Verdict

Non-blocking docs-only update; I cross-checked the changed version strings against the upstream runner image README and did not find any changed-line correctness issues worth blocking on.

Reviewed areas

• version bumps and summary text in research/ubuntulatest.md
• consistency of the updated tool/runtime versions against the referenced upstream README
• risk of stale or contradictory values within the edited sections

The background grumpy-coder helper did not return usable output, so this review relies on an independent manual pass.
