Continuous Production Path for Any-Language Repositories

Purpose

Make deployment from main mechanical, repeatable, and safe. The system should remove manual deploy decisions while preserving runtime release decisions through flags, kill switches, routing controls, or equivalent mechanisms.

Deployment moves code. Release exposes behavior.
