Pipeline and Release Governance

workspace intelligence run builds the canonical shared understanding. pipeline is the broader governance and release orchestrator. It may sync, diagnose, analyze, evaluate readiness, verify, and perform explicitly authorized release automation, but it does not redefine the eleven-stage intelligence chain.

Contract gate

npx workspai workspace contract verify --strict --json

Contract verification publishes evidence about declared workspace boundaries. It does not replace runtime diagnostics or release readiness.

Release pipeline

npx workspai pipeline --json --strict --no-agent-sync

Use --no-agent-sync in CI when the pipeline should evaluate current evidence without rewriting agent-facing files. Strict mode makes warning policy explicit at the process boundary; operational failures remain blocking in every mode.

Authority boundaries

• Model and Graph own system understanding.
• Doctor, Analyze, contracts, and Readiness own their evidence domains.
• Verify combines current evidence into a governed verdict.
• Pipeline orchestrates the wider release workflow.
• A model or IDE may recommend an action but cannot declare a release passed.
