  • Release coordination: manage release candidate PRs, CI monitoring, QA verification, staging, and production deployment.
  • Roles and guardrails: enforce human checkpoints at QA approvals and pipeline gates.
  • Optional wiring: adapt to existing release-manager agents or run directly under Gandalf.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate a production deployment with mandatory QA and CI gates?

Release orchestration manages the end-to-end lifecycle from release candidates through production deployment. It enforces mandatory human checkpoints, requires CI green on release branches, and escalates blocking issues to maintain a traceable process.

How do I automate release management from release candidates through staging?

Release management tracks release candidate PRs, monitors CI pipelines, verifies QA, and deploys to staging before production. It applies traceable, auditable guardrails across projects with release automation.

Can I integrate existing release-manager agents with this deployment workflow?

The deployment workflow optionally wires into existing release-manager agents or runs directly under Gandalf. It adapts to existing automation setups for orchestration.

What happens if CI fails or QA is blocked during a production release?

The workflow escalates blocking issues directly to the user when CI fails or QA is blocked. It requires CI green on the release branch and enforces mandatory human checkpoints before proceeding.

When do I need to enforce human checkpoints in a CI and QA deployment pipeline?

Enforce human checkpoints in a CI and QA pipeline when coordinating production releases to ensure a traceable, auditable process. Mandatory approvals are required at QA verification and pipeline gates.
