- Fixed several issues: erase empty WAL files, async replication digest fetching, BM25 filter matching condition, and made RAFT trailing logs configurable.
- Added new BM25 and indexing capabilities: env‑var segment inspection limit, skip search on empty allowList, rangeable in‑memory index/segment with buffer pool, and batch vectorization tokenizer caching.
- Optimized performance with faster segment header parsing, commit‑logger writes, bloom‑filter reads, and improved cache concurrency handling.

Added new REST search endpoints (bm25, hybrid, near object, aggregate counts) and backup role inclusion feature.
Fix async replication handling, including local resolution of replicas, leaked goroutine fixes, and proper tenant restoration on failures.
