Release Schedule Health (REMOVED)

This Doctor check was removed on 2026-07-16 in SPRINT_20260713_002, task BL-6G. The article remains only to explain old links.

Why it was removed

The check called GET /api/v1/releases/scheduled, but Release Orchestrator has no such endpoint, no schedule read model, and no release-schedule executor. The approval contract can persist an optional scheduledTime string, but repository-wide source verification found no runtime component that consumes it. The old article also advertised stella release schedule verbs and a release-scheduler CronJob that do not exist.

The result was a permanent warning against a phantom endpoint and misleading remediation. Keeping it would imply that scheduled execution is enforced when it is not.

What to use instead

• check.release.active for active deployments and stale pending approvals.
• check.release.promotion.gates for persisted promotion gate results.
• JobEngine Doctor checks for actual registered scheduler jobs.

A release scheduling Doctor check may return only after an authoritative schedule model, executor, API, and behavioral tests are implemented.
