Community Release Index Freshness

Community Release Index Freshness

CAVRA validates the public Community release index so users and maintainers can trust that each indexed Community release points to matching release notes, verification evidence, README links, wiki navigation, and a valid publication state.

Validation Command

python3 scripts/validate-community-release-index.py

The validator checks release index rows, supported publication states, public Community GitHub Release URLs, release notes paths, verification packet paths, README links, wiki navigation, release-note backlinks, and explicit dry-run marking for dry-run release records.

CI Enforcement

The validator runs in Community CI, security scan, release-community, and the cavra-required-check governance workflow.

Boundary Notice

This control validates public Community release documentation only. It does not load Enterprise packages, inspect private release registries, contact license services, or expose private artifact locations.

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.
