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.
