Basically, does the process of mashing release any kind of minerals into the water by itself?

I think you mean CaCl, it's the main addition suggested in the primer, aj usually doesn't advocate using chalk. And the only reason we're adding CaCl is for the Calcium, the chloride is just sort of 'along for the ride'. No Magnesium additions, etc.https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f128/brewing-water-chemistry-primer-198460/
Ajdelange has discussed this ad nauseum. It's so cheap and easy to add minerals back to your water. Spend $2 on gypsum and CaC03, and follow Ajdelange's baselines.

DI deionized
RO reverse osmosis
The grocery store RO unit I get my water from has a little display that says when it was last 'serviced' and it's always either that day or the day before. I've always sort of thought; "Yea, right and I have a bridge in Brooklyn..." According to the flow diagragm on the front it has two RO filters plus some carbon/UV. I wonder what they consider 'service'?Many of the 'grocery store' RO water units don't have frequent filter changes, and thus won't be truly pure. Not saying the water is bad, but it probably isn't the ultra pure 'true RO/DI' water that needs to be reconstituted with some minerals and buffers.
