Goal

Run a single release-readiness pass for one code change.

Workflow

1. Review the stated release candidate.
2. Check the required verification signals.
3. Summarize blockers and ready-to-ship confidence.

Non-Goals

• Do not write release notes.
• Do not deploy anything.

Success Criteria

• The result says whether the change is ready to ship.
• Missing verification is called out explicitly.
