PR 9351 from terrorobe fixes an edit-preview flicker where remote file edits briefly showed a false error because the preview read the local filesystem while execution used a different backend. PR 9319 guards against a crash in mouse region handling when extension components…

PR 9350 fixes a deadlock risk on Android and Termux by avoiding process forking in executable…
