Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it publish a release itself?
No. WebRun only reads the live version on PyPI. Publishing a package is always a deliberate action your maintainer takes.
Why confirm a release that already went live?
Because a package publish can't be undone. Confirming quickly means a wrong release gets caught and yanked fast if something's off.
What if two versions ship in the same hour?
Each newly detected version gets its own confirmation text and its own changelog reminder, so nothing gets merged into one message.
