Certified and live (alias: prod). Full SLA enforcement.
LIFECYCLE production
The Production lifecycle stage certifies that a pipeline has been reviewed, approved, and is running as a live workload. Full SLA enforcement applies, including schedule adherence, timeout limits, retry policies, and notification rules defined in the PIPELINE header. A pipeline reaches Production through manual promotion from Staging (or directly from Development/Testing when approval gates are not required). Production pipelines can transition to Deprecated when they are superseded, or to any earlier stage if a rework cycle is necessary. Disabling or archiving a Production pipeline requires changing its status, not its lifecycle stage.
