 ## 7. RC procedure
 
-0. **Tracker.** Run 0234 on the candidate: close fixed issues with pointers to their
-   fixes, after Ruslan approves the list.
+0. **Tracker sweep (Ruslan 2026-10-19).** Right before the freeze, scan once more through
+   every open GitHub issue, every milestone and every open PR, and draft one list of what
+   to close: issues fixed on master (with a pointer to the fix), issues and PRs that are
+   stale or no longer relevant (with a one-line reason), and milestones that are delivered
+   or superseded. Ruslan approves the list, then it is closed in one pass (0234). Until
+   this sweep, external PRs and issues are left as they are.
 1. **Freeze.** When G1-G6 are done and section 8 is decided, the steward picks a master
    commit, records its full SHA in section 1 and opens the validation window. From then
    on master takes only fixes for blocking findings; other merges wait.
