# Release Readiness

## Status and ownership

ConfigKit is not release-ready. This document tracks outstanding release
prerequisites under the [temporary bootstrap exception](../policy/release.md#temporary-bootstrap-deferral).
It is not the library implementation plan and does not assign implementation
stages. The maintainer preparing the first release owns closure.

## Outstanding prerequisites

| Gap | Evidence required to close |
| --- | --- |
| No Go module or declared support matrix | Established module path, supported Go versions and platform targets documented in the release procedure |
| No release runbook | `docs/release.md` exists with the prerequisites, commands, publication guards, and verification required by release policy |
| No complete release checker | A documented command exists and exercises every applicable automated candidate gate; manual gates and inapplicable checks are explicit |
| No consumer verification procedure | Runbook verifies retrieval of the exact released module version and a representative consumer build without local replacement directives |
| No validated release candidate | Version-matched release note, current contracts/examples, and complete checks against the exact committed candidate |

No release can proceed while these prerequisites remain open. Close items only
on evidence from actual files and checks, not proposed commands. Record closure
evidence here while this roadmap remains active. Once all gaps are closed,
remove the bootstrap exception and retire this document in favor of the
operational runbook and normal release records.
