What

Two fixes to documentation/versions-and-deploys.md:

  • Creating the next RC branch: the release changeset must be minor, not major. Versions are calver, so a major bump rolls the year when the stable branch exits pre mode (2026.10.0-rc.N → 2027.0.0). This bit 2026-07 (Version Packages (2026-07) #4571, fixed by hand) and 2026-10 ([2026-10] Release 2026-10 as a minor, not major #4748); the 2027-01-rc cut (ee50e20) already used minor.
  • Creating new stable versions: the manual latest dist-tag request goes to #ai-operations-oncall, not #help-eng-infrastructure. Infra no longer monitors that channel and redirected us there after the 2026-10 release.

This PR targets a stable release branch (2026-10). Once merged, the change typically also needs to be forward-ported to 2027-01-rc so it ships in the next release.

When you open the forward-port PR, include a line like this in its body so the needs-rc-port label gets removed automatically when that PR merges:

Forward-port of #4761

Accepted formats (comma-separated for multiple):

  • #4761
  • GH-4761
  • 4761
  • https://github.com/Shopify/ui-extensions/pull/4761

If a forward-port isn't needed (e.g., the change is stable-only), you can remove the needs-rc-port label manually.
