# eVentSystem Handover Checklist

Use this checklist when handing eVentSystem to the boss, colleague or hosting administrator.

## Included in this package

- [x] Laravel 13 application source.
- [x] Production frontend build.
- [x] Composer runtime folder for cPanel portability.
- [x] Safe `.env.example` with no live credentials.
- [x] Clean one-go `database.sql` starter database.
- [x] Initial Superadmin login instructions.
- [x] cPanel deployment guide.
- [x] Local macOS setup guide.
- [x] 250 MB application upload limit and cPanel PHP template.
- [x] Required Laravel writable storage/cache folders preserved.

## Information the new owner must supply

- [ ] cPanel account access.
- [ ] Production MySQL database and dedicated user credentials.
- [ ] Real Superadmin name/email.
- [ ] New Superadmin password after first login.

## If preserving an existing live installation

The included `database.sql` is a clean starter database. Before handover, export the actual live MySQL database and copy the matching `storage/app/public/launch-assets` directory. Keep those two backups together.

Do not send an active `.env` containing database passwords, API keys or other secrets in a general handover ZIP.
