The release does not end a three second count, it ends technically on a try for goal (if you decide to start it at all  )

Is the release not the start of the try?
9.7.1 A player shall not remain for three seconds in the
lane.....while the ball is in control of
his/her team.......
4.12.3a Team control continues until the ball is
in flight during a try or tap for goal.

Well look at 9-7-3:
Allowances shall be made for a player who, having been in the restricted area for less than 3 seconds, dribbles in or moves immediately to try for goal.
It is not about when Team Control ends, it is about what is proper to call 3 seconds. If the rules says give them allowances for a try for goal, that does not include the release of the ball. And 4-40 also states what a try for goal actually is. It is not just about the release.

9-7-3 refers to when the player in the lane is the one with
the ball.
In the earlier example A1 is in the lane, but the count stops when A2
releases a shot.
