Cut a new release: create the release branch (staging bake), then dispatch the production Release run on that branch.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Cut a new release. Releases are a **two-step** process:

1. **Branch cut → staging bake**: `create-release-branch.yml` computes the version from the bump type, deletes any stale `release/v<X.Y.Z>` branch, cuts a fresh one from `main` HEAD with the version-bump commit, and pushes it. That push triggers a `Release` run on the branch which is a **staging** deploy (push-triggered and main-dispatched `Release` runs are always staging).
2. **Production**: dispatching `release.yml` **on the `release/v<X.Y.Z>` branch** runs the full production release — tag, GitHub Release, DMG sign/notarize/publish, npm packages, Docker Hub images, iOS TestFlight, platform dependency bump, and the merge-back of the release branch to `main`.

Step 1 is a manual `workflow_dispatch` of `create-release-branch.yml` (the Tue/Thu 7:52am ET cron is disabled). A human performs step 2 after the staging bake is green. A `release/v<X.Y.Z>` branch with no corresponding GitHub Release means a cut was never promoted. Re-running step 1 refreshes it from current `main`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/release@sha256:5044308847aa3f1e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.80120c7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
