The second theme is a maintainer-driven cleanup: trimming dead internal exports across nearly every major plugin — Mattermost, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, QA Lab, Voice Call, the daemon, memory wiki, agents, and extensions. Steipete and vincentkoc are behind most of these. The pattern is the same each time: privatize…
A third cluster is state and authority correctness. PR 107002 stops the Gateway from treating every migration notice as a hard startup block, closing two long-standing bugs.
