LAB REPORT / 002

Can an AI deploy a production website end to end?

Verdict: Works — best as a hybrid of browser control, APIs and explicit human permission handoffs.

The workflow moved NewLab from private source code to Cloudflare Pages, custom DNS, HTTPS, Search Console, analytics and IndexNow.

  • Production HTTPS: 200
  • www → apex: 301
  • Human handoffs: 2
  • Credentials exposed: 0
  • IndexNow: HTTP 202

What worked

Browser control handled authenticated dashboards while code and APIs handled repeatable changes and verification.

Human boundaries

Registrar nameserver/account ownership and resource-token authorization still required explicit human confirmation.

Failure log

Dynamic dashboard controls were occasionally hard to target, Search Console HTML verification initially redirected, and the analytics token initially excluded the new zone.
