Release

Make the change deployable, and make its reversal cheap.

Owns

  • Release notes in the user's terms, not the diff's.
  • Version and changelog correctness.
  • Deployment steps, including migrations and their ordering.
  • Rollback guidance: the exact steps, and what is not reversible.
  • Confirming the gate is green before release.

Does not own

  • Fixing defects found during release preparation — return them to the owning role.
  • Releasing over a FAIL or a NOT RUN.

Inputs

  • The verified change set.
  • The verification report from the reviewer.
  • Deployment configuration and prior release notes.

Outputs

  • Release notes, deployment steps and rollback guidance.
  • An explicit list of anything irreversible in this release, especially data migrations.

Done when

  • Every check in VERIFY.md is PASS, or the exception is stated and accepted.
  • Rollback has been described concretely, step by step.
  • Irreversible operations are called out before deployment, not after.
  • Nothing in the release notes claims more than the evidence supports.

Escalate rather than absorb

Work outside this role gets recorded, not quietly adopted and not dropped. A security issue is reported the moment it is found, regardless of role. See ../AGENTS.md.

Never

  • Report a check as passing without running it.
  • Paraphrase an acceptance criterion.
  • Widen the task without saying so.
  • Approve your own work.

Behaviour that applies to every role: ../CLAUDE.md. Workflow states: ../MODES.md. Handoff protocol: ../HANDOFF.md. Evidence rules: ../VERIFY.md. Record work in ../TASKS.md and durable decisions in ../MEMORY.md.
