+## CRITICAL: Never Activate SKU Without Specs + Description + ALL Images #memory
+
+**🚫 NEVER set a Shopify product to `status: "active"` unless ALL of these hold**
+(extended 2026-06-20 from the old width+image rule to a fuller gate):
+1. **SPECS** — `global.width` (or `custom.width`) set + non-empty (HARD-required),
+   PLUS the core set (length, repeat, content/material, unit_of_measure) **where
+   the vendor provides them** (don't block on a spec the vendor genuinely lacks).
+2. **DESCRIPTION** — a non-empty `body_html`/description that is NOT a placeholder,
+   NOT "Unknown"/"Page Not Found"/404/error, and NOT bare legal/disclaimer text.
+3. **IMAGES** — ≥1 product image AND **all** of the vendor's available images for
+   that SKU attached (`vendor_catalog.all_images` / `image_url`; full-page-scrape).
+4. **GUARDS** — no banned word "Wallpaper" in title, no "Unknown" in title, sample
+   variant present (`{DW_SKU}-Sample`).
+
+**Single enforced validator** (use this, don't reinvent):
+`shopify/scripts/lib/validate-before-activate.js` → `validateBeforeActivate(product)`.
+Wired into BOTH activation chokepoints — `cadence/cadence-import.js` (create-time)
+and `cadence/activate-gated.js` (DRAFT→ACTIVE promote). On fail → keep DRAFT +
+tag `Needs-Specs` / `Needs-Description` / `Needs-Image`.
+
+Legacy summary (still true, subset of the above):
 1. **A width metafield** — `global.width` or `custom.width` must be set (not null/empty)
 2. **At least one product image** — `product.images.length >= 1`
