Releases

Assembles a release from channel heads: the app pins and config pins, the target environment to hold. The QA surface — everything after this is the release process.

Deploys the pins to the target environment and holds it on this release until it ships or is abandoned.

One promotion request per repository, decided by the approver its policy names. Requester and approver are two people.

Advances stable for every repository in the release; production follows stable and deploys.
