Checklist verdicts across quality signals making go/no-go boring and defensible.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

2. Verify rollback plan exists and was rehearsed this cycle
3. Confirm monitoring dashboards updated for new surfaces
4. Legal/support/comms sign-offs for customer-visible changes
5. Decision recorded with dissent noted — no silent overrides
6. Post-release retro compares predicted vs actual issues

## Common Pitfalls

- Severity-3 backlog blocking honest signal reading
