Deploy Release

It forces you to confirm readiness, document your rollback plan before you deploy, run smoke checks between staging and prod, and monitor specific signals afterward. The template gives you a structured deployment report with evidence for each check, which is honestly more useful for the post-mortem than during the deploy itself. Best for teams that have been burned by cowboy deploys and need a checklist that covers migrations, feature flags, and the stuff that breaks at 2am. Routes you to publish notes or retro workflows depending on what you learn.
