Refresh procedure

1. Run scripts/refresh-version-matrix.sh.
2. Re-scrape the official Kubernetes release, version-skew, deprecation, distribution, and provider pages.
3. Compare release values, defaults, feature-state labels, and upgrade instructions against this reference.
4. Record discrepancies in the project’s research reconciliation log before editing guidance.
5. Do not update a version number without its source URL, retrieval date, and support interpretation.
6. Re-run the CLI tests, skill validator, and any available disposable-cluster integration tests.

The skill intentionally excludes unsupported or unverified alpha-feature instructions from executable command guidance. A source can be listed for future research without becoming an operational recommendation.
