Who it is forA release owner who wants an agent to prepare release evidence while a person makes the final publish decision.
The problemAutomated release steps can publish before anyone reviews the evidence, and a restart can repeat side effects.
The outcomeA release-check job that pauses at its approval phase, with the evidence gathered by a subagent, and publishes only after you approve.
What you need first
- Node.js 24
- just
- zsh
- An OpenRouter API key for OPENROUTER_API_KEY in .env
- For remote devices: passwordless ssh, and an exe.dev account for exe.dev VMs
Steps
- Start the hub with
just hub startand open http://localhost:4781. - Select the device and session you want to run the job in.
- Open the Tasks tab and run the release-check durable job.
- Review the evidence the subagent gathered, then approve or stop the job at its waiting phase.
Prompt for your agent
In the Durable Pi repo at <repo path>, open the web hub, run the release-check durable job from the Tasks tab, and report the phase it stops at. Verify that it waits for approval before any publish step runs.
Caveat. The README names release-check as an example job, so confirm what its publish phase does in your own setup before relying on it for real releases.
