Get it

An installed machine takes it by itself from its channel, and starts it at its next reboot.
A new machine: the USB stick, https://dl.constructlinux.org/construct_20261008.2.raw.xz, in the signed https://dl.constructlinux.org/SHA256SUMS; how to check it and write it to a stick is the README's Install.

Every file is in SHA256SUMS, signed with the release key (release.pgp):

gpg --import release.pgp && gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMS && sha256sum -c --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS
