AI Landing Zone release management
- Read the release and branching rules in
AGENTS.md and scoped instructions.
- Confirm
develop, when used, includes the latest release from main.
- Determine semantic-version impact from compatibility and behavior.
- Keep
manifest.json tag and ailz_tag, changelog version, Git tag, and
GitHub Release title equal to vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
- Verify the exact commit with Copilot asset validation, targeted tests, Bicep
build and lint, preflight, and Azure evidence appropriate to the change.
- Confirm repository and public documentation status.
- For major or minor changes, record Portal and Terraform parity follow-up.
- Publish notes from the changelog and verify the created tag and release.
- Reconcile
develop with main immediately after release.
Never infer a version from stale prose. Never publish a tag, release, package,
or production deployment without explicit human approval.
