description: >-
  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 on the real repo, gates
  on user review, then publishes or rolls back. Re-uses the
  deft-directive-swarm Phase 6 Step 5 Slack announcement template.
