Leave a clear starting point.
A useful handoff explains the service, version, intended date, current state, and unresolved questions. The goal is to let another person understand the work without searching through every conversation that preceded it.
Separate status from confidence.
A release can be in review and still have an unresolved blocker. Keep that blocker visible. A readiness count says how many defined checks were entered; it is not a prediction of incident risk or a guarantee that the change is safe.
Close with context.
When a release is marked released, keep the version and the final review state available. An activity history helps explain changes over time. The release decision and the actual deployment remain the responsibility of the appropriate people and systems.
