# RELEASE_NOT_CONFIRMED

**What it means.** A store release costs money, so it needs the amount confirmed before it starts.

**What to do.** Call estimate_release first, show the person the exact amount it returns, and only after they agree call release again passing that quote_id and the same confirm_cents. Never guess the number.

- Retryable after applying the fix: yes

Every failure from the CLI or an MCP tool has this shape:

```json
{
  "ok": false,
  "code": "RELEASE_NOT_CONFIRMED",
  "message": "A store release costs money, so it needs the amount confirmed before it starts.",
  "fix": "Call estimate_release first, show the person the exact amount it returns, and only after they agree call release again passing that quote_id and the same confirm_cents. Never guess the number.",
  "file": "<where to edit, when known>",
  "retryable": true,
  "docs": "https://docs.uarpie.app/errors/RELEASE_NOT_CONFIRMED"
}
```

Apply `fix` (edit `file` when it is given), then run the same command again.
