-# Patches 01,03,06,07 need manual rebase for 26.1.4 (dry-run: hunk failures).
+# Mesa 26.1.4 no longer has a Redox EGL platform file upstream.
+# Keep only the patches that still apply cleanly; the Redox platform-specific
+# patches must be rebased separately once the modern surfaceless path is
+# validated.
