Release Checklist

A release is not complete until code, behavior, and documentation stay aligned.

Before Release

1. Run acceptance tests and compare against golden render cases.
2. Confirm no documented control or scriptable function is missing from the docs.
3. Confirm export fidelity, QR presence, and text sharpness at target resolutions.
4. Confirm localization keys exist for all user-facing additions.
5. Confirm documentation package is produced in the timestamped doc_updates_.../_docs/en structure.

Documentation Preservation Gate

Reject the release if the doc package removes earlier information or shrinks an updated canonical file without a documented reason and manual review.
