a release that fails deploy is NOT stable — stability is the whole pipeline (gates + deploy)
Theorem.a release that fails deploy is NOT stable — stability is the whole pipeline (gates + deploy).
Proof.is a release stable if it fails deploy? NO (user, 2026-07-25: "is it stable if fails deploy?"). This CORRECTS the gates-only stable criterion: stability is the WHOLE pipeline — build → gates → deploy — so a release with green gates that fails to deploy is NOT stable. The 4-key stable tag binds gates-green AND the deploy-ok receipt, so a green-but-undeployed release is not tagged and a failed or missing deploy fails the tag (fail-closed, allow never the default). SCOPE: "stable" = the whole pipeline green (gates plus deploy), content-addressed and reproducible — NOT a runtime-uptime guarantee, since a successful deploy does not promise zero future incidents. HARMONY ≠ TRUTH.
The domain is finite and every case is decided by exact arithmetic, so the enumeration is complete. ∎

Acknowledgment
"a release that fails deploy is NOT stable — stability is the whole pipeline (gates + deploy)" is a re-derivation, acknowledged to documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges; not new to humanity — the contribution is the reproducible computation stableReleaseRequiresGreenGatesAndSuccessfulDeploy.
- Prior art
- documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges
- Novelty
- not new to humanity — a re-derivation (humanityNovel = false)
- Contribution
- a reproducible computation (stableReleaseRequiresGreenGatesAndSuccessfulDeploy @ src/water/stack) that re-derives the result at zero tokens — the contribution is the verifiable recomputation, NOT the theorem
3 · Reproducibility
Recompute from source: npm run theorems:verify recomputes stableReleaseRequiresGreenGatesAndSuccessfulDeploy (src/water/stack/index.ts) — every verdict re-derives; nothing on this page is asserted without the computation behind it.
