Higher feature-band source builds can fail when inputs are selected by recency rather than by the versions configured in the VMR revision being built. This clarifies how distro maintainers should interpret lifecycle-relative "current" and "previous" inputs while reproducing a specific branch, tag, or commit. It also provides guidance on cross-build scenarios.
