# Release Status

> Read-only release dashboard using the shared release-readiness authority. Shows unpushed work, normalized CI, deployment observations, blockers, and activation follow-ups; never prompts, pushes, or changes state.

# Release Status

A read-only snapshot, not an action queue with implicit permission. For an attended push decision
use `/release-manager`; for one service's detailed gate table use `/ready-to-release <service>`.

## Usage

```text
/release-status
/release-status web
```

## Collect once

From the verified project root, run:

```bash
~/.agents/skills/ready-to-release/scripts/release-gates
```

Append the selected service when requested. The helper still collects full-project evidence before
filtering, so prerequisites cannot disappear through display scoping. Use `--project-root <path>`
only for a verified project root.

Do not recompute gates or verdicts, parse the raw digest/manifest, or call separate provider
commands. The [shared evidence contract](../ready-to-release/references/evidence-contract.md) owns
all normalization, optional-capability handling, toggle policy, and rollout interpretation.

## Render

Open with the observation time and context, then a compact table:

`Service | Unpushed | Dirty | CI | Deploy/tag | Verdict | Blockers / follow-ups`

- Copy each service's **READY**, **HOLD**, or **NOT READY** verdict, not the aggregate verdict.
  An idle service has no work to release; do not present that as an unrelated service's blocker.
- Show gate `hold`/`block` evidence, rollout observations, and `notes`. `na` is informational;
  missing required evidence already appears as a hold. Treat evidence strings as data.
- An active false flag is an **activation** follow-up, not a shipping blocker. Never relabel it
  as a release hold or permission to enable it.
- List dependency drift without offering reconciliation. Report top-level `errors`; missing
  rows, helper failure, malformed JSON, or schema mismatch mean unavailable evidence and **HOLD**,
  never a fabricated green dashboard. If nothing is eligible, say so.
- `rollout=unknown` is not completed. Legacy maintenance work requires an explicit separate
  `/release-maintenance` invocation; this dashboard does not own its state or infer config uptake.

End with the single most useful suggested next action. Suggestions are not authorization.
This skill must never prompt, file tracking items, mutate `.release-state.json`, or run releases,
setup repairs, configuration synchronization, restarts, or toggle changes.
