Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Release identity

This article enriches the existing macOS 26.1 Beta 2 route dated 2025-10-06. It does not alter the audited timeline date or create a second event.[1]

Sequential archive comparison

The before and after payloads preserve different Apple note states around macOS 26.1 Beta 2. The first state contains one Game Controller item. The next state identifies itself as Beta 2 and adds two resolved Game Controller issues.[2][3]

Documented Beta 2 delta

The structured comparison yields 2 substantive items. Each occurrence retains the Apple component, status heading, and issue-number locator used during review.[2][3]

Attribution boundary

The after payload was captured on the Beta 3 calendar date but still identifies itself as Beta 2. The two additions are therefore title-anchored to the retained Beta 2 documentation state; the ledger does not claim a precise release-hour boundary.[2][3]
