This release-watch entry was generated from the project's official GitHub release feed and is kept separate from human-reviewed editorial analysis.

This branch includes the final parent and reconciles its squash merge, preserving the current cursor fixes. The final diff against main is 8 files, +17/−62 , limited to the XPath flag removal, documentation, removal of the obsolete XPath test, and release metadata.
