Provenance Record

Clear, well-structured News piece (567 words, within the 400-1200 News range). Sections map cleanly to the release's headline features (HDR, AreaLight3D, Asset Store, tooling, new platforms, scale), with an honest 'What We Don't Know' section flagging the absence of benchmarks and a firm Steam Frame ship date.

All 5 source snapshots read from disk and verified. source-1 (github.com/godotengine/godot/releases): confirmed the '4.7-stable' tag dated '18 Jun' with asset timestamp 2026-06-18T12:06:18Z, and the 'feature release improving upon... preserve compatibility' quote verbatim (Rule 9 GitHub release-tag date satisfied). source-0 (godotengine.org/releases/4.7/): verified 'Lights, Camera, Action!', the HDR-output quote and platform list, 'real-time light from a rectangle in 3D space', VirtualJoystick '3 operation modes', 'production-ready for the Steam Frame, planned to release this summer', and the contributor/PR counts ('Well over 300 contributors... totalling over 1,600 pull requests') verbatim — the counts are cited to the source that carries them. source-3 (beta-1 dev snapshot): 'posterchild for 4.7 overall', '309 contributors submitted 1265 fixes since the release of 4.6-stable', and 'wasm64 support on web builds' verbatim. source-2 (GamingOnLinux): 'brand new Asset Store has launched', DrawableTexture2D, 'Vulkan subsampled images', 'Steam Frame and Android XR support', picture-in-picture, and 'Initial touch support for Wayland on Linux' verbatim. source-4 (XDA): 'not X11', 'internally rendered lighting in HDR for a long time, but the full detail can't be seen', the AreaLight3D description, and 'TV screens, billboards' verbatim.

Every specific (release date, version tag, platform list, node names, operation modes, contributor/PR counts) traces to a cited source. No hallucinated quotes or misattributions found; counts attributed to beta-1 vs final-release pages are kept distinct and correct.

High-quality, fully-sourced release report with no factual or attribution errors. Approving as-is; the sole automated finding is an allowlist curation note, not a publishable correction.
