RC Review Handoff¶

Author: Techrevati doo

RC review handoff status: Pending until final reviewer signs off.

This handoff is the final release-candidate review packet for 0.3.0rc1. It does not approve the release candidate, publish artifacts, or mark stable production readiness complete. It gives the reviewer one place to confirm the diff scope, gate evidence, external blockers, and no-go rules before any stage, tag, or publish action.

Purpose¶

The release-candidate diff is large enough that review must be evidence-led. This handoff ties together the final diff review, release-candidate inventory, staging manifest, remote CI validation, security review, private RC publication, controlled pilot evidence, and rollback proof.

Package Snapshot¶

Review the release candidate as this package shape:

• package name: techrevati-runtime,
• technical namespace: techrevati.runtime,
• release candidate: 0.3.0rc1,
• target stable release: 0.3.0,
• release shape: Python runtime package,
• first production channel: private package registry or controlled internal artifact channel,
• hosted service wrapper: out of scope for 0.3.0,
• public package index publication: out of scope until controlled pilot approval.

Review Inputs¶

The reviewer must inspect or attach these inputs:

• docs/compliance/rc-inventory.md,
• docs/compliance/final-diff-review.md,
• docs/compliance/staging-manifest.md,
• docs/compliance/remote-ci-validation.md,
• docs/compliance/security-review.md,
• docs/compliance/private-rc-publication.md,
• docs/compliance/pilot-evidence-template.md,
• docs/compliance/rollback-proof-checklist.md,
• git status --short --branch,
• git ls-files --others --exclude-standard,
• git diff --stat,
• full production gate output,
• remote CI result for the same reviewed commit.

Diff Review Checklist¶

Confirm these release-candidate groups before approving private RC publication:

• repository hygiene and ignored artifacts,
• untracked release assets classified by the staging manifest,
• public branding limited to Techrevati doo,
• package metadata, changelog, and version consistency,
• workflow hardening, action pinning, and release tag gates,
• guard scripts, guard tests, and CI parity,
• public API compatibility and documented import surface,
• runtime behavior by subsystem,
• documentation accuracy and operator readiness,
• examples, tutorials, and migration guidance.

Gate Evidence Summary¶

The handoff must point to the latest current gate evidence in docs/compliance/rc-inventory.md. The evidence must include:

• full production gate result,
• total test count,
• total coverage,
• per-module coverage floor result,
• strict typing result,
• lint and format result,
• strict documentation build result,
• public branding guard result,
• distribution artifact check result,
• package metadata rendering result,
• all verify-time guard results,
• staging manifest guard result.

Current handoff snapshot collected on 2026-06-01:

• branch: production-rc-0.3.0,
• tracked diff: 191 files changed, 28815 insertions, 1810 deletions (committed branch delta main...HEAD; the release candidate is no longer an uncommitted working tree),
• untracked release assets: 0 files, all release assets are committed,
• latest local/server full production gate: 1,053 tests passed with 94.76 percent total coverage,
• local/server documentation, public branding, source hygiene, security pattern, release, package, workflow, and distribution guards: passed,
• remote CI result: pending,
• security review result: pending,
• private RC publication readiness: pending,
• stable release blockers: final diff sign-off, remote CI parity, security sign-off, private RC publication, controlled pilot, and rollback proof.

External Blockers¶

Keep these blockers open until real evidence exists:

No-Go Rules¶

Do not stage, tag, publish, pilot, or promote when any of these are true:

• reviewer handoff is unsigned,
• final diff review is unsigned,
• untracked release assets are not classified by the staging manifest,
• remote CI is missing, red, or for a different commit,
• security review is unsigned,
• private RC publication checklist is incomplete,
• public branding guard fails,
• secret leak guard fails,
• dependency vulnerability guard has unresolved high or critical findings,
• workflow hardening or action pinning guard fails,
• package-level public API differs from the frozen set,
• techrevati.runtime namespace changes,
• release artifacts or SBOM files are missing,
• controlled pilot evidence is marked complete before the real pilot,
• rollback proof is marked complete before the real pilot environment test.
