+
+                  1. Create the release branch and prepare the release with \`.roo/commands/release.md\`.
+                  2. Get the release PR approved.
+                  3. Tag the release branch to trigger the Marketplace publish workflow.
+                  4. Approve the deployment when the \`marketplace-production\` environment requests it.
+                  5. After publishing succeeds, add the release PR to the merge queue.
+
+                  Avoid merging or rebasing the release branch before publishing, so the approved tag keeps the intended commit SHA.
