Docs-only — no src/ changes, so no version bump (per the CI-only/docs-only rule).
Audit of the v0.71.35 release against the checklist found four misses:
* README's docs/ index table was missing the docs/compliance.md row — a new
topic page unreachable from the front door (step 9: "if the release adds a
whole new topic area, add/adjust the row in the README's docs/ index table").
It was only added to docs/README.md.
* The GGUF toolchain was never documented, despite the slot's own plan calling
it out ("Risk: MSVC build variance — document the exact toolchain; keep the
llama.cpp tag pinned"). Added the exact, verified build commands + the
VS2022 component actually required, the single- vs multi-config binary
layouts, and an explicit warning never to install llama.cpp's
requirements.txt (it pins torch~=2.2.1 CPU and downgrades a CUDA torch —
the bug fixed in v0.71.35).
* docs/peft-and-efficiency.md still said "16 built-in templates" — stale as a
direct result of the 4 compliance templates (now 21).
* Stale counts CONTRIBUTING "Test Files (307 files)" -> 313 and "existing 15
templates" -> 21 (that step also still pointed at schema.py rather than the
templates/ YAML + manifest.json registry).
The documented build command and binary path are the ones actually executed
during the release validation, not idealised.
