# Apify paid actor preflight

Ready to run Apify Stage 2 actor: NO

This preflight is a final local guard before any Apify paid actor run. It does not call Apify.

## Checks
- [blocked] Explicit paid-run flag set — set JV_SOURCE_ALLOW_PAID=apify-stage2 only when intentionally running Apify Stage 2
- [blocked] Apify token present in environment — APIFY_TOKEN=missing
- [blocked] Spend gate allows Apify Stage 2 — 4/14 spend checks passing
- [blocked] Budget gate allows Apify Stage 2 — 6/9 budget checks passing
- [blocked] DataForSEO review explicitly selected Apify — decision=pending
- [blocked] Named Apify gap documented — no named gap from DataForSEO pilot review
- [pass] First batch stays inside caps — 3 first-batch targets, 4 held, maxActorRuns=1, maxTargets=3, maxRequestsPerBrand=3
- [pass] Actor input matches first batch only — 3 start URLs / 3 first-batch targets, maxRequestsPerCrawl=9, maxCrawlDepth=1

## Paid-run rule
- All checks must pass.
- `APIFY_TOKEN` must be a shell environment variable only.
- `JV_SOURCE_ALLOW_PAID` must equal `apify-stage2` for the run window.
- DataForSEO pilot review must explicitly choose `run_apify_gapfill` and name the gap.
- Run only the first-batch input template, then stop and inspect dataset quality/cost before any scale-up.
