Epic Goal

Our current manual release workflow is susceptible to timing issues, frequently resulting in stale snapshots and other konflux errors. These stale artifacts create friction in the pipeline and cause significant delays during the release process.

This Epic aims to speed up the release pipeline by enabling auto-release capabilities for both the Operator and FBC. Additionally, we will integrate mandatory validation steps from QE and ProdSpec to ensure immediate feedback and prevent regression.
