- Dropdowns on macos calc not working
→ know which commits caused the problem
→ commit which originally caused it, and commit that made it happen all the time rather than only on certain parts of the dropdown
→ investigating the commit that had the original cause to see why
→ it was meant to be some simple conversion/refactor but changes various behaviors

- Fixed a disk leak
- When sysTemplateIncomplete is true (systemplate is read-only and dynamic files like /etc/passwd are out-of-date), each kit process creates a per-jail copy at /tmp/systemplate-/ containing a full recursive copy of systemplate/etc/ (~500KB).
- On kit exit, tryRemoveJail() calls removeAssocTmpOfJail() which removes tmp/cool-/ but never tmp/systemplate-/. These orphaned directories accumulate indefinitely, only cleaned on container restart via removeAuxFolders().
- In production with hundreds of document sessions per day, this grows to multiple GB over weeks.
- Updated MCP PR https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/15290
- Addressed more UI/UX things for AI sidebar things https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/commits/rashesh/all-ai-prs
- Several PRs pending review
