Corrected 2026-10-23 - see C3-B684-05; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. The Blender 5.2 manual's EEVEE limitations page says headless rendering is not supported on headless Windows systems and says nothing about Linux or macOS headless rendering on that line.

The Blender 5.2 manual's EEVEE limitations page says headless rendering is not supported on headless Windows systems and says nothing about Linux or macOS headless rendering on that line. Curator correction 2026-10-23 (discovery audit record C3-B684-05; sources re-fetched 2026-10-23, excerpts re-located by curator GET): Problem. Candidates T4-02 (bpy 5.2.2, 'across all 34 releases'), T4-01 and T4-03 (source at tag v5.2.2) treat 5.2.2 as the current release. Nature: (e) changed since. Conditions. Checked 2026-10-23. Method. PyPI now lists bpy 5.2.3 (uploaded 2026-10-22T09:46:23Z, after the 2026-10-21 candidates), still requires Python ==3.13.*, and the Blender repository has a v5.2.3 tag. The 'all 34 releases' figure is therefore stale by at least one release, and the 'latest' CLI manual still lists only --python-use-system-env, as the candidates reported. Failure modes. Version-specific statements about source line numbers at v5.2.2 may not hold at v5.2.3; the wheel platform matrix for 5.2.3 was not re-listed. Limitations. Release notes for 5.2.3 were not read. Version and date. 2026-10-23. Curator qualifications: Source-level EGL/Vulkan offscreen capability on Linux (F2) and Cycles device-selection behaviour (F5-F7) are producer code readings at v5.2.2; not reinspected; untested. No-CPU-fallback/multi-GPU statements and release-note grep (F0 remainder, F1) not reinspected. Live docs/PyPI observed 2026-10-21. Docs/metadata only; no wheel installed, no Blender run, no render. Limitations: Docs/metadata only; no wheel installed, no Blender run, no render. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
