# v79.1 — cPanel Staging Safe Staging Repair

The v79 functional gates passed. Git staging then failed because the staging environment
template was named `.env.cpanel-staging.example` under `apps/api`, and the repository
intentionally ignores `.env*` files.

v79.1 keeps that ignore policy intact. It moves the non-secret template to:

`ops/cpanel/env.staging.example`

The cPanel package builder now copies that template into the upload artifact as
`cpanel/.env.staging.example`.

The repair also avoids treating harmless Git line-ending warnings on stderr as a release
failure. Git success/failure is determined by `$LASTEXITCODE`.

No application behavior, schema, API, POS, or production-readiness logic changes.
