release-gate
Release safety check for: $ARGUMENTS. Output GO / NO-GO per item:
- BUILD: clean build with no errors?
- TESTS: all passing? Any skipped/flaky tests that matter?
- MIGRATIONS: pending? If yes and not yet reviewed, run
migration-review first — this item only confirms that review happened, it doesn't replace it.
- ENV/CONFIG: new vars required? Documented and configured in all environments?
- SECURITY: auth/payment/secrets changes present? If
security-scan hasn't run yet for this release, run it first — this item confirms it completed and findings were addressed, it doesn't replace it.
- BACKWARD COMPAT: breaking API, schema, or behavior changes affecting consumers?
- ROLLBACK PLAN: how to revert if this release fails?
- KNOWN RISKS: anything uncertain or untested?
- SBOM: generated and scanned for this release (devops-guard has the commands)? If missing, flag as blocker.
Final: GO / NO-GO | summary | blockers list | recommended next step
Do not deploy. Do not run migrations. Report only.
