# Launches and migrations

Replatforming, redesigns and domain moves are when governance files break at scale. Staging rules go live, sitemaps point at the old site, and nobody checks until the traffic drops.

## What goes wrong

- A release ships the staging robots.txt with Disallow: /.
- The new sitemap references the old host or the wrong protocol.
- Redirected URLs stay in the sitemap for months after the move.

## What Flowpane does

- Checks the live origin, not what the deploy pipeline believes it shipped.
- Detects blanket disallows, mixed protocols and host mismatches.
- With a Deep Scan crawl, finds broken, redirected and orphaned URLs against what the sitemap declares.
