The signal today is steady maintenance, not new features: a cluster of editor stability fixes, two targeted repairs to the mobile renderer, and several platform and performance corrections.
First, the editor. A fix for a sub-inspector performance regression, in PR 124081, addresses slow inspector setup reported against 4.8. Related input handling gets tightened: PR 124114 stops remote debugger shortcuts from triggering unrelated editor inputs, and PR 124155 corrects inspector menu shortcut handling.…

PR 124132 fixes broken soft shadows for positional lights, a regression from September's PR 112178 where sample counts were packed…

On Android, PR 124176 stops activity recreation on font scale and weight changes, which was crashing the app. On Linux, PR 124148 fixes maximized always-on-top windows losing maximization on X11.
