Community GA Release Packet Validation

Community GA Release Packet Validation

CAVRA validates public Community GA release packet JSON artifacts before merge and before Community release publication.

What Is Validated

scripts/validate-release-packets.py validates:

• packet JSON syntax;
• conformance to docs/release-packets/community-ga-release-packet.schema.json;
• the complete Community GA gate set;
• public-boundary flags when boundary validation passes;
• no accepted risks on ready_for_community_ga packets.

The validator covers packet JSON files in:

• docs/release-packets/community-ga-*.json
• examples/release-packets/community-ga-*.json

It excludes the packet schema file itself.

CI Coverage

The validator runs in:

• Community CI;
• Community security scan;
• cavra-required-check;
• Community release workflow.

Local Usage

python scripts/validate-release-packets.py

Use --root for a checkout or generated packet directory:

python scripts/validate-release-packets.py --root /path/to/cavra

Next Recommendation

Continue with a final tagged Community GA release packet when the maintainer is ready to publish an official Community GA release.
