# Release
## Iron Law
`BREAKING CHANGES BUMP MAJOR. AGENTS PREPARE RELEASES; HUMANS MUTATE SHARED ENVIRONMENTS.`
## When to Use
- The user explicitly asks for release prep, versioning, changelog work,
release notes, tags, publish planning, rollout, rollback, deprecation, or
migration notes.
- The user approves release prep after a concrete diff exposes release
artifacts or rollout obligations: manifests, `CHANGELOG.md`, package locks,
plugin/package metadata, CI/CD gates, feature flags, migrations, publish
scripts, or rollout plans.
- A repo validator requires release artifact sync for an already-approved
change.
## When NOT to Use
- Starting implementation because a change might later need versioning,
changelog, packaging, registry, rollout, or deployment work. Note release risk
in `workflow` and ask only at the concrete release-prep decision point.
- Triggering deploys, rollbacks, promotions, approvals, production config
changes, feature-flag flips, DNS changes, infrastructure applies, or other
shared-environment mutations. Prepare the command/checklist for a human.
- Internal refactors with no caller-visible impact; use
`refactoring`.
- Local project bootstrap before release/deployment exists; use
`scaffolding`.
- Database DDL/data safety itself; pair with `database`.
- Service monitoring and alert design; pair with `observability`.
## Core Ideas
1. Release is a late gate. Implementation approval is not release approval.
