Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
Milestone identity
Apple’s third iOS 8.2 developer seed arrived on December 18. Its retained report separates four developer-note fixes from two Health changes observed after release.[1]
Indexed evidence
This page indexes 6 bounded occurrences. Every title and explanation is original synthesis, and each claim points to the retained evidence family that supports it.[2]
Evidence limits
WatchKit and simulator items are credited developer-note reports. The Health records are contemporary observations and therefore carry a different documentation status.[3]
Source ledger
