Description
Summary
Perform release work is using a compact quality-gate matrix in product governance, but the repo does not yet document those release gates as a durable maintainer rule.
Evidence
- Repo-root audit found no release quality-gate doc.
- Recent 1.7.0 release readiness work required explicit gates for security/privacy, performance, modularity, maintainability, test coverage, docs/release notes, debug/dead-code hygiene, compatibility, package/version metadata, and UI/browser proof.
- Those gates currently live in orchestration behavior, not in the repo.
Scope
- Document the compact release quality-gate matrix in repo docs.
- Define the required gate set and allowed statuses (
Pass,Risk,Blocked,Not applicable - reason). - Explain when a gate must be expanded versus summarized.
- Link the quality gates to release-readiness, beta verification, and stable-release approval.
Acceptance criteria
- The repo has one durable quality-gate reference for release readiness.
- Every required gate is listed explicitly.
- Allowed gate statuses are standardized.
- Release briefs and PR/release decisions can cite the repo-local gate doc instead of relying on thread memory.
