Update Rollout Strategy

Updates should not jump instantly from unseen to universal.

Rollout Stages

• internal or maintainer validation
• preview or beta exposure
• limited stable exposure
• broader stable exposure
• full stable promotion

Stage Rules

• lower-risk channels first
• pause when regressions appear
• stop when verification or compatibility evidence weakens
• keep rollback ready at every stage

Good Use Cases

• canary stable rollout
• beta-only preview of a new framework capability
• plugin-sensitive updates held back until compatibility is confirmed
