Partial channel updates may expose inconsistent dependency states during ros-kilted migrations

Issue

Hi, I may be misunderstanding part of the intended release flow, but while looking into dependency conflicts during ros-kilted updates, it seems possible for the channel to briefly expose a partially updated platform state.

This does not seem limited to ros2-distro-mutex. Mutex drift looks like one visible symptom, but the broader issue appears to be that many ROS packages have deep dependency relationships, so publishing only part of a platform update may temporarily produce an inconsistent dependency graph for users.

A downstream mitigation I prototyped locally is to add a per-platform release-readiness gate before upload and to support deferred upload in the build scripts. My current assumption is that the cleaner long-term fix is probably upstream in vinca, with ros-kilted keeping a downstream safeguard. If there is already a preferred way to avoid partial platform publication here, I would appreciate guidance.

Installed packages

N/A for local end-user reproduction. This is a repository release-process issue rather than a single local environment issue.

Environment info

Repository: RoboStack/ros-kilted
Branch: main
Context: repository analysis and local prototype work around per-platform release gating

L’issue ne mentionne aucun fichier ni aucun test. Commencez par retracer le flux de release dans vinca et les scripts de build existants, puis comparez le gate proposé de préparation au release par plateforme et le comportement d’upload différé avec le prototype de ros-kilted. Le travail est considéré comme terminé lorsque l’approche upstream ou downstream privilégiée est convenue et que la publication partielle par plateforme est empêchée.
