Promote the last processed build of the day to the Nightly Beta Testers group for WordPress and Jetpack — a metadata-only App Store Connect call, no rebuild. Runs automatically on a daily schedule (`promote_nightly_build` lane + .buildkite/promote-nightly.yml). Distributes for real only on trunk (the scheduled branch); anywhere else it's a dry run.
List the nightly-group builds in Slack and let a developer pick one from a Buildkite block step, then promote it to public beta (gather_testflight_candidates + promote_build lanes + .buildkite/promote-testflight.yml). Candidates are scoped to the latest marketing line and the last 7 days, newest first, and the Slack message links straight to the block step's unblock dialog.

Summary
Adds the two beta-promotion tiers on top of the per-commit internal TestFlight builds (#25674), turning "release" into picking a build. Every promotion is a metadata-only App Store Connect call (
distribute_only) — no rebuild.promote_nightly_builddistributes the last processed build of the day to the Nightly Beta Testers group (WordPress + Jetpack).gather_testflight_candidateslists the nightly builds in Slack and opens a Buildkite block step;promote_buildships the chosen build to public beta.How it works
Safety
Both lanes distribute for real only on
trunk(the scheduled branch); any other branch or local run defaults to a dry run that touches nothing (override withPROMOTE_DRY_RUN).Not in this PR
trunk. Setup is documented indocs/testflight-promotion.md.Testing
Validated end-to-end on CI via temporary branch-gated steps (since removed):
