Checklist
Release review
A short list to run before a production release: the change, the proof, and the rollback.
25 October 2026
Use this on the pull request or the release ticket. The long API and website lists live with the essays.
- The change is named, and the owner is named.
- The check that proves the change is in the suite, or the reason it stays manual is written down.
- Failure output says what broke, not only that a count moved.
- The rollback is a command someone besides the author can run.
- The monitor that would page you is already watching the new path.
