Summary

This release includes the changes required for an upcoming hardfork (Chicago)

Activation

Rollout notes

• Consensus-affecting; coordinated upgrade required across the network before the activation block on each chain.
• Backward compatible up to the activation block — pre-activation behavior is unchanged.
• No configuration migration or resync required.
• Cut from master (hotfix-style release flow) to ship independently of develop's pending content. Post-release backport master → develop will follow.
