The Django guide already configures Postgres and WhiteNoise, but it stopped before explaining how the deployment actually applies database migrations and collects static assets. This adds a small deployment-command section that matches Railpack's Django start command behavior and Railway's pre-deploy filesystem semantics. Constraint: Railpack currently generates a Django start command that runs manage.py migrate before gunicorn when no custom start command is set Constraint: Railway pre-deploy commands run in a separate container, so collectstatic output must be produced during build rather than pre-deploy Rejected: Add a full Django production deployment rewrite | too broad for the two focused documentation gaps Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Tested: git diff --check Tested: pnpm exec content-collections build Tested: pnpm tsc Tested: pnpm build
