- - Reduced test flakiness and fixed shard initialization issues (adjusted sleep times, bucket load handling).
- - Boosted filtered‑search performance with parallel HNSW flat search, rescoring speed gains, and extended slow‑log filtering capabilities.
- - Enhanced raft reliability and backup robustness by moving node selector to store config, skipping schema callbacks during catch‑up, and gracefully canceling backups on node restarts.
