• Release: b12.0.0 (see Releases guide)

Commits

• JIRA-linked first line: AG-XXXX <description> (uppercase JIRA number)
• No JIRA: <description> (concise, imperative mood)
• Keep the first line under 72 characters.
• Never attribute agentic tooling (no "Co-authored-by", "Generated by", or similar).
