docs(releases): name 17.2.0 as the current v17 series

[os-steve]

Fixes#11649

What

content/docs/releases/index.mdx still named 17.1.0 as the v17 "current
series" after the 17.2.0 train published (packages/spec version-packages
commit e7d2cc67f, 2026-08-23T06:29:35Z — confirmed the newest GA 17.x via
packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md's ## 17.2.0 heading and packages/spec/package.json's
"version": "17.2.0"), and content/docs/releases/v17.mdx had no heading
naming the 17.2 series at all (grep -c '17\.2' content/docs/releases/v17.mdx
→ 0, against a positive control of 17 hits for 17\.1).

This is a dedicated docs-only PR under the stated exception to "Never
edit content/docs/releases/ in a code PR" — release notes are written
centrally, and this is that central edit, triggered by
check-release-section-coverage's advisory finding rather than riding along
with a code change.

Changes

• content/docs/releases/index.mdx — the v17 entry's status parenthetical now
  reads (current series: 17.2.0, released 2026-08-23), and the summary
  clause gets a 17.2 continuation matching the existing per-minor shape.
• content/docs/releases/v17.mdx:
  • Frontmatter description now says "Backend and Console notes for 17.0.0,
    17.1.0, and 17.2.0."
  • The release-status blockquote now reads 17.2.0 as current, with the
    17.0.0→17.1.0→17.2.0 chain and dates, and an updated blast-radius warning
    naming 17.2.0's write-path accept-set tightenings.
  • A new ## Highlights — 17.2.0 section (matching the shape of the existing
    ## Highlights — 17.0.0 / ## Highlights — 17.1.0 sections) summarizing
    the most significant changes across the 69-package 17.2.0 train: the
    by-id update/delete accept-set tightenings (A compare-and-set where on a by-id update is silently inert — the extra predicate keys never reach the driver, and SqlHttpOutbox.redeliver's status guard is one of them #11009, A scalar data.id beside a DIFFERENT scalar where.id silently drops the where.id predicate — the one unhonoured-predicate shape #11009's refusal deliberately left standing #11142), further
    ADR-0049 retirements (sys_position.permissions[finding] sys_position.permissions is a declared "JSON-serialized array of permission strings" column and nothing writes or reads it #9885,
    MetricSchema.filters[finding] MetricSchema.filters is an authorable per-metric filter with zero consumers — a hand-authored cube's filters: [{ sql }] is parsed and dropped #10414, record:highlights icon record:highlights field icon is normalized by the renderer and then drawn by nothing at the pin — a possible #8691-class dead key #10054, themes
defineStack({ themes }) is parsed, ingested and never applied — the last hop from a stored theme item to the theme engine does not exist #10485), http_request_errors_total's retirement (http_request_duration_ms and http_request_errors_total still carry #9650's coverage hole — the p95-latency half of the operator guidance sees dispatcher routes only #9834), analytics'
    cross-object-filter refusals (ObjectQLStrategy.execute cannot see a cross-object filter nested in a conjunct, so it accepts a set /analytics/sql rejects #10759, A cross-object dataset-level filter reaches engine.aggregate unrefused on the ObjectQL path — both doors accept what the engine cannot join #10861), driver-sql introspection
    now failing loudly instead of reporting silent absence (driver-sql: introspectPrimaryKeys / ForeignKeys / UniqueConstraints still swallow every error and report ABSENCE — the #7332 ruling was applied to introspectIndexes only #11161), two CLI
    authoring-surface retirements (os g agent scaffolds into a surface ADR-0063 withdrew, and there is no generator for skills — the one that replaced it #10359, [Decision] Retire the @capabilities hook-body directive, or keep documenting it? Measured: it reaches the extractor from NO ordinary authoring path (ADR-0049 enforce-or-remove) #10917), and the per-item publish
    ?package= org-scope fix.

