What shipped
- Collection snapshots now support Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage backends in addition to S3. Pull request #10714
- Payload index schema transitions now support in-place enable_hnsw updates without rebuilding existing field-index files. Pull request #10790
- Added explicit substring match filter condition for text fields, restoring raw substring matching behavior. Pull request #10711
- Implemented resharding operations for ConsensusStateMachine with all required actions including SetReplicaState and AbortTransfer. Pull request #10697
- Added CompactedTracker, an immutable RAM-resident Logstore tracker that decodes its file once and serves all lookups from memory. Pull request #10737
- Edge shards now expose cumulative IO statistics for remote requests and writes through a unified metering layer. Pull request #10769
- Pull requests now cancel superseded CI runs, reducing wasted test runs on multiple pushes to the same branch. Pull request #10801
- Text index read surface now exposes document lengths and token counts per document and segment-wide. Pull request #10670
- Server now warns at startup when distributed mode has an API key configured but enforce_internal_auth is disabled. Pull request #10718
- Added UIO request tracing module with offline visualizer to analyze universal IO operations in edge shard queries. Pull request #10742
Why it matters
This week shipped critical infrastructure improvements: resharding consensus operations enabling cluster topology changes, expanded snapshot backends for cloud deployments, and foundational work on immutable trackers and compacted storage formats. The changes support better observability, performance optimization for edge deployments, and safer cluster operations.
