SalahOS v1.6.2

SalahOS v1.6.2 release notes

SalahOS v1.6.2 is a focused Qur’an editorial and governance update following the expanded Muhkam/Mutashabih review of the SalahOS 2026 English-meaning layer. It incorporates the reconciled project-guide treatment now on main while preserving explicit disclosure that independent qualified scholarly review is still pending.

Release status: v1.6.2 is published as a project-owner-authorized prerelease while independent qualified whole-corpus scholarly review remains pending. This release status is not scholarly certification, and no pending review row has been converted into an approval.

Qur’an Muhkam/Mutashabih reconciliation

• Maintains 143 translation-risk verses under the supplied Muhkam/Mutashabih and tanzīh review policy.
• Maintains a 147-row review register: 143 trigger verses plus four governing Muhkam foundations.
• Gives every maintained trigger an explicit SalahOS 2026 English meaning instead of silently falling back to the Pickthall baseline.
• Applies direct non-corporeal contextual taʾwīl to all seven Qur’anic istiwāʾ-over-the-Throne passages, using absolute dominion/subjugation wording and explicitly rejecting sitting, place, direction, movement and bodily modality.
• Retains the project-guide treatments for expressions including wajh, yad, sāq, nūr, maʿiyyah, fawqiyyah and related translation-risk language without turning verse-specific taʾwīl into global lexical replacement.
• Includes the ru’yah pair 6:103 and 75:23, preserving the distinction between non-encompassment and the believers’ seeing Allah in the Hereafter without direction or modality.
• Includes the later need/dependency/transaction idiom pass so expressions such as lending to Allah, helping Allah and commercial imagery do not imply divine need, dependence or gain from deficiency.

Review and provenance status

• All generated review rows remain status: pending-scholar-review with reviewer: null.
• The 2026-09-09 project-owner whole-corpus record remains an editorial/release attestation only, not independent qualified scholarly approval.
• The v1.6.2 release authorization is exact-version and prerelease-only while qualifiedScholarReviewStatus remains pending.
• Stable publication remains gated on independent qualified scholarly approval unless the project policy is explicitly revised with equivalent transparent provenance.

Quality and release engineering

• Synchronises npm/package-lock to 1.6.2, Android to versionCode 13 / versionName 1.6.2, and iOS to build 13 / marketing version 1.6.2.
• Retains formatting, lint, typecheck, unit/coverage, Qur’an integrity/governance, dependency/security, mosque reproducibility, production-build and bundle-budget checks.
• Retains permanent Quality, Visual Regression, Android emulator lifecycle, iPhone/iPad Simulator and Windows executable workflows.
• Keeps publication tied to the exact current main revision, persistent Android signing, archive integrity, exact final file-set verification and SHA-256 verification.

Distribution boundaries

A consumer iOS/iPadOS .ipa is not included because Apple distribution signing/provisioning is not configured. The iOS build remains covered by the repository’s iPhone/iPad Simulator validation workflow. No native macOS .dmg is included because SalahOS has no native macOS target.

Physical Android/iOS device acceptance remains a separately tracked hardware-validation item; emulator, Simulator and browser evidence are not represented as physical-device testing.