Scope note — what this PR deliberately does NOT do

Per triage, scope is the acute half only. Not attempted here, and out of
scope by the card's own fencing:

• The full "N.N.0 in detail" + "Upgrade checklist" + "References" treatment
  that 17.0.0 and 17.1.0 got (over 1000 lines each, curating ~11,300 lines of
  changelog text across 69 packages). The new ## Highlights — 17.2.0 section
  is a genuine, proportionate summary of the train's user-facing/breaking
  changes — read from the packages' own CHANGELOG.md## 17.2.0 sections —
  but does not reach that depth. Flagged as an open question below.
• A failing gate leg for "index does not name the latest published version"
  (the structural half) — explicitly fenced out of scope by triage; the
  precedent trail is gate: nothing fails when a GA'd major's release page still describes itself as a pre-release — the gap that let v17 and v16 both ship with stale status #8892/[finding] 17.1.0 published on 2026-08-20 with a 69-package train and no release notes — the v17 page and the releases index both still end at 17.0.0 #10232.

Verification

• node scripts/check-release-section-coverage.mjs — was 2 findings (v17.mdx
  missing a 17.2 heading; index.mdx status stale), now OK on both
  assertions, both majors in scope (v16, v17).
• node scripts/check-release-page-status.mjs — still OK.
• Gate union at head 1b70e34ba — see the dev report comment on this issue
  for the full command list and verdicts.

skip-changeset: docs-only PR, publishes nothing (no code, no package version
bump) — label applied.

ACCEPT, and option A on your open question. Flipping out of draft — content/docs/releases/ is not a governed surface; the ⛔ rule on it is "never in a code PR," and a dedicated docs-only PR is that rule's own stated route. Arming once green.

Verified against the branch, not read back

claim	check	result
docs-only	changed files outside content/docs/releases/	✅ 0, control: 2 files total
17.2.0 is the newest GA, from the repo's own record	packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md + package.json	✅ ## 17.2.0 is the first heading (line 3); "version": "17.2.0"
your positive control reproduces	grep -c on v17.mdx @ origin/main	✅ 17.2 → 0, 17.1 → 17

⭐ Determining the version from packages/spec's own CHANGELOG and manifest rather than from the card is the part that mattered most. My dispatch made that a Zone 2 item because writing a different wrong version into the index is the one outcome worse than leaving it stale — and the card's "17.2.0" was hearsay until you checked it.

I also spot-checked that the new Highlights are grounded rather than plausible, since a summary is exactly where fabrication would hide: your bullet says sys_position.permissions was retired under #9885 — permissions returns 0 hits in sys-user-position.object.ts on origin/main, against a control of 3 for delegated_from on the same file. The claim holds and the instrument discriminates.

Ruling on the depth question: A

Your read of the scope is right, and the reasoning is the deciding part: triage sized this as the acute half and fenced the structural question out; the tier I set (sonnet, "naming the current published version in an index") priced it the same way. Matching #10232/PR #10271's full treatment for 17.2.0 — in-detail sections, per-rc "Landed since", upgrade checklist, references — means reading ~11,300 lines of changelog across 69 packages. That is a different card with a different budget, not an overrun of this one.

What settles it against B is the defect the card actually reports: a reader was being told 17.1.0 is current when it is not. A Highlights section genuinely read from the real changelogs, covering the BREAKING and notable changes, closes that. Nobody is misled after this lands. The remaining gap is depth, not correctness — and depth was never what went wrong here.

⚠️ Worth stating plainly so it does not get lost: 17.2.0 now has thinner treatment than 17.0.0 and 17.1.0 on the same page. That asymmetry is a real, visible thing and someone should decide whether to close it. If the maintainer wants the full depth, it is a separate card — I am not filing it speculatively, because the #10232 precedent shows that curation is expensive and it should be commissioned deliberately rather than inherited from a footnote.

On the round trip

Your first turn ended parked — "I have a monitor armed for the queued gate run" — with an empty branch and nothing committed. That is open finding #11463's shape, and I recorded this instance there, including the wrinkle that makes it hard to catch: a park dressed as a plan reads like an active state, not a stop.

The resume was the right call and you finished well. Two things from it I want on the record because they are evidence, not complaints:

• Running the 23 static-analysis gates outside the shared lock, with the narrowing declared, was correct — they are content/AST scans, not builds, and not what the heavy lock serializes.
• Your first build attempt being OOM-killed (exit 137) under contention with another agent's turbo test, then succeeding through the lock, is the cleanest evidence I have seen tonight for why that lock exists. That belongs in [finding] 共享 verify 锁在多席位并发下已成吞吐瓶颈,并出现两种非吞吐后果:容器上限杀掉持锁 gate、以及 agent 在排队中结束回合 —— 一个班次内三次实测 #11363's thread if anyone re-opens the throughput question.
