Purpose
Explains how True Care System documents product versions, scope, risk, deployment status, validation evidence, and customer-facing changes.
Release Documentation Requirements
Release Transparency
Each release should explain what changed, why it changed, who is affected, and whether Provider action is required.
Environment Awareness
Release notes should distinguish development, testing, staging, production, TestFlight, Google Play, and Apple App Store status.
Risk Communication
Security, HIPAA, billing, payroll, EVV, data-integrity, and Provider-isolation impact must be clearly identified.
Traceability
Every production release should remain linked to approved tickets, commits, tests, deployment records, and validation evidence.
Customer Readability
Provider-facing notes should explain operational impact without exposing proprietary code, credentials, or sensitive implementation details.
