# AAIF Release Gate

Use this guide to produce repeatable release-readiness evidence for AAIF
resubmission.

## Command

Run the full gate from repo root:

```bash
pnpm run aaif:release-gate
```

This command executes:

1. workspace build
2. workspace tests
3. docs build
4. conformance test suite

## Why This Exists

AAIF Gate 5 requires evidence that a release candidate passed build, test, docs
and conformance checks together, not as separate informal runs.

## Evidence Capture

For each release candidate issue:

1. link the CI run or terminal transcript showing `pnpm run aaif:release-gate`
   succeeded
2. include conformance output location (CI artifact or paste)
3. link docs build output
4. link any related OpenSSF gap updates

Use the issue template:

- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/release_candidate_checklist.yml`
