🚀 Browser4 v4.13.13 Release Notes

Release Date: 2026-09-05 11:05:17 UTC
Java Version: 17+
Built by: @platonai

chore(coworker): archive resolved v4.13.13 release-failure task

Archive the task record for release.yml run 33959789469 (tag v4.13.13),
whose three runtime-bundle jobs (macOS ARM64, Windows x64, Linux x64)
failed at the jlink step with "Error: directory". This commit only records
the investigation as done under coworker/tasks/3done — it is a task-tracker
artifact with no source-code or documentation changes.
