Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately describes the main change: removing an unused RELEASE_DIR reference from the Makefile, which matches the changeset modifications.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The pull request only modifies openshift/Makefile, a build configuration file with no test definitions. The custom check for stable test names applies exclusively to test code, so it is not applicable and passes.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The custom check for test structure and quality is not applicable to this pull request. The PR only modifies openshift/Makefile to remove a dead reference to RELEASE_DIR - no test files were modified.
