The release board. Cloud release nights as a checklist of scripted steps — planned in the open, run by one operator, every action, downtime and decision on record.

Needs an authenticated gcloud with your POLYPOINT Google account — that’s the whole gate. rb then keeps itself current on the stable channel, and never changes while your Mac operates a release. rb doctor checks the rest.
$ rb new PCR-2701 --window "2026-11-18 22:00"Sections, tasks and deploy groups — in the board's plan mode or with rb plan. The plan lives in the release store, no PR: every change is shown as a diff and accepted by whoever runs it.
$ rb -r PCR-2701 takeOne operator at a time holds the release. Taking it reviews the plan, then loads the real run record — a backup operator can take over if the operator’s Mac dies.
$ rb -r PCR-2701 boardThe night on one screen: what is done, running, failed, waiting and next. Prod steps ask for the typed target; downtimes are marked and timed; the maintenance page re-routes itself.
$ rb -r PCR-2701 archiveThe timeline, the logs and every step’s state frozen in the store — secrets refused. The retro turns every failure into a tested step for the next release.
