Community Maintenance Release Evidence Template

Community Maintenance Release Evidence Template

Use this template for every public CAVRA Community maintenance release after Community GA v0.1.0.

The packet is public-safe by design. Do not include Enterprise source code, trial package internals, paid policy packs, SaaS backend implementation, license-service secrets, customer data, private keys, private registry tokens, or private deployment evidence.

Packet Files

File	Purpose
docs/release-verifications/community-vX.Y.Z-maintenance-verification.md	Human-readable release verification and approval summary.
docs/release-verifications/community-vX.Y.Z-maintenance-verification.json	Machine-readable maintenance-release evidence packet.
docs/releases/community-vX.Y.Z.md	Public release notes.

JSON Requirements

The JSON packet must validate against docs/release-verifications/community-maintenance-release.schema.json and include all required gate names from the checklist.

Next Recommendation

Implement Community v1.0.0 release-candidate hardening packet from the completed Node 24 readiness baseline with signed artifacts, reproducible provenance verification, GA announcement checklist, and final operator evidence.
