Record the user-reported Arch X11 validation pass and thread it through the portable and runtime validation matrices.
Adjust the milestone 2 and 3 closeout wording so one fully validated representative distro family is enough for now, while keeping Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and openSUSE coverage as an explicit milestone 5 GA signoff requirement.
Update the roadmap and GA validation rollup to mark milestones 2 and 3 complete for now rather than fully GA-complete, and archive the raw Arch evidence in user-readiness/1773357669.md.
Validation: documentation consistency review only; no code or behavior changes were made.
Add the repo-side pieces for milestone 5: MIT licensing, real maintainer and forge metadata, a public support doc, 1.0.0 release notes, release-prep tooling, and CI uploads for the full candidate artifact set.
Keep source-tree version surfaces honest by reading the local project version in the CLI and About dialog, and cover the new release-prep plus version-fallback behavior with focused tests.
Document where raw validation evidence belongs, add the GA validation rollup, and archive the latest readiness review. Milestone 5 remains open until the forge release page is published and the milestone 2 and 3 matrices are filled with linked manual evidence.
