Something to investigate later. The run of the Performance Testing workflow associated with the branching commit succeeded and sent a Slack notification despite the fact that nothing happened in the run: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/actions/runs/23652026977/job/68899142469.

In 62166:

Build/Test Tools: Add 7.0-RC2 to upgrade testing workflows.

Since this workflow tests based on tagged versions available through WP-CLI, the pre-release versions need to be used.

Follow up to [62160].

See #64966.

#12 @desrosj

All of the post branching tasks have been completed. However, there is one more update required.

I've added 7.0-RC2 to the upgrade/update testing workflows. Because the version needs to be available to WP-CLI and not the branch in wordpress-develop, this will have to do for now.

After the final 7.0 release, this will need to be updated and the 6.8 branch should be trimmed where only the 2 most recent branches are tested.
