I load org-mode directly from my local copy of the org-mode git
repository and update on the fly. It works well, until today.
After an initial 'pull', 'make clean' and 'make', I 'cd' to lisp and 'rm
*.elc'. I then updated from an org-mode buffer, successfully. I 'make
clean' again followed by 'make'. I then did a further update from an
org-mode buffer. The second update was successfully loaded, and
subsequent launches of emacs cause no errors. However, I did initially
receive the following warning:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
It is recommended to put
(straight-use-package 'org)
early in the config. Ideally, right after the straight.el
bootstrap. Moving `use-package' :straight declaration may not be
sufficient if the corresponding `use-package' statement is
deferring the loading.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I do not use "packages" nor "straight", so why the recommendation? My
method works perfectly well. As well as the above warning, the debugger
clicked in with an "Org version mismatch" error. The path to org-mode is
already loaded early (very early) in my ~/.emacs.
After the update, I received no further warnings or errors from emacs,
from both the active and subsequent sessions. In my opinion, all the
update warnings were essentially wrong and unnecessary. So why are
they there?
Colin.

You got this warning because it is assumed that straight.el users are
mostly affected by the mixed compile/mixed load issue.
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install
Did you get this warning when you restarted emacs?
Next time please, save result of "ls -ltr lisp/". It sounds like some
issue with dependencies in makefiles. Perhaps something was wrong with
org-version.el, org-macs.el, org-loaddefs.el and .elc files.
Another way to get mixed versions issue is to put some require, e.g.
(require 'org-protocol)
before adding the directory to `load-path'. There are long threads on
errors due to compiling ELPA package from Emacs when old Org version is
already loaded.

I have never used straight, and I update my org-mode every couple of
days. Today was the first time I received the warning.

There is no org-protocol anywhere in my ~/.emacs.

That warning message is rather long and I suspect you may miss its
beginning because it was scrolled out of the warnings buffer. If so,
have a look into `org-assert-version' definition in lisp/org-macs.el or
you may try something like
emacs -Q -l org -L ~/path/to/your/org/repository/lisp -l ob-shell

What branch is tracked there, main or bugfix? I am unsure that it will
be possible to reproduce the issue, but the following command may shed
some light on updates history
git reflog | head -n 20
Please, specify Emacs version.
> > Did you get this warning when you restarted emacs?

Then I am completely confused what happened. Org compiled by make should
not be affected by the mixed compile issue, especially after "make
clean". How do you load updated version without restarting of Emacs? Do
you use `org-reload'? Please, try to specify all you steps from "git
pull" to first time when you got the warning.

It is not necessary org-protocol, any org file loaded before load path
is changed may cause the issue. It might be e.g. building agenda buffer
during startup.

If I remember right---this may be related or not---I saw this warning myself
little while ago, but "make maintainer-clean" in the Emacs source (I track the
development tree) and recompiling made it go away. (I find I need to do that a
couple of times a year, for one reason or another.)

Thanks for info. I have asked for org git branch. I am almost sure it is
main, but to be sure
git -C ~/git/org-mode branch --show-current
git -C ~/git/org-mode describe
If the issue was caused by specific order of file changes, even in the
current state output of the following command may be used for attempt to
replay updates by git checkout + make
git -C ~/git/org-mode reflog --max-count 20

I assume you build it yourself. Do you run emacs binary from
source+build tree or from install tree (make install)? The latter has
.el.gz files instead of .el, and at least in Emacs-28 it affects
behavior of compilation of ELPA packages by package.el.
Another point is that the origin of your issue might be in built-in
version of Org. It has `org-assert-version' as well. Perhaps there is a
bug in make rules for Org in Emacs tree. Could you, please, try the
following for your *current* emacs build?
emacs -Q -l org-agenda
> 1. emacs <RET>
Till `org-reload' C-c C-x ! at the step 10 org is not involved. Does you
init file loads some Org component or some Org buffer is created at
startup? To be sure
M-: (featurep 'org)
I assume that ~/git/org-mode/lisp is added to `load-path' in your init file.

I am sorry for my ignorance, I usually run make from a terminal
independent of emacs. Doesn't M-x compile runs make, so I expect it is
the same as
make; make clean; make
and it is a bit strange for me.

Why did you decided to manually delete *.elc files? I have lost at which
step you got the warning. I expect that "make clean" should remove .elc
files.
> 10. Open any org-mode file or buffer and do C-c C-x !
`org-reload' immediately after removing of .elc files sounds strange for
me. At least since previous command was "make", not "make clean",
org-loaddefs.el should exist at this moment, so uncompiled version
should be loaded, but prefix argument should be used to load Org uncompiled
C-u C-c C-x !
If org has not been loaded before the step 10, then `org-reload'
should-not be necessary at all.

