- Finalize CHANGELOG [3.8.34] (43 bullets, full contributor attribution) + seed i18n mirrors
- Rebaseline inherited cycle drift surfaced by release-green pre-flight: eslint warnings
3900->3907, cognitive-complexity 797->801 (release-finalize touches no prod code; all
drift is from this cycle's contributor merges)
- fix(providers): keep reka-flash-3 as the Reka provider default. #4621 inserted reka-flash
at the head of the model list, silently changing the default from reka-flash-3 (the
free-tier model) to reka-flash; reorder so reka-flash-3 stays default, reka-flash retained.
- test: align provider-models-config / provider-models-route / web-cookie-providers-new with
#4621 (reka-flash now in the Reka catalog) and #4699 (the `kimi` API-key provider correctly
falls through to DefaultExecutor instead of KimiWebExecutor)
- chore(quality): allowlist the COMPRESSION_GUIDE doc name in check-fabricated-docs
(false-positive env-var match; docs/compression/COMPRESSION_GUIDE.md exists)
