Cut a v0.X.Y release of the deft framework safely. Use when the user says "release", "cut release", "v0.X.Y", or "publish release" -- to walk an 8-phase workflow that pre-flights, runs an end-to-end rehearsal against a temp repo, lands a draft GitHub release (npm ships irrevocably at tag push), optionally QA's draft assets, then publishes the GitHub release or rolls back. Re-uses the deft-directive-swarm Phase 6 Step 5 Slack announcement template.

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.

# Deft Directive Release

Structured 8-phase workflow for cutting a v0.X.Y release of the deft framework. Operationalizes the `task release` / `task release:publish` / `task release:rollback` / `task release:e2e` / `task release:wait-npm` surface introduced in #716 (safety hardening of #74; Phase 7 wait #4267).

Legend (from RFC2119): !=MUST, ~=SHOULD, ≉=SHOULD NOT, ⊗=MUST NOT, ?=MAY.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add deftai/directive/deft-directive-release@sha256:26100eb5e0c331c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.caeabd4, 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.
