[repo-status] Daily repo status — September 18, 2026

Daily snapshot

Activity reviewed from September 17 through September 18, 2026 (02:40 UTC). The repo is moving briskly across release preparation, runtime trimming, platform fixes, and test reliability.

Highlights

• Release flow is active: #38642 advances net11.0 into the .NET 11 RC2 release branch, while #38645 and #38646 refresh Android, macOS/iOS, and .NET dependencies for RC1 and net11.0.
• Quality and reliability improved: recently merged work includes Android AppBar GC-pressure protection (#38636), Mac Catalyst ScrollView UI-test stabilization (#38621 and #38629), iOS CollectionView measurement fixes (#38338), modal navigation lifecycle fixes (#38402), and stronger integration-test diagnostics (#38575).
• Linker and app-size work is progressing: #38613, #38616, and #38630 focus on trimming unused XAML/Aspire paths and preserving attributed handler constructors.
• Developer tooling advanced: #38040 hardened the MAUI Copilot reviewer and skill validation, while #38640 is consolidating test-failure review guidance.
• Three commits landed on main during the reporting window. The latest is the Copilot reviewer hardening from #38040.

Project status

Overall: healthy momentum, with release coordination as the near-term focus. The latest published builds remain .NET MAUI 11.0.100 RC1 and stable 10.0.101; no newer release was published in this window.

The active PR queue spans RC branch synchronization, dependency flow, platform lifecycle work, and trimming. #38601 is especially notable as a p/0 iOS/Mac Catalyst scene-lifecycle and AppActions change. #36435 remains an active known-build-error watch item for CoreCLR iOS/Mac Catalyst device tests.

No verified GitHub Discussions update was available in today’s read feed, so this report does not infer discussion activity.

Recommended next steps

1. Prioritize release-path reviews: validate #38642, #38645, and #38646 together so RC2 synchronization and dependency updates stay coherent.
2. Move the p/0 lifecycle work forward: complete final review and validation for #38601.
3. Unblock test confidence: follow up on PRs carrying agent gate-failed or changes-requested signals, especially #38615, before expanding the release delta.
4. Keep trimming work coordinated: review #38613, #38616, and #38630 as a related app-size/runtime-safety cluster to avoid overlapping assumptions.

Great progress across release engineering, platform stability, and tooling—thank you to everyone pushing these threads forward!
