 ## Build & Deployment
 
 - **Build/Deploy:** Use `nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<hostname>` to build and deploy the configuration for a specific host.
+- **CRITICAL — Validate before pushing:** Always `nix build --no-link '.#nixosConfigurations.<hostname>.config.system.build.toplevel'` (or `nh os build`) and confirm it succeeds before pushing any changes. Never push untested NixOS configs.
 - **Development Shell:** Activate the development environment with `nix develop`.
