# Release Checklist
Complements the `/release` flow (CHANGELOG fold, version bump, CI checks,
signed tag, publish). Human judgment items that the automation cannot
decide:
- [ ] **Analysis version policy** (CLAUDE.md "Analysis Version Policy"):
if any analysis output changed materially this release, bump
`PREANALYSIS_VERSION` in `src/core/preanalysis.rs`; if cached artifacts
from the previous version would now be *worse* than re-analysis, raise
`MIN_COMPATIBLE_VERSION` too so sidecars regenerate.
- [ ] CI green on the shipping surface: `cargo test --all-targets`,
clippy `-D warnings`, `cargo fmt --check`, docs with
`RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings"`, and the desktop crate checks.
- [ ] Quality gates: the CI quality-gates job (`engine_ab_matrix`,
`engine_wcet`) and public-corpus job (`bpm_accuracy`,
`rubberband_reference_gate`) are green on the release commit.
- [ ] If DSP changed audibly this release: owner listen recorded in the
relevant ROADMAP stage note before tagging, with the implementation
state (commit) noted alongside the verdict.
- [ ] README latency table and RT-contract claims still match the code
(profile latencies, tempo range, MSRV/toolchain pins).
