Spreadsheet Release Evidence Builder

Turn deterministic spreadsheet checks into a compact human release packet.

Scenario and prerequisites

• - Use after contract normalization, formula linting and output comparison.
• Provide a reviewer role and a change ticket or redacted evidence reference.
• A failure stays visible; it is not silently converted into approval.

Input and output

Input is the three upstream JSON results. Output is READY_FOR_HUMAN_REVIEW or BLOCKED, a packet hash, finding counts and a review queue.

Installation, execution and recovery

Run python scripts/build_spreadsheet_release_packet.py --contract ... --lint ... --diff ... --output examples/output.json. Fix the source workbook or have a human approve a changed expected fixture; do not edit the packet to hide a finding.

The script does not modify spreadsheets, publish files, send messages or approve releases.

Acceptance

The sample must preserve the formula PASS and the output FAIL as a visible review finding, with a non-empty packet hash and READY_FOR_HUMAN_REVIEW.
