One thing that jumps out is how much “v1 stability” is really about deleting surface area: cut features, freeze scope, and invest in boring infrastructure like tests, build/release automation, and clear ownership so fixes don’t regress. The moment you treat reliability work as first-class backlog instead of “after launch, ” the whole project stops feeling like a clown show.
