Superseded — go to devel-update-and-release-flow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.

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.
