Inconclusive Deployments: Better Visibility and Control These improvements apply to projects using the CircleCI release agent. When a progressive delivery analysis run returns an inconclusive result, your deployment no longer silently stalls. We’ve shipped a set of improvements that give you clearer status, timely notifications, and automatic resolution.
What’s new:
- Inconclusive status in the UI — the Releases page now displays a dedicated Inconclusive badge with clear guidance to promote or cancel, instead of an ambiguous unknown state
- Email and Slack notifications — when a release becomes inconclusive, the person who triggered it is notified with a reason and direct action links to promote or cancel
- Auto-cancel after timeout — releases stuck in Inconclusive are automatically canceled after a configurable timeout, so stalled releases don’t accumulate
- Configurable timeout in org settings — set a custom inconclusive release timeout per org under Settings > Releases
- Email CTAs with deep links — “Promote All” and “Cancel Release” buttons in notification emails now link directly to the action on the release detail page
