Live service and updates

research draft · methodology 0.3 · September 2, 2026 · Current product line represented by the cited primary material; no facts were transferred to other modes, platforms, or regions.

The retained primary item identifies a release-related fact, but the package does not contain the complete dated release series, cadence observations, support-team boundary, and persistence evidence required by section 15.13. A positive live-service result is therefore not published.
