AI dominates with five releases, Privacy three, Self-hosting two

AI infrastructure took half the wire. llama.cpp added BF16 hardware-acceleration fallback, Qwen Code pushed a nightly with channel refactoring, Open Interpreter synced to upstream Codex rust, and Molmospaces tagged a pre-major-update stable. Privacy logged Mullvad VPN desktop, Obtainium track-only controls, and Anytype Android cross-space search. Self-hosting saw Vaultwarden fix password changes with newer web-vault and linkding add CORS plus SSRF protection. Bitcoin had one item: Electrs switched to bindex, requiring Core 31 and a full reindex. Nostr brought Lightning.Pub with no API changes. No CVEs, no protocol layer work.
