What

Adds docs/RELEASE_PREFLIGHT.md: the checks we run before tagging or publishing a quantus-node / runtime release.

Why

The last ship-blocker (a binary that could not sync a live chain) would have been caught by starting a new node with an empty DB. CI green is not enough.

Gates

  1. Build the candidate binary (test that artifact, nothing else)
  2. Required: fresh full sync of Heisenberg and Planck to tip
  3. Required: quantus exercise --fail-fast on a local --dev node (full suite)
  4. Warp sync if sync/checkpoint code changed
  5. try-runtime if the runtime/migrations changed

Live governance upgrade after the release exists stays in RUNTIME_UPDATE.md.

Test plan

  • Doc-only; no code change

Require a fresh-node full sync and a full `quantus exercise` run on
--dev before tagging a chain release. These would have caught the last
ship-blocker (a binary that could not sync).
