What we have not verified
- We did not run this release or any of the new nodes.
- Partner nodes call paid third-party APIs; the release notes do not list their prices.
- Changes are described only by pull request titles; we did not check how each behaves or measure performance.
- A change turning on local web SSO and partner-node tokens by default was reverted in the same release, so we treat it as not shipped.
