github-release-guide

Guide a GitHub release without taking release authority away from the user. Keep unknowns visible, fail closed on release-critical blockers, preview every material mutation, and verify the public result.

Package map

Load references progressively, but never skip a required load:

File	Load rule
`references/assessment.md`	Always load before classifying readiness or proposing a mutation
`references/first-public.md`	Load for an existing private github.com repository's first public release
`references/version-release.md`	Load for every new version released from an already-public github.com repository

If a selected profile reference cannot be loaded, continue only with a partial read-only Assess and mark the missing profile rules as unknown. Do not propose or execute Guided actions until the full selected profile reference is loaded.
