Release Workflow Simplification
Status: implemented; retain this completion record until release preparation.
Outcome
The maintainer-approved simplification is implemented in the release policy, procedure, and checker. Those documents own current requirements.
The workflow uses one minimum-toolchain local race-suite run, vet, module hygiene, formatting/whitespace, and Linux cross-builds. Redundant suite/subset runs and routine human sign-offs have been removed. CI never gates publication or completion; a successful push of the intended tag completes the release. Post-publication verification is optional under the explicit policy exception.
The check-script and runbook tests cover the reduced command set, failure handling, and publication guards using disposable local repositories. Implementation does not authorize an actual release.
Scope
No library API, configuration, or runtime behavior changes were made. Published tag immutability, release notes, compatibility rules, and exact-candidate publication safeguards remain in place. There is no remaining implementation work or unresolved product decision for this roadmap.
