Superior Delivery

Move a verified change into an intended environment through a repeatable, attributable, and recoverable path. Preserve the project's existing delivery system and separate preparing a release from authorizing an external deployment.

Establish the delivery contract

Before changing or running a delivery workflow, determine:

• the deployable unit, source revision, version, and target platform;
• authoritative pipeline, build, packaging, signing, and release configuration;
• environments, promotion order, approvals, credentials, and ownership;
• artifact registry, provenance, retention, and immutability expectations;
• runtime configuration, secrets, dependencies, migrations, and compatibility window;
• rollout, health verification, pause, rollback, and forward-recovery criteria;
• whether the user requested design, implementation, dry-run verification, packaging, publishing, or deployment.

Do not infer authorization for publishing, tagging, releasing, deploying, promoting, rolling back, or changing shared pipeline settings from a request to prepare or review delivery files.
