A browser-local drafting tool for the evidence packet that should accompany any descendant before shadow, canary, promotion, rollback, or retirement.

Purpose

The release packet builder creates a copyable Markdown outline for one candidate digest. It is designed to make the release conversation concrete: what artifact, what parent, what operator, what eval evidence, what scorecard, what rollback target, and what human owner.

Release evidence

Release-packet draft

Generate a copyable JSON-like packet for lab notes or architecture decision records. No data leaves the page.

Release packet rule

No alias move should happen from memory or enthusiasm. It should reference a packet.
