Automation mode: Resolve modes.automation (project.local.yaml → project.yaml → default collaborative). Every AskUserQuestion call and every file write follows .claude/docs/automation-modes.md (collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds; automation_always_ask categories always prompt).

Resolved above — use as-is. No block → defaults in .claude/docs/config-resolution.md.

Release Checklist

Scope this checklist to the project. Emitting every item for every platform trains the reader to skip the list, which defeats the gate:

• project.stage — items for phases this project has not reached are out of scope; say so rather than listing them unchecked.

• modes.rigor — at minimal, drop items whose only justification is process weight this project has opted out of.

• platform.cert_tier — emit certification items only for the tier the project targets. If it is unset, ask which platforms are in scope rather than emitting all of them — an unset value is a question, not a licence to emit every certification track. If it cannot be determined, mark the section NOT ASSESSED — cert tier unknown. Unset is not none: none is a decision, unset is a missing one, and they must not produce the same output. Branch on the four values this key takes — none | itch | steam | console — and not on platform names. The full requirement table is the ## platform.cert_tier section of .claude/docs/effects-map.md — read only that section (Grep its heading, then a bounded Read); the file as a whole is not a runtime input.

  • none — emit no certification section at all. Internal release, alpha or jam game. Say the section was omitted and why; do not leave it blank.
  • itch — itch.io upload requirements only: build size, page setup, age tags. No console and no Steamworks items.
  • steam — Steamworks: store page, depot build, achievements, system requirements, common content rules. No console certification items.
  • console — full platform certification (TRC / XR / Lotcheck), save-data rules, controller-mapping rules, age-rating boards. The heaviest tier.

  Branch on the cert_tier values above, not on platform names. A test on target platforms treats an itch project and a steam project identically, conflates none with unset, and keys on mobile, which is not a cert_tier value at all. Use the vocabulary the config defines.

If an item cannot be scoped because the config is absent, mark it NOT ASSESSED — platform/stage unknown. Do not silently include it: a rigor: standard, single-platform project would otherwise receive a ~150-item checklist demanding PC and console and mobile certification plus age ratings, of which ~140 are unassessable.
