- Added overwrite option to cy.screenshot, support for clearing multi‑selects with cy.select([]), and made cy.pause work in headed run mode.
- Fixed several regressions: XHR response bodies in DevTools, choppy video capture on Chrome <89, proper error display for custom error types, CLI spec object crash, and object‑logging conversion error.
- Improved cy.request error messages for conflicting options and upgraded Chromium to 93 and Electron to 14.1.0.
