How to Prevent CI Pipelines From Deploying Artifacts From the Wrong Branch

11/10/2026

A pipeline may publish an artifact from a reused tag, stale workspace, or branch filter that does not match the release.

Checks to make

Attach commit and branch metadata to artifacts, use immutable identifiers, clean or isolate workspaces, and verify the artifact provenance before deployment. Add a release gate that compares the approved commit with the image or package digest.
