**Related issue:** N/A — internal update to the release-QA issue
template
# Description
Updates the **Release QA** issue template
(`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/release-qa.md`) to match current product group
naming and to tighten the release-critical issue gate.
Changes:
- **Renamed product group sections** to match the working-group names in
`handbook/company/product-groups.md`: **MDM → Apple at Work** and
**Software → Auto Patching**.
- **Moved OS updates and disk encryption checks** out of Security &
Compliance to the platform-owning groups:
- macOS OS updates + disk encryption → **Apple at Work**
- Windows OS updates + disk encryption → **Power to PC**
- Linux disk encryption stays in **Security & Compliance**
- Per-section Fleet Free premium-gating lists updated to follow the
moves.
- **Consolidated the release-critical issue check** into a single "Ready
for release" gate covering both `~unreleased bug` (regressions
introduced during the cycle — the most critical to clear) and `~release
blocker` labels. Every such issue must have a milestone, an owner, and
be moved to "Ready for release" on its product group board before the
release can proceed.
- **Removed non-functional in-issue anchor links.** GitHub only
generates heading anchors when rendering Markdown as a repo
file/wiki/Discussion, not inside issue bodies, so the previous
`#notes`-style links silently did nothing once the template became an
issue.
