Claro Final Release Checklist

Before publishing Claro v1.18.26 as the current stable release:

• Build from a clean unzip on Windows.
• Build from a clean unzip on Linux or macOS.
• Run claro --version.
• Run claro test.
• Run claro validate.
• Run every lesson that does not require user input.
• Manually test examples/quiz.claro.
• Manually test examples/simple_functions.claro.
• Manually test examples/text_polish.claro.
• Confirm the README shows the Claro logo.
• Confirm docs use the v1.xx.yy version format.
• Confirm beginner docs teach simple syntax first.
• Do not add large new systems before stable v1.

Avoid adding large new systems during a stability release; prioritize buildability, tests, documentation consistency, and beginner safety.
