Separates the ordinary repository gate from release-only multi-platform image qualification and adds catalog-derived package, native, image, provenance, candidate-account, disposable-consumer, and resumable-publication rehearsal lanes.\n\nLocal evidence: the complete ordinary gate passed without the release image matrix; all five packed packages were installed and exercised from disposable consumers; the macOS ARM64 native archive was extracted and executed; 30 release qualification and orchestration tests passed.\n\nAcceptance still requires the hosted ordinary timing result and the complete Linux, macOS, Windows, AMD64, and ARM64 rehearsal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added release-candidate validation for packages, native binaries, and container images.
    • Added smoke tests for package consumers, image platforms, APIs, and web applications.
    • Added release orchestration for candidate assembly, integrity checks, provenance, and publication planning.
    • Added resumable publication handling with immutable-target conflict detection.
    • Added a manually triggered release rehearsal workflow.
  • Documentation

    • Added comprehensive release-orchestration requirements, design documentation, verification records, and completion evidence.
  • Tests

    • Added extensive coverage for candidate validation, workflow integrity, publication planning, and failure scenarios.

Separate ordinary CI from release-only multi-platform work and derive independent package, native, and image lanes from the release catalog. Assemble exact candidates with checksums and provenance, exercise retained distributions, and fail closed across resumable registry states.

The private deployment check exposed that cold multi-platform builds exceeded the ordinary job budget. The local canonical gate now passes without that matrix; hosted timing and cross-platform rehearsal remain change acceptance conditions.

Warning

Review limit reached

@mitro, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 28 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 270dd

The PR adds multi-platform release qualification and resumable publication, but its workflow can execute pull-request-controlled shell text on CI runners and its publication specification reverses the condition used to decide what should be published. These concrete security and correctness risks make the PR not merge-ready until corrected; several smaller portability and rehearsal reliability issues also need follow-up.

Canonicalize package and native output directories before invoking ecosystem tools. npm pack changes into each package directory, so a repository-relative destination otherwise resolves below the package and fails on a clean hosted runner.
Validate exact ordinary and release workflow receipts, emit current linkage from those receipts, and range workflow, candidate, checksum, tag, and publication mutations over their catalog-derived populations.

The first clean package runner exposed a second ambient dependency: TypeScript packers had inherited node_modules from the ordinary gate. Candidate qualification now performs locked npm installs itself. Public registry retrieval and GHCR digest provenance remain explicit rollout residuals.
Commit the TypeScript annotation lockfile so the package lane can install deterministically in a fresh checkout. Resolve the repository-root deployment qualifier when image smoke tests execute the candidate script directly, and make the annotated-tag fixture independent of ambient Git identity. Keep orchestration linkage out of the accepted-model check until the corresponding facets land.
Track the emitter's existing npm lockfile as an explicit release input. The clean hosted package lane exposed that the repository-wide lockfile ignore had hidden both public npm package locks; the annotation lock landed first and the emitter lock is the second affected artifact.
Give the workflow-created annotated candidate tag an explicit non-publishing identity. Hosted assembly runs in a clean checkout without ambient Git configuration, so the account must not depend on a developer workstation setting.
Accept the four-requirement release-orchestration model after the clean hosted ordinary gate and ten-subject rehearsal passed. Preserve revision-bound receipts in both the archive record and the reproducible current evidence input, add sound judgments for all 13 scenarios, and activate the orchestration linkage in the canonical release check. The rehearsal surfaced clean-runner path, lockfile, import, and Git identity assumptions; public registry credentials, GHCR digest provenance, and fresh public completion reads remain rollout conditions for the later publication change.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 120-123: Update the release workflow steps invoking
release/candidates.py, including the step around smoke-image and the analogous
step near the existing matrix expansion, to pass matrix.id and matrix.archive
through the step environment and reference the quoted environment variables in
the shell command instead of directly expanding matrix expressions.
- Around line 78-81: Update the native release lane around the
release/candidates.py invocation to ensure Python is explicitly available on
every matrix runner by adding actions/setup-python before the command, then keep
the existing python invocation and arguments unchanged.

In `@azimuth/model/framework/release-orchestration/spec.md`:
- Around line 68-69: Update the first-alpha publication wording to define
resumable targets as those absent from the retrieved registry state, not the
retained release account. Apply this change in
azimuth/model/framework/release-orchestration/spec.md at lines 68-69 and
azimuth/changes/archive/2026-08-15-multi-registry-release-orchestration/specs/framework-release-orchestration.md
at lines 68-69, keeping both specifications consistent.

In `@release/candidates.py`:
- Around line 306-309: Update free_port and the docker run flow so Docker
publishes container port 8080 using an ephemeral host port bound to 127.0.0.1,
then retrieve and use the assigned host port after the container starts instead
of selecting and reserving a port in advance.
- Around line 110-118: Update both tarfile.extractall calls in the release
candidate packaging flow to pass filter="data" explicitly, preserving the
existing extraction destinations and behavior while avoiding unsafe archive
paths and version-dependent defaults.

In `@release/orchestrate.py`:
- Around line 143-174: Update the workflow validation assertions around
ordinary_commands and release fail-fast checks to inspect parsed workflow
structure rather than relying on single-line run regexes or an exact global
occurrence count. Preserve validation of the canonical ordinary CI command and
require fail-fast isolation for the relevant release matrix lanes, while
allowing multiline run syntax and additional isolated matrices.
- Around line 262-273: Document the procedure for regenerating and updating the
tracked .azimuth/release/release-workflow-receipt.json after changes to
validate_release_receipt or the release candidate logic, including the supported
scripts or commands that produce the receipt. If no supported generation
workflow exists, add one to the release orchestration CLI and document its use;
otherwise stop tracking the receipt as requested.

In `@release/test_orchestrate.py`:
- Line 104: Replace the ancestor lambda assignment with a named function
accepting _root and revision and returning whether revision equals REVISION,
preserving the existing behavior while resolving Ruff E731.

.azimuth/release/release-workflow-receipt.json is tracked, and ./release/check.sh --experiments-executed validates it through scripts/check.sh. The release/orchestrate.py CLI has no receipt-generation command. Document how to produce and update the receipt after editing release/orchestrate.py or release/candidates.py, or stop tracking it.

Route PR-controlled matrix values through the workflow environment, make Python availability explicit, and remove the container port allocation race. Parse the bounded workflow structure, harden archive extraction, and add regression cases for those paths. Correct the resumable-publication predicate and document how hosted receipts are reconstructed with gh. The existing release receipt is intentionally stale until GitHub exercises these new executable inputs.
Run the env-bound native command under Bash on every selected runner so Windows does not reinterpret the POSIX variable reference. Correct the receipt guide to distinguish the PR source revision from the merge execution revision observed by the candidate account and attestations.
Record successful GitHub run 31862856073 for the corrected workflow and exact ten-subject candidate account. Re-judge all affected claims against the downloaded artifacts and signed attestations, document the review findings and Windows diagnostic failure, and refresh the archive finalization fingerprint. The complete local repository gate and release gate both pass with no model holes.
