Superseded — go to devel-update-and-release-flow
This note covered only the verification half of a devel update. It has been folded, in full, into the end-to-end note:
→ devel-update-and-release-flow — preconditions, merge + semantic sweep, evidence-grade validation, release-ticket collection for the TjK and author outreach, release gates, and the pre-push devel re-check.
This stub is kept only so existing inbound links resolve. Do not add content here.
Where each section went
| Old section | New home |
|---|---|
| 0. Before you fetch — check the refspec | [[devel-update-and-release-flow#0.3 Check remote.origin.fetch — before anything else|Phase 0.3]] + Gotchas |
| 1. Check devel’s REMOVALS first | Phase 1.4 (a) and (c) |
2. Resolve every relative require under customization/ | Phase 1.4 (b) |
| 3. Classify every failure with a base-commit worktree | Phase 2.2 — corrected: the base worktree needs its own yarn install, never a symlinked node_modules |
| 4. Run suspect suites isolated, and repeatedly | Phase 2.3 |
| 5. Get the Node version right | Phase 2.1 |
| 6. Work out what CI newly turns on | Phase 2.6 |
| Local gate checklist | Phase 2.7 |
Everything after validation — Phase 3 release-ticket collection, Phase 4 release gates, Phase 5 the pre-push devel re-check — is new material that never existed here.
