Summary

Align the Aspire 13.6 release notes with earlier releases:

  • Set the release date to September 29, 2026.
  • Add the shared community section with the core-team roster and contributor acknowledgements.
  • Preserve individual contribution highlights and the existing community-contributions anchor.
  • Add 13.6 contributor data and register the release in the contributor update script.
  • Remove outdated contributor and pull-request totals.

Contributor credits are a pre-release snapshot from GitHub-generated notes since v13.5.0. Refresh the list when the 13.6 release tag is finalized.

Third-party links and affiliations

Adds contributor GitHub profile links through the existing shared component. No new third-party products or services are promoted.

Validation

  • Seven focused contributor parser, data, and component-render tests passed.
  • Verified the local page renders the release date, core-team roster, contributor acknowledgements, and preserved anchor.
  • git diff --check passed.

## Summary

Prepare the Aspire 13.6 documentation release. The release article is
reconciled against [`microsoft/aspire` release/13.6 at
`a11eca9611073f7cf66fa87faac63c2119e87713`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/tree/a11eca9611073f7cf66fa87faac63c2119e87713),
compared with `v13.5.0`. The inventory contains 402 first-parent history
entries, including maintenance, merges, and reversions—not 402 distinct
shipped features.

Highlights cover dashboard persistence/run history and terminals; Java,
Rust, Connector Namespace and Sandboxes; coordinated .NET builds; CLI
and VS Code workflows; deployment and integration improvements; emulator
images; and migration guidance for Cosmos DB, Front Door,
connection-string aliases, and terminal namespaces.

### Published documentation and ingestion work

- `94b5f0c19`: migrate Java guides from Toolkit to first-party hosting,
document typed Azure provisioning customization and VS Code agent
lifecycle tools, and refresh 34 container-image records from the pinned
release source. Default tag changes: App Configuration `1.0.2 → 1.2.0`,
Cosmos DB `stable → vnext-latest`.
- `27e2db77a`: exact release-version selection, ATS-only package
metadata, union and canonical SDK enum handling, empty C# navigation
filtering, and fail-closed handling of SDK dump errors.
- `0b64558c1`: reconcile all 29 contributors against the pinned release
snapshot.
- `2696e2207`: recognize const-object enum declarations, retain
colliding enum-name literals in the shared Twoslash bundle while
preserving exact package-specific JSON, and increase the full
example-audit time budget for the larger dataset.
- `7ab5f74bd`: include the exact Dotnet package as supporting scan
context for Radius's generic .NET program export; subtract
core/supporting modules without dropping Radius's real IDs or receiver
targets.
- **`44b9819bb`: publish the complete, validated 13.6 catalog, mappings,
C#/TypeScript API data, and Twoslash bundle together.**
- Concurrent release updates are preserved, including the environment
badge and #1745's agent lifecycle options. Isolation/launch-profile
inputs were confirmed in the pinned 13.6 source.
- Related product changes: microsoft/aspire#18033,
microsoft/aspire#19675, and microsoft/aspire#19134.

The maintainer-set planned release date remains September 29, 2026
(#1690). Published package constants remain separate from prerelease
ingestion. Release membership comes from product source, not merely a
docs PR's target; #1740 documents microsoft/aspire#20231 (14.0), not a
13.6 feature.

### Generated data and provenance

The published snapshot contains **217 catalog entries**, **161
documentation mappings** (including the 26 new mappings), **210 C#
records**, **146 TypeScript modules**, and the rebuilt Twoslash bundle.
There are 132 official packages at exact version
`13.6.0-preview.1.26473.12`, with **no 14.x imports**. Independently
versioned packages retain their selected catalog versions.

Generation used genuine pinned packages from the public dotnet9 feed and
an isolated, locally built **13.6** CLI/RemoteHost. Package provenance
remains `a11eca9611073f7cf66fa87faac63c2119e87713`; the scanner fixes
are separate development-build provenance, not a claim that an official
corrected CLI has shipped.

- Full TypeScript ingestion with the inherited-method fix
(`320eed42f85a7d4b090a9429b98c7a6a8547a4b8`) produced 146 modules, 0
failures, and 7 explicit skips.
- Core/Radius regeneration with the additional target-specificity fix
(`435fd4eb7d06ef99702ae5106cf01c10f5c6a780`) succeeded. The real
compound Radius + exact Dotnet SDK dump has no diagnostics and retains
both `withContainerImage` and `withDotnetProgramContainerImage`
capability IDs.
- ProjectResource/CSharpAppResource use the concrete Radius export;
DotnetProjectResource uses the generic export. Dotnet's APIs are not
attributed to Radius. No source-package attributes, capability
identities, or missing-export checks were altered to force validation
through.

## Third-party links and affiliations

- Radius documentation — no material affiliation.
- Source/specification links remain within `microsoft/aspire`; Java
debugger links point to the corresponding Visual Studio Marketplace
extensions. No new material affiliation claims.

## Validation

- All **25 authored TypeScript guide/release examples** pass against the
final declaration bundle; guide samples were also compiled with the
genuine generated SDK.
- The **complete annotated-site Twoslash audit passes**, with no
diagnostic suppression.
- Final semantic validation passes: 217 package identities, 146
module-provenance matches, 74 DTO shapes, and 2,873 handle inheritance
chains.
- **82 structured-data tests**, **75
API-reference/declaration-generator/API-route tests**, and **17 ATS
transformer tests** pass. The final API-reference gate resolves the
Radius exports without exceptions or aliases.
- Earlier compile-only C# validation covered 24 guide methods and one
type declaration without warnings or errors. Browser checks covered
Java, Azure customization, VS Code and AI-agent routes and language
tabs.
- Source scanner/dispatcher/context-filter/API-export regressions: **215
pass on each product branch**, including exact-package dispatch and
generated-SDK compilation checks.
- No local production site build, cloud deployment, destructive cleanup
scenario, CLI self-update, or release workflow was run. Current-head CI
must still complete after the latest pushes.

## Remaining release gates

- **Main scanner fix: microsoft/aspire#20438**, ready for review, latest
commit `5482164dc1225f3c2a1a93bf5055e11b720117e9`. **13.6 backport:
microsoft/aspire#20443**, draft, latest commit
`435fd4eb7d06ef99702ae5106cf01c10f5c6a780`. Both require human
review/merge; neither has been merged or released by this session.
Latest-commit CI is still being monitored.
- Official shipping requires the corrected RemoteHost-containing
CLI/bundle. Rebuilding Network or Radius alone is insufficient. Local
documentation generation does not replace that packaging gate.
- The Express diagnostic short link requires owner action:
#1599 (comment).
- Complete current-head docs CI and final release/runtime acceptance.
Keep this PR draft until the release gates are satisfied.
