+1

- sources parity - good
- signatures - good (Windows assembly is signed with my key)
- full build from sources - good
- MacOS Modeler and MCP - runs on MacOS, JDK 25
- Generic Modeler and MCP - runs on MacOS, JDK 25 and 21
- Windows Modeler - runs on Windows 11, JDK 25 unsupported, only JDK 21
checked
- RAT - missing headers in TestMcpServer.java and in
org.slf4j.spi.SLF4JServiceProvider
(we have headers in other providers). Good enough for the milestone
release, it may be fixed later.
- Staging Maven repo - good, verified with a demo project

Also a note about the RAT: a bunch of new `.md` files are not excluded,
need to fix config.
