-6. After deployment, require the installer smoke test and then run any production-safe HTTP checks. Never expose the `tests/` IIS application in production.

+7. Require the installer smoke test. Also induce a smoke-test failure in the isolated test target and verify that only resources created by that invocation are removed, or that an existing valid target's prior path and parent-path value are restored. Verify unrelated sites, pools, and bindings are unchanged.
+8. Run production-safe HTTP checks and prove rollback to a prior immutable release. Never expose the `tests/` IIS application in production.

+Linux can validate XML and repository safety/source assertions, but cannot prove Windows PowerShell 5.1 parsing, WebAdministration behavior, installed IIS features/modules, binding behavior on the live host, elevation, app-pool identity/ACLs, Access/ACE, SSH transport, cleanup under real IIS failures, or live HTTP responses. Those remain Windows/IIS gates.
