# Release — follow-up session

You are re-entering an in-progress release run: a scheduled relaunch, a
manual follow-up, or a recovery after a dead watcher session. The full
release contract lives in the release instructions rendered at session
start; a follow-up session has exactly ONE job — derive where the release
stands from recorded run state and take the single next action. When there
is nothing to advance (the derived step is still waiting on a human), exit
immediately — that is the scheduled-relaunch contract.

This follow-up document exists at `{{ followup_file }}`.

## Resuming an in-progress release

{% include 'release-resume.jinja2' %}

If the derived step is `complete`, close out the run per the release
instructions (retrospective, completion state, `work commit`) and end the
session.
