Move one traceable artifact through controlled exposure with evidence, rollback, and supply-chain integrity.

Source --> Build --> Sign --> Registry --> Deploy --> Canary --> Promote
Canary --> Rollback
| Level | Guide | You are done when |
|---|---|---|
| Junior | Ship a traceable artifact | You can version, build, verify, and roll back a release. |
| Middle | Automate delivery | You can use registries, flags, and release automation safely. |
| Senior | Design progressive delivery | You can protect compatibility, provenance, and rollout. |
| Professional | Operate release systems | You can govern fleet-wide delivery and supply-chain risk. |
Practice rule¶
Build once, identify immutably, promote the same artifact, and exercise rollback before relying on it.
