Regarding " ... releases it." and "... makes the shared state ready and releases it."
It's basically correct, but may be a misleading at this point as "release" is not "destroy". So an associated future can still pick up the result at a later point in time.
The std::promise page is a bit clearer on it:
"release: the promise gives up its reference to the shared state. If this was the last such reference, the shared state is destroyed. ..."
