Ryax 26.10.0 release
Tracking issue for the **Ryax 26.10.0** release. The process is the [release how-to](https://gitlab.com/groups/ryax-tech/-/wikis/3-Release/howto-release).
Every row below is delivered by MRs merged since **26.9.0** (2026-09-10), into a service's `master` or into `ryax-engine`'s `release-26.10.0` branch. **RC** is the first release candidate that contains the change; *next* means merged but not in an RC yet.

## Release candidates
Built from `release-26.10.0`. Multi-arch images on `docker.io/ryaxtech` and `registry.ryax.org/release`; charts `ryax-engine`, `ryax-worker-k8s` and `ryax-worker-slurm-ssh` in `oci://registry.ryax.org/release-charts`.
| RC | Tagged | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| rc0 | 2026-10-06 | Not deployed: arm64 builds timed out on CI defaults, fixed by `ci_common` 8.3.0. |
| rc1 | 2026-10-06 | Staging: the new broker blocked every publisher (default free-disk limit above its volume). |
| rc2 | 2026-10-06 | Staging OK. The worker's PostgreSQL was OOM-killed draining the backlog (#1477). |
| rc3 | 2026-10-23 | Staging: found #1481, #1482, #1483. |
| rc4 | 2026-10-26 | Staging OK, #1481 and #1482 confirmed fixed. |
| rc5 | 2026-10-26 | Staging: found #1485. |
| rc6 | 2026-10-26 | Brings the #1485 fix. |
| rc7 | 2026-10-29 | Brings #1477 (worker), #1483, #1490, #1491. Staging OK: every Ryax image on rc7, queues drained, node pool `architecture` lowercase, archived pool answers 404, two "Run once" deploys in a row both completed and stopped gracefully. |
| **26.10.0** | 2026-10-29 | Tagged from the rc7 commits. |
Staging is backed up with `pg_dumpall` before each upgrade (`backups/pre-<version>.sql.gz` on the datastore volume). MinIO and the old broker volume are decommissioned, so a rollback to 26.9.0 needs the database dump plus a filestore backup.
## Remaining before 26.10.0
- [x] Bump core and front for ryax-tech/ryax/ryax-core!527, ryax-tech/ryax/ryax-core!528 and ryax-tech/ryax/ryax-front!185 (#1483, #1477), cut the next RC, deploy it on staging, and rerun the node pool recipes and a "Run once" followed by a redeploy.
- [x] #1492 (archiving a node pool and pinned actions) postponed to a later release; RELEASE.md describes the current behaviour and the order to follow. #1493 (worker falls back to its first pool), #1494 (memory field message) and #1495 (`GET /sites/{id}` lists archived node pools) also come later.
- [ ] Merge ryax-tech/ryax/ryax-engine!104 (CI only).
- [x] Test the local install from the README (k3s, minimal values, worker registration): done 2026-10-29 on rc7 with `docker compose`. Engine in 9 min, worker, default-actions built, a "Run once" → "Print Environment" workflow completed. The README's node pool API example was rejected with a 422 (no `architecture`, old `gpu` field); fixed on `release-26.10.0` (8931a69).
- [x] Cut `26.10.0`: done 2026-10-29.
- [x] Merge `release-26.10.0` into `master`: ryax-tech/ryax/ryax-engine!103 merged 2026-10-29 as a merge commit (7640e6e); `git describe origin/master` gives `26.10.0-3-g7640e6e`. #1462 did not close by itself.
- [x] GitLab and GitHub releases: https://gitlab.com/ryax-tech/ryax/ryax-engine/-/releases/26.10.0, https://github.com/RyaxTech/ryax-engine/releases/tag/26.10.0
- [ ] Announcements (Cliq, Discord, Slack).
