Do static websites need release gates?

Yes. Lead-generation sites depend on routing, SEO, analytics, forms, APIs, and third-party scripts, all of which can regress.

What is a minimum production smoke check?

Check the home page bundle, API health, sitemap, robots, console errors, failed network requests, and primary CTA flow.
