Release v3.8.42 — full CHANGELOG in CHANGELOG.md.
CI: 103 checks green incl. CodeQL (all languages), Semgrep, all 8 unit shards,
coverage, Node 24 compat, and integration tests. Full unit suite validated
locally: 19437 pass / 0 fail. The 3 red checks are advisory and do not gate
main (no required status checks): SonarCloud/SonarQube new-code coverage gate,
and PR Test Policy (test-masking detector flagging the legitimate dead-Phind
provider removal in #5530 — reviewed, correct).
Includes cycle-close reconciliation + repair of inherited base-red tests from
#5480/#5527/#5427/#5521 that the PR->release fast-path did not exercise.
Release v3.8.31 — see CHANGELOG.md [3.8.31] for full notes and contributors.
Merged over known non-blocking reds (all correctness gates green): Integration Tests (2/2) is env/flaky (polls a real upstream batch that did not complete in the poll window); SonarQube/SonarCloud is the advisory server-side new-code quality gate. Unit (8 shards), Coverage, Node 22/24/26, Lint, PR Test Policy, Quality Ratchet, Docs-Strict, Quality-Extended and all 4 CodeQL analyses are green.
