I taught my release checklist to wait for me

Description and use

The author built a workflow that persists release evidence, uses an LLM to explain findings, and pauses until a human review, eliminating the need to remember checklist items.

Problem

Release artifacts are published but not installable, causing failures after a build is finished.

Outcome

The prototype demonstrates that release evidence can be persisted, explained by an LLM, and reviewed before re‑checking, eliminating the need to remember checklist items.

Workflow

• Run parallel check groups for release, package, and links
• Aggregate results
• Invoke Gemma for evidence explanation
• Pause workflow awaiting human review
• On review, commit findings and optionally re‑check
• Persist state in SQLite via Mastra
• Export observations to Miilo for visibility

Evidence

Miilo Release Caretaker is a release-review workflow that gathers evidence, explains what needs attention, and waits for a person to return.

Source

The workflow runs three parallel check groups: release, package and links.

Source

Gemma inspected the formula evidence and explained the 1.2.0 versus 1.1.0 mismatch using two model requests and one evidence-tool invocation in 11.3 seconds.
