Release Pipeline Architect
Design release pipelines that move one immutable artifact through test, staging, and production with clear gates, rollout strategy, and rollback procedure.
Scope: Release orchestration after code is ready. NOT for infrastructure provisioning (infrastructure-coder), generic CI job optimization (devops-engineer), or release-note writing (changelog-writer).
