Promotes workloads across dev/staging/production on Control Plane. Use when the user asks about environment promotion, org-per-environment, cross-org image pulls, image promotion, deploying to production, or rollback.

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

# Environment Promotion

Control Plane has **no built-in promote or rollback primitive** — promotion is applying the same artifacts (image + manifests) to the next environment. Two topologies exist: **org-per-environment (the documented best practice)** and GVC-per-environment. The recurring failure is image access: a staging/prod org cannot pull the dev org's images until you either copy the image or wire up a cross-org pull secret.

## Choosing a topology

| Topology | Isolation | Image sharing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Org per environment** (recommended) | Strongest — policies, secrets, users, audit fully separate | `cpln image copy` or cross-org pull secret | Production, compliance-sensitive teams |
| **GVC per environment** (one org) | Weak — shared org policies and access | Same org registry; no pull secret needed | Small teams, rapid iteration |

With org-per-environment, GVCs and workloads keep **identical names** in every org, so the same manifests apply unchanged — no environment suffixes in resource names. Org creation is account-level: Console, or `cpln org create --accountId ID --invitee EMAIL`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add controlplane-com/ai-plugin/environment-promotion@sha256:b7b40d1bdf875901

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.7bf99b8, 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.
