I second @hasufell’s appeal for more eyes on the RC releases. If you want to use with Stack:
Add a setup-info dictionary to a configuration file with the applicable entry for your operating system. For example, on Windows or macOS/AArch64, a stack.yaml:
snapshot: nightly-2026-03-13 # GHC 9.12.3
compiler: ghc-9.12.3.20260311
compiler-check: match-exact # Anticipating future rc releases
# Only required before the GHC version has been installed:
setup-info:
ghc:
