Deploy Release Workflow

Goal: Ship verified work with explicit deployment steps, smoke checks, and rollback criteria.

Steps

1. Confirm readiness:
   • Verification report is PASS or accepted with documented risk.
   • Required approvals are present.
   • Migrations and feature flags are accounted for.
2. Prepare release:
   • Identify version, environment, deploy command, and owner.
   • Confirm secrets, config, queues, cron, and external services.
   • Define rollback command or revert path.
3. Deploy:
   • Run staging deploy first when available.
   • Run smoke checks before promotion.
   • Promote only when smoke checks pass.
4. Monitor:
   • Check logs, metrics, errors, latency, and core user flows.
   • Stop or roll back on defined failure signals.
5. Route:
   • User-facing notes -> publish-notes.
   • Process and standards feedback -> retro-learn.
