Integrated into release/v3.8.27.
Adjustments before merge:
- Synced with the current release tip (was 11 commits behind).
- Added the 3 LLMLingua-2 ONNX optional-runtime deps to dependency-allowlist.json
(@atjsh/llmlingua-2, @tensorflow/tfjs, js-tiktoken) — the only gate that was red.
- socks was allowlisted directly on release (separate fix d7db5c73d; it was declared
by #4004 but never allowlisted, leaving check:deps red release-wide).
Verified locally: check:deps OK, file-size OK, public-creds OK, provider-consistency
161/232/0, typecheck:core clean, 24/24 LLMLingua tests pass. The only remaining Fast-QG
red is the pre-existing #3972 orphan test (request-logger-autorefresh-visibility-3972.test.tsx),
which is release-wide and unrelated to this PR.
