Master advanced from e03b51d7db to ee223e6545 after bot-thread resolution and the PR-body policy fix. Merge-forward preserves the reviewed issue commits and explicit checkpoint history instead of rewriting the branch.
The only textual conflict was the generated translation-pairing record for docs/config-catalog. Regenerate the English catalog from the combined source tree and re-record the bilingual hashes so current-master command-line changes and this PR's compression configuration coexist.
Verified with pnpm run verify-config-catalog, pnpm run verify-translation-pairing docs/config-catalog.md, and git diff --cached --check.
