- Maintainers normally cut releases from a `release/YYYY.M.D` branch created
from current `main`, so release validation and fixes do not block new
development on `main`
- After a release branch is cut, maintainers keep validating that branch instead
of rebasing after every new `main` commit. If validation finds a concrete
release issue, they may inspect `main` and backport only low-risk fixes that
directly address the failure.
- Stable follows a beta only after published-artifact validation passes,
including Docker and Parallels release checks for install/update coverage.
- If a beta tag has been pushed or published and needs a fix, maintainers cut
the next `-beta.N` tag instead of deleting or recreating the old beta tag
- Detailed release procedure, approvals, credentials, and recovery notes are
