 - Rewatch: preserve warnings after atomic-save full rebuilds. https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/8358
 
 - Preserve JSX prop locations across the AST0 translation layer, fixing `0:0` editor diagnostics in PPX-related flows. https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/8350
+- Fix type lowering for `dict{}` and `async`, so you don't need to annotate one extra time when the type is known. https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/8359
