- # Release Management Documentation Agents

+ # Releases documentation — agent guide

## Overview

- This document provides agent scaffolding for the Release Management documentation subsystem. The documentation is organized into specialized agent modules, each responsible for specific aspects of the Release Management system.

- **Status**: ✅ Documentation

- **Version**: 1.0

- ---

- ## Purpose

- Release management and version control documentation for the GNN project.

- ## Documentation Organization

- The Release Management documentation system is part of the broader GNN (Generalized Notation Notation) pipeline and ecosystem.

- ### Related Systems

- - **Main Documentation**: [docs/README.md](../README.md)

- - **GNN Documentation**: [gnn/AGENTS.md](../gnn/AGENTS.md)

- - **Pipeline Reference**: [src/gnn/AGENTS.md](../../src/gnn/AGENTS.md)

- - **Setup Guide**: [SETUP.md](../SETUP.md)

- ## Subsystems

- - **README.md**: Release management overview and strategies

- - **Versioning**: Semantic versioning guidelines

- - **Changelog**: Change history tracking

- ## Quick Navigation

- - **Get Started**: See [README.md](README.md)

- - **Pipeline Overview**: [src/gnn/AGENTS.md](../../src/gnn/AGENTS.md)

- - **Full Documentation Index**: [docs/README.md](../README.md)

- ## Documentation Standards

- All documentation in this subsystem follows the professional standards established in the GNN documentation system:

- - **Clarity**: Concrete examples, technical accuracy

- - **Functionality**: Shows what code actually does

- - **Evidence-Based**: Specific metrics and real examples

- - **Professional**: Clear structure, no promotional language

- ## Integration

+ Maintain the release procedure and immutable publication/archival records. A candidate version is not a published release.

- This documentation integrates with the 25-step GNN processing pipeline:

+ ## Contents

- 1. **Pipeline Initialization** (Step 0): Template setup

- 2. **Environment Setup** (Step 1): Dependency installation

- 3. **Testing** (Step 2): Quality assurance

- 4. **Core Processing** (Steps 3-9): GNN parsing and validation

- 5. **Simulation** (Steps 10-16): Model execution and analysis

- 6. **Integration** (Steps 17-24): Output and reporting

+ - [Release management](README.md)

+ - [Exact-version archival](exact_version_archival.md)

+ - [Canonical custody order](../development/fep_lean_paired_revision.md#closeout-ordering-canonical)

+ - [Workflow roster](../../.github/workflows/README.md)

- See [src/gnn/AGENTS.md](../../src/gnn/AGENTS.md) for complete pipeline documentation.

+ ## Verification

- ---

+ Follow the [documentation specification](SPEC.md) and

+ [repository documentation rules](../../.agent_rules/documentation.md). Run the

+ affected examples and consumer tests, preserve historical receipts, and report

+ actual source/runtime scope. Never infer completion from a status badge or a

+ partial test count.

- **Status**: ✅ Production Ready

- **Compliance**: Professional documentation standards

- **Maintenance**: Regular updates with new releases
