Pulse v6 Prerelease-to-GA Rehearsal Record
Use this template to capture the human-side evidence for
rc-to-ga-promotion-readiness after running the Release Dry Run workflow.
Prefer generating the record with
python3 scripts/release_control/record_rc_to_ga_rehearsal.py --run-id <run-id>
rather than hand-writing it. If --output is omitted, the recorder writes to
docs/release-control/v6/internal/records/rc-to-ga-promotion-readiness-rehearsal-<record-date>.md.
The matching GitHub Actions artifact should be the machine-generated
rc-to-ga-rehearsal-summary.
Treat that artifact as the machine-owned source for the candidate stable tag, promotion channel, promoted prerelease tag, rollback target, exact rollback command, and planned GA/EOS dates. Only override those values in the human record if the operator is correcting a verified artifact mismatch.
The generator should fail closed if the artifact omits any of that promotion metadata. Do not repair a malformed artifact by hand-writing the missing candidate tag, promotion channel, promoted prerelease tag, rollback target, rollback command, or GA/EOS dates into the record.

Minimum Human Notes
- Confirm the rehearsed branch matched the governed release line from
control_plane.json(currentlypulse/v6-release). - Confirm the release path was exercised end to end up to, but not including, publication.
- Confirm no manual input was surprising or ambiguous during the run.
- Confirm the artifact-owned candidate stable tag, promotion channel, promoted prerelease tag, rollback target, exact rollback command, planned GA date, and planned v5 end-of-support date match the intended publish notice.
- Record any follow-up issue that must be fixed before the real promotion.
- Link this record and the matching artifact from the release ticket before clearing the gate.
