Bind release acceptance to artifact identity

Reconcile the deployed artifact with the tested identity.

Acceptance belongs to the artifact that was tested. Reconcile a rebuilt package with the QA candidate before attaching approval to the release.

Make the release decision reviewable

Illustrative release gate

Illustrative planning case: QA tested a release candidate, but the package ready for deployment has been rebuilt from a later commit.

Identity matches

Required proof: QA commit and package digest match the deployment artifact.
Hold or proceed condition: Proceed to the remaining release checks with matching acceptance evidence.

Identity differs

Required proof: A rebuild or later commit changes the proposed package.
Hold or proceed condition: Hold acceptance until the difference has appropriate validation.

Decision to make: Reconcile the deployed artifact with the tested identity.

Capture QA candidate

Owner role · Release investigator

Evidence: Commit digest and package hash identify the tested binary.

Compare deployment artifact

Owner role · Migration engineer

Evidence: The release package matches or lists its differences.

Review changed package

Owner role · Release reviewer

Evidence: Any substantive difference returns to appropriate validation.

Filled illustrative release coordination record

Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.

The synthetic QA candidate is commit a12, while the deployment package is a14 and includes a dependency update. The release is held for focused validation of that difference. A matching version label is not enough because both packages say 2.8. The checklist ties acceptance evidence to immutable artifacts rather than informal names.
Decision: Reconcile the deployed artifact with the tested identity.
Review boundary: Do not transfer acceptance to an unexamined artifact.
This example uses synthetic conditions. Replace its observations with project evidence and record any changed assumptions before adopting the plan.

Put the outline to work

Retain the QA candidate’s commit and package digest with its validation evidence.
Compare the deployment package with that identity and explain any rebuild or content difference.
Return substantive differences to appropriate validation; proceed only with acceptance tied to the actual release artifact.

Questions about this workflow

Can the same version label prove equivalence?

No. Rebuilds and later commits can share labels; retain a package digest and source identity.

Must every rebuild repeat all tests?

Assess the actual differences and build reproducibility, then run validation appropriate to any changed behavior.

Does this create tasks in the product?

No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
