Deliver the local release evidence
See this course’s project requirements
A local Python release script that validates source, runs tests, packages only allowlisted files, writes checksums and stops on a failing stage.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- Create an ordered stage/gate map with explicit failure branches.
- Document the exact child command, working directory, timeout, and failure interpretation.
- Create and inspect an actual archive whose member list exactly matches the release allowlist.
- Recompute the delivered archive digest and explain integrity versus correctness/provenance.
- Demonstrate failed-test stop and byte-preserving overwrite refusal in isolated copies.
- Deliver one declared local release with stage, package, checksum, failure, and operational-limit evidence.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- The implementation or declared simulation follows the supplied contract and retains inspectable original inputs.
- Normal, boundary and rejected cases are recorded with expected versus observed results.
- The changed case has a correct explanation and does not rely on hidden state.
- The project includes source, outputs, instructions and honest tool, privacy and verification limits.

The idea in everyday life
Original local greeting project: greeting.py, test-greeting.py, usage.txt, release.py and test-pipeline.py. Its release archive may contain only greeting.py and usage.txt. No external CI account, deployment, or package installation is required.
The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee.
Deliver the local release evidence — original worked practice
The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee.

1. Step 1
Run python3 test-pipeline.py against the delivered files.
You should see: Five success/allowlist/checksum/failure/overwrite cases pass.
The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee.
2. Step 2
Create a fresh final output and inspect archive members and digest.
You should see: The chosen final local artifact matches the declared manifest.
The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee.
3. Step 3
Document that file replacement is local and a crash between final archive/manifest moves may need cleanup; no live service was deployed.
You should see: Operational limits are precise.
The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee.
4. Step 4
Keep one final local release plus historical checkpoints and complete source/evidence.
You should see: A reproducible local test-and-release packet.
The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee.
What to finish
Deliver one declared local release with stage, package, checksum, failure, and operational-limit evidence.
Watch for this
Calling a local ZIP pipeline a production deployment or claiming crash-atomic publication it does not implement.
How can I tell I understand it?
Demonstrate the rule: The final packet distinguishes source syntax, test behavior, package contents, and checksum. This teaching pipeline has no remote CI, deployment authorization, or complete crash-transaction guarantee. Use the supplied variant to distinguish a changed result from a broken implementation.
