (enabled or deferred)
+- [ ] `core_export` feature aligns with export requirements
+
+## 6. Performance (Optional but Recommended)
+- [ ] Benchmark run with expected production dataset size (see `scripts/benchmark_export_streaming.rs`)
+- [ ] Latency and memory within targets
+
+## 7. CI / CD
+- [ ] Required checks enforced on protected branches
+- [ ] Cargo Deny passes (no newly introduced high-severity advisories)
+
+## 8. Backup & Recovery
+- [ ] Automated DB backups configured & tested restore path
+- [ ] Rollback plan documented for latest migrations
+
+## 9. Documentation
+- [ ] README environment section up to date
+- [ ] Addendum report corrections merged (`PR_MERGE_REPORT_2025_09_25_ADDENDUM.md`)
+
+## 10. Final Sanity
+- [ ] Smoke test: register → login → create family → create transaction → export CSV
+- [ ] Error rate in logs acceptable (< agreed threshold)
+
+---
+Status: Template ready for team adoption.

+## PR Merge Report Addendum (2025-09-25)
+
+This addendum corrects and extends the original `PR_MERGE_REPORT_2025_09_25.md`.
+
+### 1. Correction: Default Ledger Unique Index
+
+Original report showed an example:
+```sql
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_family_ledgers_default_unique ON family_ledgers (family_id) WHERE is_default = true;
+```
+
+Actual merged migration (028):
+```sql
+-- File: jive-api/migrations/028_add_unique_default_ledger_index.sql
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_ledgers_one_default
+    ON ledgers(family_id)
+    WHERE is_default = true;
+```
+
+Key differences:
+- Table name is `ledgers` (not `family_ledgers`).
+- Index name: `idx_ledgers_one_default`.
+- Uses `IF NOT EXISTS` to remain idempotent.
+
+### 2. Streaming Export Feature Flag
+
+- New cargo feature: `export_stream` (disabled by default).
+- Enables incremental CSV response for `GET /api/v1/transactions/export.csv`.
+- Activation example:
+  ```bash
+  cd jive-api
+  cargo run --features export_stream --bin jive-api
+  ```
+- Fallback: Without the feature the endpoint buffers entire CSV in memory.
+
+### 3. JWT Secret Management
+
+Changes recap:
+- Hardcoded secret removed; now resolved via environment variable `JWT_SECRET`.
+- Dev/test fallback: `insecure-dev-jwt-secret-change-me` (warning logged unless tests).
+- Production requirement: non-empty, high entropy (≥32 bytes random) value.
+
+### 4. Added Negative & Integrity Tests
+
+| Test File | Purpose |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `auth_login_negative_test.rs` | Wrong bcrypt password → 401; inactive user refresh → 403 |
+| `family_default_ledger_test.rs` | Ensures only one default ledger; duplicate insert fails (migration enforced) |
+
+### 5. Recommended Follow-up Benchmark
+
+Suggested script (added separately) seeds N transactions and measures export latency for buffered vs streaming modes.
+
+### 6. Production Preflight (See `PRODUCTION_PREFLIGHT_CHECKLIST.md`)
+
+- One default ledger per family (query check)
+- No bcrypt hashes remaining (or plan opportunistic rehash)
+- `JWT_SECRET` set & not fallback
+- Migrations up to 028 applied
+- Optional: streaming feature withheld until benchmarks accepted
+
+---
+Status: All corrections applied. No further action required for already merged PRs.
