Release Gate

When to use

Run a ship/no-ship review that aggregates quality, cert, performance, and communication readiness into a clear recommendation. Use before demo, beta, or launch.

Inputs to gather

• target release
• known issues
• build/test status
• store/cert needs

Recommended roles

• release_manager
• qa_lead
• executive_producer

Primary docs / outputs

• studio/docs/templates/release-checklist.md
• studio/docs/templates/risk-register.md

Workflow

1. Inspect the current repo/docs state first and cite concrete evidence.
2. Choose the smallest useful output that moves the project forward.
