Release Tooling

Composable direct and candidate release automation for Buildish components and other Git-hosted projects.

buildish-release-tooling is a composable release CLI. It supports a direct, one-dispatch final release and an RC-based lifecycle that promotes one exact candidate after an external approval or voting process.

GitHub is the first implemented hosting platform. Core release identity, state, manifests, artifact policy, signing, and promotion evidence are provider-neutral. ASF behavior is available only through an explicit optional foundation profile.

Each component owns a thin workflow and its release config. The CLI provides bounded, rerunnable operations and stable machine-readable manifests; the component chooses job boundaries, GitHub Environments, secret policy, artifacts, signing, and any external gate.

Use make check as the standard local and CI gate.
