🤖 Generated with Claude Code

New page covering the release validation engine — value, use cases,
how validation works, config overview, and limitations. Companion to
the flat-config reference in PR #10469 (DR-520).

Until now, release management on CircleCI required Kubernetes, Argo Rollouts, and the Release Agent. The validation engine removes that requirement. You define a policy, point a monitor at a webhook URL, and CircleCI determines release health for you.

No specialized infrastructure:: Gate releases without Kubernetes, Argo Rollouts, or the Release Agent. The engine builds on the release management you already have.
Works with your existing tools:: The engine has built-in support for Datadog, and a custom provider for any other tool that can send an HTTP POST. You reuse the monitors you already operate.
