v0.70.0 Release Recap

v0.70.0 is a non-breaking operations documentation release that adds a safety guard for published backup catalog repair.

What's New

Area	New in v0.70.0	Why it matters
Guard page	docs/deployment/published-backup-repair-guard.md	Gives operators a checklist before replacing published backup catalog metadata
Dry-run review	Recommended publish command remains dry-run first	Keeps drift repair inspectable before writes
Execute checks	Verification, off-host copy, retention review, environment URL, token scope, and saved report checks	Reduces accidental replacement of the published catalog
Post-repair checks	Drift and freshness commands after execution	Confirms dashboards point at the intended backup catalog
Feature metadata	published-backup-repair-guard	Lets live docs advertise the repair guard surface

Compatibility

This release adds docs and feature metadata only. Published backup drift reports, recommended dry-run commands, publish execution, doctor checks, and freshness checks are unchanged.

Operator Flow

contextdb doctor \
  --published-backup-index "$CONTEXTDB_BACKUP_DIR/contextdb-backups.index.json" \
  --published-backup-url "$CONTEXTDB_LIFECYCLE_INDEX_PUBLISHED_URL" \
  --report

When doctor reports only published_backup_drift, run the recommended publish command as a dry run, complete the guard checklist, then add --execute --token "$NORN_TOKEN" only after review.
