A release engineering platform

The question

Release engineering is invisible when it works. Code goes in, artifacts come out, and nobody asks what happened in between until it breaks. So: what would it take to make that work visible?

The answer I’m exploring is a GitHub-like platform, built and operated on the lab’s hardware, where the interesting part is not the code hosting but everything downstream of it: building, signing, packaging, and releasing software across architectures that genuinely disagree with each other — SPARC, POWER, RISC-V, MIPS, arm64, x86-64.
