A release gives production something fixed to work from.
It is not the working design. Production keeps using it until another release is created.

Release 3 doesn't move. Everything produced from it points back to it.

WORKING DESIGN
Design has changed since Release 3.
Those changes belong to the working design. Release 3 stays unchanged, and its production runs still point back to it.

Production works from what the release actually contains.
Not a description of the product. The release carries the surfaces, artwork, placement, and vendor requirement production needs.

The same mark, at production scale.
The artwork is now physical: teal ink on black cotton at its actual chest placement.

Every production run traces back to one release.
Each run stays connected to the release production used for it.
