Preview first, then production
Your bot ships every site change to a private preview, checks it, and only then puts it live.

Steps
- Tell your bot: every change goes to a preview link first, never straight to the live site.
- After each preview, the bot opens every page and checks it loads.
- The bot takes a phone-size and a desktop-size screenshot of the main pages.
- You look at the screenshots. If they look right, the bot puts the same build live.
- After going live, the bot checks the live pages again.
What worked / what failed
WorkedScreenshots caught broken layouts that a 'page loads' check missed.
WorkedKeeping the same build for preview and live meant no surprises.
Failed, then fixedEarly on the bot only checked the home page, so a broken inner page went live. Now it checks every page in the sitemap.
