No, in Catalyst, actions you perform from the Catalyst CLI or the APIs, including `catalyst deploy` and Catalyst Pipelines jobs that run it, reach only the Development environment. Deployments from Development to Production are made in the Catalyst console, and Catalyst doesn't provide a CLI command, public API or status API to start or track them.

You can automate everything up to that step:
1. Deploy to Development from your pipeline with `catalyst deploy`, using a Catalyst CLI token (`--token`) and the `--project` and `--org` options.
2. Run your checks against the Development URLs.
3. In the console, open **Settings** → **Environments** → **Deployments**, click **Create Deployment**, enter a commit message, choose Development to Production, select the features, review the diff and click **Begin Deployment**. For the first deployment, click **Deploy to Production** instead.

Each deployment is listed in the **Deployments** tab with its details, which you can keep as the record of what was promoted and when. Note: Production needs a payment method on the account, and every service you use must have been opened once in the console with **Start Exploring**.

Refer to the [Deploying Features after the First Time help page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/deployment-and-billing/environments/subsequent-deployment/) for details.
