Summary

Roll out the feature currently behind the duo_chat_goal_command feature flag.

• DRI: @
• Team Slack channel: #<slack-channel-of-dri-team>

Note

Process and guidance live in the docs — this issue is just the commands and a place to track the rollout. "Rolling out" means incrementally enabling the flag on GitLab.com to validate stability — it is not the same as releasing the feature, which happens when the flag is removed.

Feature Flag events are only logged by default for feature flags marked for the current or future milestones. To enable while the feature flag is active, see https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/#logging

Rollout

Run all production /chatops in #production and cross-post the results to #<slack-channel-of-dri-team>. Background: incremental rollout process, feature actors.

Non-production

/chatops gitlab run feature set duo_chat_goal_command 50 --actors --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref
/chatops gitlab run feature set duo_chat_goal_command true --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref

Production — percentage rollout (wait ≥15 min between steps, watch dashboards):

/chatops gitlab run feature set duo_chat_goal_command <percentage> --actors

Or target specific actors instead:

/chatops gitlab run feature set --project=gitlab-org/gitlab,gitlab-org/gitlab-foss duo_chat_goal_command true
/chatops gitlab run feature set --group=gitlab-org,gitlab-com duo_chat_goal_command true
/chatops gitlab run feature set --user=<gitlab-username-of-dri> duo_chat_goal_command true

Before global rollout

Confirm the relevant gotchas before going to 100% — see enabling a feature for GitLab.com:

• Docs + version history updated
• Breaking changes announced, if any
• Change management issue opened, if required
• External API consumers handled with a fail-open mechanism, if applicable

Cleanup

Remove the flag once deemed stable — see cleaning up. Track it here, or open a follow-up Feature Flag Cleanup issue. Remove the flag and its YAML definition from the codebase, then:

/chatops gitlab run release check <merge-request-url> <milestone>
/chatops gitlab run feature delete duo_chat_goal_command --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref --production

Rollback

/chatops gitlab run feature set duo_chat_goal_command false                                         # production
/chatops gitlab run feature set duo_chat_goal_command false --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref     # non-production
/chatops gitlab run feature delete duo_chat_goal_command --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref --production  # remove entirely
