Enforces the path from a green CI run to a shipped build — pubspec \`version: x.y.z+N\` as the single source of versionName/versionCode (monotonic, never reused), the release artifact verified on real hardware, signing and store API keys that never enter the repo, \`--obfuscate --split-debug-info\` with symbols archived per build or that release's crash reports are permanently unreadable, a permission set audited from the MERGED manifest and asserted whole, store declarations (Data Safety, nutrition labels, privacy manifests) provable in the repo and read back rather than trusted, size and cold-start budgets, and a staged rollout with a halt plan. Use when cutting or tagging a release, editing \`android/app/build.gradle(.kts)\`, \`key.properties\`, \`AndroidManifest.xml\`, \`Info.plist\` or \`PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy\`, bumping a version, uploading to Play or TestFlight, writing store-listing or privacy copy, symbolizing a crash, chasing size, or diagnosing an upload rejection or a blocked submission.

## From README

Release and store shipping CI proves the code; a release proves the artifact. Everything here is about the exact bundle a stranger installs — built with R8, obfuscation, tree-shaking, and release-mode asserts stripped, signed by a key you must never lose, declaring things about itself to a store that will pull the app if they are untrue. This skill starts where ci-pipeline-and-gates ends and where design-review-workflow signs off. Building, signing, uploading, and tagging are side-effecting and irreversible in part (a published build number can never be reused; an iOS build can never be unshipped). Never run them because a task seemed to imply a release — run them only when the developer asks for a release by name. Reading and enforcing the config rules below is always in scope.
