Release Protocol
DEPRECATED (v0.84.0): This page has been consolidated into protocols/release.md,
which is the single canonical reference for both LLM agents and human developers.
Canonical Reference
Agents: Use protocols/release.md directly. It contains the complete release schema,
state machine, error codes, all 8 CLI subcommands, ship workflow, validation gates,
and platform changelog configuration.
Humans: See Release Command Documentation for usage examples
and troubleshooting, or read protocols/release.md for the full technical reference.
