[philipgreat]

Retrospective notice

Created after publication. Keep open until release evidence gaps are repaired.

Affected releases

1.527-RELEASE through 1.536-RELEASE, including the intermediate runtime, telemetry, checker, and ID-generator releases actually published in this period.

Known gaps

• No issue-first release record for each release.
• Release notes and compatibility summaries are incomplete.
• Signed tag and clean-consumer evidence are not consistently linked.
• Generator adoption and conformance evidence are distributed across repositories.

Recovery checklist

• Inventory exact published versions and release commits.
• Add human-readable release notes and vulnerability statements.
• Verify/publish cryptographically signed tags where evidence permits.
• Link Maven clean-consumer, CI, generator adoption, and conformance results.
• Record unrecoverable gaps explicitly without inventing evidence.
