# Django Verification Loop

Run before PRs, after major changes, and pre-deploy to ensure Django application quality and security.

## When to Activate

- Before opening a pull request for a Django project
- After major model changes, migration updates, or dependency upgrades
- Pre-deployment verification for staging or production
- Running full environment → lint → test → security → deploy readiness pipeline
- Validating migration safety and test coverage

## Phase 1: Environment Check

```bash
# Verify Python version
python --version  # Should match project requirements

# Check virtual environment
which python
pip list --outdated

# Verify environment variables
python -c "import os; import environ; print('DJANGO_SECRET_KEY set' if os.environ.get('DJANGO_SECRET_KEY') else 'MISSING: DJANGO_SECRET_KEY')"
```

If environment is misconfigured, stop and fix.

## Phase 2: Code Quality & Formatting

```bash
# Type checking
mypy . --config-file pyproject.toml

# Linting with ruff
ruff check . --fix

# Formatting with black
black . --check
black .  # Auto-fix

# Import sorting
isort . --check-only
isort .  # Auto-fix

# Django-specific checks
python manage.py check --deploy
```

Common issues:
- Missing type hints on public functions
- PEP 8 formatting violations
- Unsorted imports
- Debug settings left in production configuration

## Phase 3: Migrations

```bash
# Check for unapplied migrations
python manage.py showmigrations

# Create missing migrations
python manage.py makemigrations --check

# Dry-run migration application
python manage.py migrate --plan

# Apply migrations (test environment)
python manage.py migrate

# Check for migration conflicts
python manage.py makemigrations --merge  # Only if conflicts exist
```

Report:
- Number of pending migrations
-
