Release process

  1. Confirm copyright ownership and third-party license compatibility.
  2. Confirm every maintained feature phase has a completed documents/phases/PHASE-NNN-*.md record.
  3. Run python scripts/manage_documents.py check, python scripts/test_documents.py, and the feature documentation policy.
  4. Run python scripts/forensic_audit.py --root . --full.
  5. Run the online dependency audit in CI.
  6. Test a clean installation on an isolated Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS VPS.
  7. Verify external inbound SMTP, login, authorization boundaries, live updates, safe HTML, and attachment downloads.
  8. Build with python scripts/build_release.py --root . --version 1.3.0-rc.1.
  9. Verify the ZIP and checksum with python scripts/verify_release.py.
  10. Publish the source ZIP, checksum, release notes, user-document manifest, and exact Git commit/tag.

A release is not promoted from release candidate to production-ready until the clean-VPS acceptance test passes.
