Store sanitized exports and a machine-readable manifest with device model, configuration revision and checksum. Keep secrets in the deployment system or credential store and document how they are injected.

Tag the configuration used for each site release and keep a rollback copy. A folder called ‘latest’ is not enough when multiple engineers commission the same line.
