Back in the days, I remember downloading the combo updater and ran it on top of the 'new' version just for reinsurance.

I see 26.5.2 showing up on my M1 Pro moment ago.
I remember installing new releases on discs and developer builds required downloading a new ISO and burning it every two weeks for a complete installation of every new beta for 2-3 years. It ensured proper core OS testing without third party apps being an issue.

I miss that Snow Leopard intro.
