We are going to reset the release branch, to bring in critical fixes that went into main, and then tag a new beta. We are still chasing a few blockers tracked on the project board. The flight test team will continue to test the latest v1.16 beta.

Bug report / Q&A
1- Question regarding metadata updates on documentation:
When docs where hosted on its own repo we had an autocommit bot that moved metadata between repos. Now that we are all-in place, we need to work on a non-intrusive way to make this happen.
It was discussed that we do the following:
- Have a test that fails when missing metadata updates. Also warns users this happened and gives instructions on what to do.
- Create a script that can be run locally that makes the changes
2- @dakejahl thread reply to be discussed!
