v2026.9.0 — unpublished candidate

The signed v2026.9.0 tag triggered the release workflow on 2026-09-01, but the workflow stopped in its draft-visibility preflight. No controller image, Helm chart, kubectl plugin archive, SBOM, signature, provenance, or other release asset was built, pushed, signed, staged, or published by that run.

The immutable tag remains as release-history evidence and will not be moved or deleted. Its GitHub draft has zero attached assets and will not be published. No Krew update was triggered for this candidate; at the time, the official index remained at v2026.8.1. Do not use v2026.9.0 installation URLs or version selectors.

The preflight permission correction was first carried by the also-unpublished v2026.9.1 security candidate. The complete, remediated September product update is carried by v2026.9.2, whose product delta is measured from the last official release, v2026.8.1.
