Release Prep

Overview

Standardize release preparation with a safety-first checklist: validate quality and security, update versions and docs, build production artifacts, and prepare rollout/rollback plans.

When to Use

• Preparing a release candidate or production deploy
• Coordinating pre-release validation and documentation
• Ensuring versioning, changelog, and build steps are consistent

Avoid when:

• You only need a quick version bump or doc update
• The release process is owned by a separate automation pipeline
