SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenShift z-stream release workflow and orchestration knowledge under Konflux; enabling teams to understand task sequencing, build promotion, test results, and MCP execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clearly explain the complete release task graph and dependencies
  • Distinguish between candidate and promoted builds, and async task orchestration
  • Provide guidance on gate checks, MCP execution, and release-state retrieval
  • Use Case: When asking "where are we in the release?" Claude can outline current phase, next actions, and expected timelines.

Quick Start

Ask release-workflow to summarize the current phase of a release, including the status of promoted vs candidate builds.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track the current phase of an OpenShift z-stream release workflow?

Release workflows track progression through build promotion phases, candidate builds, and gate checks. Query the current release state to see which promoted and candidate builds are active, what tests have passed, and which gates remain before the next phase.

What's the difference between candidate and promoted builds in a release workflow?

Candidate builds are staging versions undergoing test and validation; promoted builds have cleared gate checks and advanced in the release lifecycle. The workflow orchestrates async tasks to move candidates through gates and into promotion status.

How do gate checks work in OpenShift release orchestration?

Gate checks are checkpoints that validate build readiness before promotion. They evaluate test results and state conditions; MCP commands execute gate logic and advance or hold builds based on success or failure criteria.

Can I automate task sequencing and MCP execution across my release pipeline?

Yes. Release workflows coordinate parallel async task orchestration and MCP-based command execution to automate sequencing across the build promotion lifecycle, reducing manual intervention and enforcing consistent gate logic.

What information do I need to understand task dependencies in a release graph?

You need visibility into the complete release task graph structure, which shows dependencies between promotion stages, test phases, and gate checks. The workflow outlines sequencing, parallel tasks, and how each checkpoint blocks or enables downstream actions.
