📌 Actionable Next Steps for Maintainers
- Review breaking-change issues
#7665and#7664— both filed by@Youssef1313this week, need team discussion before they land in 4.3/2.3. - Unblock the stacked PRs —
#7597,#7573,#7535,#7511, and#7444have been open since late March and are ready for review. - Soft assertions PR
#7355(Assert.Scope()) — a high-value feature, worth prioritizing for 4.3. Assert.Thatdouble-evaluation (#6690) — a correctness bug that could affect user tests silently; worth triaging soon.- TRX placeholder feature
#5364— commonly requested; consider adding to 4.3 scope if bandwidth allows.