Is org-loaddefs loaded from ~/git/org-mode/lisp? It is a sanity check
for working Org and more interesting when it is broken.
(car (assoc "/org-loaddefs.el" load-history (lambda (a b)
(string-match-p b a))))
However I am unsure if it is relevant to your case.
Next time when you get that warning, please, confirm that
emacs -Q -L ~/git/org-mode/lisp -l org-agenda
is not affected, so the problem is solely with reloading of updated
version without emacs restart.

"No match."
This figures since loading org-mode is only the second load-path
adjustment done by my ~/.emacs. The first is setting the path to
slime. All other load-path adjustments, such as other org-mode
application libraries come later after org-mode itself.

Yes, via (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/git/org-mode/lisp"))

In the case of build org-mode, I first select "make clean" from the
history of "M-x compile". Then I do "M-x compile" again and select "make"
from the history. The effect is the same using the terminal, except the
outputs are now contained in emacs buffers.

If I don't delete the elc files in ~/git/org-mode/lisp after the first
build then I do get errors. I find that a running emacs-session at this
stage of the process is happy to load new org-mode .el files but not
.elc files. I then repeat "make clean" and "make". Now the running emacs
will load the .elc files and complete the update.

I think it must be because ~/git/org-mode/ is the first org-mode found
and not the org-mode within emacs itself. How can I check?

Ok. I will do that.

C-h e to check messages, but since errors or warnings buffer does not

I would expect either nil or t. Did you press M-x that is
`execute-extended-command' instead of M-: that is `eval-expression'?
Alternatively you may execute in in the *scratch* buffer
(featurep 'org)
and C-j or C-x C-e when cursor is immediately after the closing parenthesis.

Thank you for explanation. For some reason I believed that M-x compile
invokes make without additional prompt. So
make clean; make
sounds perfectly reasonable.

Do you mean that it happens on each update? No .elc files should survive
"make clean". I have not tried to reproduce it accordingly to your
steps, but I have seen something strange related to .el and .elc files
while experimenting with package.el.
https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html#orgd21575b
"Compatibility and Convenience" and
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development
suggests that
make uncompiled
may be a shorter path to the same point.
However accordingly to your description I expect that you do not have
Org loaded yet. If you can not load compiled org now it should cause an
error after emacs restart as well.

(car (assoc "/org-loaddefs.el" load-history (lambda (a b)
(string-match-p b a))))
Evaluate it e.g. in the *scratch* buffer by C-j
I removed parts of your message where I do not have questions concerning
provided info. Thank you for it.
You enumerated 16 steps, but It is still unclear to me at which one you
got the warning mentioning straight.el. Sorry for annoyance. Certainly
you need working Org, but I am interested in a recipe that leads to
broken state despite it looks like a valid way to update org.

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't follow your recipe exactly. If enter
(featurep 'org) in the scratch buffer and do C-j then I get nil.

Yes. However, there was a time several months ago when I needed only
build org-mode once to update it successfully. Something then changed in
org-mode such that initially updated .elc files caused an error. I
subsequently discovered that if a went through the build process twice,
removing the .elc files after the first build, they would be accepted at
the second build.

Org-mode is already loaded, that is the git version of org that I am about to
update is already loaded. If I C-j
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(car (assoc "/org-loaddefs.el" load-history (lambda (a b)
(string-match-p b a))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in a scratch buffer then I get "~/git/org-mode/lisp/org-loaddefs.el". I
update org-mode during a normal emacs session that may have run over
one or two days, during which time I will have used org-agenda, clocked
in and out of various times and perhaps used org-export.
Best wishes,
Colin.

Since it is a custom emacs build, is its folder present in your PATH? Is
it the same binary as reported by the following command in emacs eshell
buffer
sh -c 'command -v emacs'
(it does not work without sh -c since it is a shell built-in)

Sorry, but I do not see any step that may cause org loaded (step 8 is
corrected):

I failed to reproduce the issue.
I compiled and installed emacs

I started from Org commit

1. emacs -L ~/src/org-mode
2. M-x eshell
3. eshell: cd ~/src/org-mode
4. eshell: git checkout f4446ce79 # etc.
5. eshell: make clean
6. eshell: make
7. C-x C-f /tmp/test.org
no error
8. C-c C-x !
should not be necessary, but no error anyway.
9. C-x C-c
repeat from step 1
