A second theme is build configuration fragility. Three separate PRs fixed compilation failures triggered by specific build flags: PR 121168 fixed the CSG module breaking under disabled physics 3D builds, PR 120127 extended that same fix across templates, and PR 121182 fixed MSVC compilation with the Tracy profiler,…
