Crate release_kit 

release-kit: a canonical release workflow, carried whole by one binary.

The library exists so the crate’s own tests can link the modules; the rk binary in main.rs is the product. embedded holds the payload and payload_roots its one inventory, cli the argument surface, commands the handlers, skills the user-scope skill install, digest the one hash type, and error the one exit-code matrix.

Modules

applog

The application log: one rotating file for the whole binary.

atomic

The temp-plus-rename writer every landing write goes through.

branches

Local-branch hygiene after squash merges.

cli

Command-line surface: clap derive types only, one module per subcommand’s arguments. No behavior lives here; each variant routes to its handler in commands.

commands

One handler per subcommand. Handlers hold the behavior; main only dispatches, and cli only declares the argument surface.

detect

Forge, repository, and technology detection.

diagnostic

Diagnostics as data: the closed reason vocabulary and the typed error report.

digest

SHA-256 digests in their hex text form.

embedded

The compile-time payload: everything the binary serves or lands.

error

Crate-level error type and exit-code mapping.

events

The NDJSON event envelope for long-running commands.

landing

The target-side landing model: file kinds, parameter rendering, and the routing block.

output

The output boundary every handler emits through.

payload_roots

probes

The environment probe catalog.

registry

The pinned-tool registry, parsed from the embedded versions.toml.

setup

The executable half of method/02-setup.md.

skills

The agent skills: the payload, the user-scope record, and the installer.
