AI claimed four of nine releases, all framework or library patches. No models. Privacy logged Whonix and Proton Mail Android. Nostr shipped Zap Store 1.1.0 with device keys and background auto-updates, plus a Mostrix point release. Bitcoin contributed a single Ledger Live Desktop build. The day carries no protocol changes, no security advisories, no Lightning. Operators running Mistral tooling, llama.cpp, or Buffa have updates staged.
