Added
- Color vision modes in the Overlay. The View menu now offers palettes tuned for red-green, blue-yellow and monochrome color vision, each chosen so that performance levels stay distinguishable. The setting is independent of the light and dark themes, and the existing colors remain the default.

Fixed

Changed
- Dev-env: Improved local database performance defaults — these apply to all database use, with the largest gains on big SQL imports (binary logging disabled on MySQL, InnoDB buffer pool raised to 1G to match the VIP production default, larger redo log, relaxed per-commit flushing). Existing environments pick the settings up automatically on their next start
- Edge Worker deploys are upload-only by default and now preview current and intended active state before mutation.
- Edge Worker deployment failures now distinguish upload failures from ambiguous enable failures and provide state-verification guidance.
- Updated contributor guidance for maintaining the Node.js and Go CLI runtimes.
- No customer-facing change until these artifacts are published.
- VIP CLI 5 prereleases can now publish signed
vip-next and go-search-replace archives through a guarded GitHub Actions and Buildkite promotion flow.
- Fixed VIP CLI 5 prerelease promotion when Buildkite returns Windows artifact paths with backslash separators.
