A release is a handful of files. An archive for Linux on Intel, one for Linux on ARM, two for macOS, a zip for Windows, a checksums file. Every one of them was produced by a pipeline that went green, and yet the set can still be wrong in ways nobody looks for: the ARM archive holds the Intel build, the Intel Mac archive still has last week’s program inside, the license is missing from the zip.

Most software teams test their code thoroughly. Unit tests, integration tests, linters, type checks, builds on several operating systems. When all of that passes, the pipeline goes green and the release goes out.
