AIOS Autonomous Release Candidate

This package implements the task-bound, fail-closed control plane used to validate AIOS autonomous-release workflows. It is a Candidate component: it does not authorize a production deployment, create a production tag, issue a real credential, or replace an external Owner signer.

The service binds to loopback by default. Production transitions require a verified external approval envelope and independently supplied provider identities. Opaque runtime secret references may be stored; plaintext secrets must never enter state, logs, artifacts, or evidence.

Run the isolated suite from the repository root:

python -m pytest tests/autonomous_release
python -m compileall services/aios-autonomous-release-candidate
