Release Audit

Generates a markdown audit of the upcoming Warp release for keep/defer decisions. Runs in two modes (auto-detected): a pre-release spot-check while work is still landing on main, or a release-candidate readiness review after the release branch is cut.

Output: a single markdown report, filed according to the destination chosen in Phase 1:

• Secret gist (default when gh is available and authenticated): stable filename warp-<version-string>-<prerelease|rc>-report.md, stable description Warp <version-string> <Pre-Release|Release Candidate> Report. Later runs against the same version revise the same gist in place; prior versions are preserved in the gist's git history.
• Local markdown file (fallback when gh unavailable, or opt-in when gh available): dated path at $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/warp-<version-string>-<prerelease|rc>-report-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md. Not auto-committed; user moves, shares, or deletes as desired.

Inputs inferred from repo state: target version from VERSION.md, checked against warp/config.py; base from the latest previous-minor tag; head from upstream/release-<target> when present, otherwise upstream/main.

References to load on demand: use references/destination-rules.md in Phase 1; references/classification-rules.md in Phases 3-5; references/language-review-examples.md in Phase 5a; and references/report-template.md plus references/render-rules.md in Phase 6b.
