Post-installation checks

Use a disposable Cell for the first test; do not put customer workloads on an unverified installation.

• [ ] Panel loads over HTTPS, administrator authentication works and APP_DEBUG is disabled.
• [ ] Application database connects; queue worker and Laravel scheduler run under the intended service account.
• [ ] The matching Worker connects to its Node and reports a healthy Docker runtime.
• [ ] Node allocations are configured and a test Cell installs, starts, responds on its port, stops and restarts.
• [ ] Console, file manager and SFTP work with the intended permissions.
• [ ] A backup can be created and restored; a scheduled task runs successfully.
• [ ] If using databases, assign an enabled database host to the Node and test create/connect/password reset/delete within the Cell's database limit.
• [ ] If importing existing servers, test with a disposable server first; verify files, database registration, allocations and preservation of source data before finalising.
• [ ] Back up the Panel database and .env/APP_KEY securely, and document the recovery process.
