Updates and compatibility

Current Discourse installations follow main. Maintained older releases can follow d-compat/<YYYY>.<M> branches through Discourse’s normal remote-theme updater.

Brand Navigation has recorded manual, automated, and native-update evidence across Discourse 2026.7 ESR, 2026.8, and 2026.9 installations. These records are evidence points—not a declared minimum version and not a claim that every feature was tested on every site.

Review exact builds, commits, refs, contexts, and open checks in the canonical testing record.
