Common Reasons Push to Production Is Blocked

Push to Production is blocked whenever QCUL cannot prove that the current live operation still matches the exact tested and reviewed plan.

Common blockers

• Laboratory test incomplete or unresolved problem state.
• Human review confirmation missing.
• Current user is not a Super User/authorized operator.
• Production protection not selected.
• Live starting version changed.
• Exact package missing or SHA-256 differs.
• Current root is a laboratory/not the intended production target.
• Insufficient storage/environment readiness.
• Another QCUL heavy/production operation is active.
• Temporary checkpoint selected but checkpoint creation/validation failed.

Use the reason, not guesswork

The readiness UI maps blocked states to administrator-facing actions such as Review the laboratory first, Open QCUL on the live site, Another QCUL task is running, or Choose production protection. Correct that exact condition and recheck production.

Production change rule

For Common Reasons Push to Production Is Blocked, the live site should change only through the explicit tested-item production workflow after current readiness checks pass. Do not substitute a new package, skip the review/protection decision, or run a second production action while QCUL already owns an active push/rollback state.
