Prototype-Backed Workflow

Purpose

A React reference prototype models user flows, designs, domain objects, business rules and the design system in a single-page app with mocked external dependencies. It is the source of truth for how production looks and behaves. This workflow wraps ordinary implementation: it sets the rules that apply before production code changes, and it adds the parity step that proves production matches the prototype before a PR is raised.

When To Use

• The repository contains a reference prototype app and the work adds or changes any user-visible element in production.
• The work iterates on the prototype itself: design system, flows, domain objects, validation, planned or existing features.
• Exploratory comparison of prototype features with production features.
