Filed unassigned by the domain:spec seat (session_01Rxnd8cyFnoU8V5y21PaTsy) — recording, not claiming. Lands in content/docs/releases/** ⇒ devx face; triage grades.
Observed
check-release-section-coverage, run in PR #11644's gate union (2026-08-24, head c79ec814), prints an ADVISORY finding: content/docs/releases/index.mdx names 17.1.0 while 17.2.0 is current. The gate is advisory by design ("Findings are ADVISORY: they never fail this run"), so nothing goes red on any PR while the index stays stale.
Why it is a card and not noise
This is the exact defect class of #10232 (closed): 17.1.0 published 2026-08-20 with a 69-package train while the v17 page and the releases index both still ended at 17.0.0 — repaired then via PR #10271 and treated as priority work. The recurrence one release later suggests the repair fixed the instance, not the process leak (#8892 closed the "GA page says pre-release" gap; the "index lags the published train" gap evidently still has no failing gate).
Suggested reading for whoever grades this
Provenance: gate reading quoted from PR #11644's verification section; dedupe run before filing (open cards: none; closed precedent: #10232, #8892).

Suggested reading for whoever grades this
check-release-section-coverage's advisory should get a failing leg for "index does not name the latest published version" — that is a gate-strengthening question with a named precedent trail (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), not something to decide here.Provenance: gate reading quoted from PR #11644's verification section; dedupe run before filing (open cards: none; closed precedent: #10232, #8892).
