• 5813530: fix(approval): Telegram approval asks must go to the configured chat first, like Slack (GH-4808) (#5768) (@alekspetrov)
• 4191a47: fix(approval): fail closed when no approval handler is registered (#5763) (@alekspetrov)

• b22fa19: fix(approval): route an empty approval channel deterministically (#5767) (@alekspetrov)
• 7fbdf17: fix(autopilot): unlisted-check failures block the CI gate (GH-5468) but evidence and failed-check collectors still filter by the required_checks allowlist — zero-evidence hold on every such failure (#5778) (@alekspetrov)
• e962ea1: fix(ci): resolve post-merge CI failure from PR #5769 (#5772) (@alekspetrov)
• afbf81c: fix(ci): resolve post-merge CI failure from PR #5772 (#5774) (@alekspetrov)
• a953fe7: fix(executor): auto-preserve pushes a SHA that later steps rewrite, and every infra re-pick collides with that stale pilot/ branch (#5769) (@alekspetrov)
• 4f5eb5f: fix(github): ListBranches pages a matching-refs endpoint that ignores per_page/page — at 100+ pilot/* refs the sweeper processes every branch 50x and blows the rate budget (#5779) (@alekspetrov)
• 63adc88: fix(slack): one approval click path per run mode (#5765) (@alekspetrov)
