RELEASE_PROCESS.md §4 owes a STATUS.md refresh after every release.

What was stale

said actual
release "In preparation: v0.21.7" / "Latest: v0.21.6" v0.21.7 published 08:46:07Z
proven 70,337 98,935
frontier 70,031 96,930
spine [1..45,648] [1..79,655]
contributors 7 8
snapshot date 2026-09-15 16:58 2026-09-19 09:57

The board crossed 10% (pct 10.017) between the release and this commit.

⛔ And it now records something the release did not finish

hazync.org/verify/ still serves v0.21.6's module — 1,064,517 B, sha 344a21b9…, byte-for-byte identical to the previous release — against v0.21.7's 1,065,400 B (f66cfc1f…).

check-deployed-verifier.sh fails on exactly this:

FAIL release asset is 1065400 bytes, the deployment is 1064517
     — the site is serving something the release did not ship

The §3 browser-verifier cutover has not run, so the page a stranger reaches from the README's 30-second demo is a release behind.

Stale, not broken. The deployed module still reports the canonical guest id, verifies the live spine through block 79,666, and rejects a bit-flipped proof. Those are different problems and the doc says which one this is.

…days stale

RELEASE_PROCESS §4 owes a STATUS.md refresh after every release. It still said
'In preparation: v0.21.7' / 'Latest: v0.21.6' an hour after v0.21.7 published, and
the board snapshot was from 2026-09-15: proven 70,337 against today's 98,935,
contributors 7 against 8, spine [1..45,648] against [1..79,655].

⛔ AND IT RECORDS SOMETHING THE RELEASE DID NOT FINISH. hazync.org/verify/ still
serves v0.21.6's module — 1,064,517 B, sha 344a21b9…, byte-for-byte the previous
release — against v0.21.7's 1,065,400 B (f66cfc1f…). check-deployed-verifier.sh
fails on exactly this: 'the site is serving something the release did not ship'.
The §3 browser-verifier cutover has not run, so the page a stranger lands on from
the README's 30-second demo is a release behind.

⚠ The deployed module is STALE, not broken: it still reports the canonical guest id,
verifies the live spine through 79,666, and rejects a bit-flipped proof. Saying so
matters — 'out of date' and 'wrong' are different problems.

Board crossed 10% (pct 10.017) between the release and this commit.
