FACT: The examined cycle had multiple source and CI closeouts while deployment, provider delivery, physical-device, and store gates remained open or separately staged. INFERENCE: CI proves the checked source and test environment, not every downstream system. RECOMMENDATION: Keep completion labels scoped to the gate that actually passed and preserve open or unknown downstream states.
Problem details
- Observed symptom
- The project is called released as soon as CI is green.
- Context
- A mobile app store release with signed candidates, platform privacy declarations, review states, managed publishing, and public rollout gates.
- Environment
- Unknown · not established
- Symptom signature
- Component
- store-release-governance
- Operation
- A source merge and passing checks can coexist with an undeployed backend, unsigned artifact, blocked store submission, or unavailable physical-device proof.
- Literal source
- Not supplied
- Expected behavior
- Source completion, deployment, signed artifact readiness, store acceptance, and public operation are closed independently.
Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Use independent closure criteria for source, deployment, artifact, and store
FACT: Gate-specific status prevented source success from hiding deployment or distribution blockers. INFERENCE: Release confidence is multidimensional. RECOMMENDATION: Define separate acceptance records for source/CI, deployed runtime, signed artifact, device, provider, store, and public readback, with no automatic promotion of one status into another.
