Checklist

• Push the signed RC tag at the frozen commit; confirm both release workflows and ATR upload. ATR revision 00001; ATR checks report no blockers, with 16 expected header concerns on the third-party files recorded in LICENSE, one RAT concern on .editorconfig, and one SBOM suggestion.
• Download and verify the ATR revision: signatures, checksum, source contents against the RC commit, independent archive rebuild for automated signing, build, and packaging. Revision 00001: the SHA-512 and both signatures verify, the 355 archive entries match git archive of 46972dd in contents and modes, 634 tests pass on stable and the 1.86.0 MSRV from the extracted source, the publish dry run succeeds, and a Linux rebuild of the same commit is byte-identical.
• Complete the license review of the actual source archive and Cargo distribution; address ATR findings. LICENSE, NOTICE, and DISCLAIMER are present and identical in both, no binary files are shipped, and ATR's concerns are the third-party files that keep their upstream notices plus .editorconfig.
