Highlights

• Release pipeline is green end-to-end again. v0.5.1150 shipped with 5 of 19 platform build jobs red (so npm/homebrew/apt/winget publish never ran) and a Regression Check that had hung at the 6-hour timeout on every run since v0.5.1129. All root causes fixed (#4857).
• Android builds fixed — borrow-lifetime error (E0597) in perry-ui-android drag & drop broke both aarch64- and x86_64-linux-android jobs.
• Windows builds fixed — windows-core direct dependency for #[implement] COM authoring (#4837) ships in a release for the first time.
• Dense-array growth no longer quadratic — #4648's absolute 1M dense cap routed sequential large-array fills through string-keyed sparse properties (linear scan per insert). A 10M-element fill went from never finishing (6h CI timeouts) to ~3.3s. Sparse storage is now gated on the jump a write makes past the current length (engine-style dictionary-mode heuristic); reads consult sparse storage only past capacity.
• Performance regression gate actually works now — compare.sh --json-out resolved relative to the wrong directory, so the comparison had silently crashed (and | tee swallowed the exit) on every run since at least v0.5.1122; release-mode "hard-fail" gates were comparing nothing. Fixed, plus pipefail, a 100-minute job timeout, and both the performance and binary-size baselines refreshed from current measured runs.

Known issues

• date::tests::test_full_year_setters_revive_invalid_date_only fails when run in a non-UTC local timezone (CI is UTC): local-time revive of an invalid Date via setFullYear returns NaN.
