# Release Review
A two-pass review for a project at a release or checkpoint moment. Designed so the same review pack is also the input for external models (codex, glm, others) — no Claude-specific tooling lives in the pack.
## When to use
- Before tagging a version
- Mid-stream during a long upgrade arc (checkpoint review — substitute the verdict, see Severity below)
- Before handing a project to other reviewers (e.g. external models)
## When NOT to use
- **Per-task PR review** — call `yojana_context shape="review"` for the task plus the diff. Different, lighter-weight workflow. The release review's pack is overkill for a single task.
- **Forward-looking refactor planning** — use vidhi-deepen instead. (Release review *spawns* vidhi-deepen as one of its two passes — see step 5.)
- **Cross-project consistency for the manas constellation** — wait for vidhi-constellation-review (TBD).
## Process
### 1. Verify project state
- `git status --short` — uncommitted work in the diff makes the review noisy. If dirty, ask the user whether to stash or include.
- Confirm scope with the user: tagged release, commit range (e.g. `wm-1..wm-12`), or all-of-HEAD?
- Note in `00-meta.md` whether this is a release gate or a checkpoint.
- Check whether a running daemon's version matches the source version — they may differ during a deploy gap. Record both in meta.
### 2. Build the review pack
Pack location: `/tmp/review-pack-<project>-<date>/` (transient — pack is reproducible from source).
