Can I use this on a server running multiple applications?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific safeguards to ensure only Witch City Rope containers are affected, preventing accidental downtime for other services on shared infrastructure.

How does the skill verify a successful deployment?

It performs a multi-stage verification including container recreation checks, service health checks (Web, API, DB), and smoke tests on critical endpoints like the homepage and events API.

Does this skill support automated rollbacks?

Yes, the skill is designed to work alongside a rollback procedure that allows you to quickly revert to the previous stable Docker image tags in case of failure.

What are the prerequisites for running a deployment?

The skill requires a clean Git state, a 90% or higher test pass rate, active Docker services, and authenticated access to the DigitalOcean Container Registry.
