'Pre-flight _____' refers to the checks completed before a deployment begins.
A 'pre-flight checklist' is a set of mandatory verification steps completed before a release starts — borrowed from aviation's pre-flight safety checks.

'We require _____ approvals before production deploy.' What number is typical for a release gate?
3 approvals is the example given in the vocabulary. Release gates requiring multiple approvals (typically from dev, QA, and a manager) ensure appropriate oversight for production changes.

'All tests pass in _____.' What environment validates the release before production?
Staging is the pre-production environment that mirrors production. 'All tests pass in staging' is a standard release gate before promoting the release to production.

'The rollback procedure is _____.' What must be done with the rollback plan before releasing?
'The rollback procedure is tested' is critical — having a rollback plan only has value if the procedure has been validated to actually work before the release goes live.
