+### Changed
+
+- Build standalone core, tests, release archives and npm artifacts with the pinned Bazel graph; execute Rust test suites with nextest.
+- Share compiled artifacts between local development and CI through Bazel's content-addressed disk cache.
+- Publish binaries for macOS Apple Silicon and Linux x86-64 GNU; discontinue Intel macOS artifacts.
+- Pin the published Monty fork, including deterministic typeshed archive generation.
