Walk through a complete RStack SDLC run from goal to release readiness.
This guide walks through a complete RStack run using the Pi native adapter. The same lifecycle applies to all adapters — only the tool invocation syntax differs.
RStack will not execute implementation tasks until plan and requirements are approved in interactive mode. This is intentional — it keeps you as the product owner.
Every artifact is inspectable, versioned with the run, and traceable from requirements to evidence.
