# RHDH release dates

Say when a milestone falls, and say which source said so. Read-only.

## Route

Load `workflows/release-dates.md`. One workflow covers both sources: Jira for
releases already in flight, the schedule spreadsheet for anything further out.
Which one answers a given version is a lookup, not a decision the user makes.

## Boundary with the neighbouring skills

- What is still open against a release is `/rhdh-release-status`.
- Drafting the Slack message that goes out at a freeze is
  `/rhdh-release-announce`, which pulls the date it needs itself.
- Which OCP, AKS, EKS, GKE, or PostgreSQL versions a release supports, and when
  they go end-of-life, is `/rhdh-platform-lifecycle`. Product lifecycle is not a
  release milestone.
- Reading or editing the RHDHPLAN release Feature as a Jira issue is
  `/rhdh-jira-api`.

## Completion

Complete when every date reported names its source — the Jira release issue key
or the schedule spreadsheet tab — and dates the two sources disagree on are shown
side by side rather than silently reconciled. A milestone the source records as
TBD is reported as TBD, never estimated from the surrounding dates or from a
previous release's spacing. When a version appears in neither source, say so and
ask for the exact version string as it appears in the sheet.
