Code Review

The pull request adds a new section to the release documentation for the 'Verify Release Candidate' workflow. This is a valuable addition to the release process. Given the PR title 'try windows', I suggest updating the example runners in the documentation to include Windows, ensuring the guide reflects the expanded platform support.

[gemini-code-assist]

The PR title indicates that Windows support is a focus of these changes. Including Windows in the list of example runners makes the documentation more complete and aligned with the PR's intent.
