Highlights

2 PRs merged, 9 issues closed and 22 commits — a consolidation week, clearing a backlog of older issues while the next round of work opened.

Maintenance and DevX (M5). Both merged PRs landed here: a Blockfrost inline-datum test decoupled from published script hashes (#2792), and prop_specIsComplete made to actually enforce API doc completeness (#2791). Four long-open issues closed, two of them predating this program: simple installation packages for the Hydra node (#1107), the hydra-coding-standards 0.7.0 update (#2079), limiting cross-package re-exports (#2351), and UTxO selection when performing partial fanout (#2333). Two PRs opened that merge later: macOS release binaries running without Nix (#2795) and unifying docs key naming to fuel and funds (#2800).

Operational Excellence (M3). The --deposit-activation flag opened (#2802), along with a test that partial fanout recovers funds with an unburned token (#2793). Two operational issues were filed: era history fetched once at startup, so a long-running node silently stops accepting Plutus transactions with future validity bounds (#2798), and an approved decommit that can be unpostable and permanently wedge (#2797). Deposits wrongly listed by the WebSocket and TUI closed (#2377).

Ecosystem Support (M4). The documentation work opened here — a partial fanout page (#2794) and fixes to docs dark mode, benchmark-page rendering and version links (#2799), the latter being the benchmark documentation improvement recorded against the program, currently only in the unstable version. The hydra explorer revamp (#2732) and acceptable deltas for the transaction-cost difference calculation (#1708) both closed.

Performance (M2). The fanout benchmark parameterisation opened (#2796), and the tx-cost-diff calculation fix closed (#2566).
