Changed

• Updated the wp-parsely submodule (used for local development environments) to version 3.24.3.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Replaced note avatars in the block toolbar with an Add note button that displayed the note count and opened a new note directly.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Preserved unsent note and reply drafts across block, thread, and editor-mode changes, and kept inline drafts attached as their surrounding text changed.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Selected inline notes from the caret position and returned to block-level notes or drafts outside highlighted text.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Removed the divider between the editor canvas and floating notes.
• WordPress MCP: Updated MCP Adapter to 0.7 on WordPress 6.9 and newer, now that it no longer defers to older copies bundled by other plugins.

Added

• Real-Time Collaboration: Added emoji reactions to notes with heart, celebration, smile, eyes, and rocket options.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Added selected-text note anchoring for Accordion Heading titles.

Fixed

• Real-Time Collaboration: Kept note anchor updates out of editor undo history so undo no longer detached new notes or restored resolved-note highlights.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Kept inline note highlights aligned when source content contained line breaks or repeated spaces.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Prevented edits while a note or reply was being submitted and allowed notes to be permanently deleted when trash was disabled.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Kept the editor at the selected block when opening a new floating note near the end of a scrolled post.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Kept stale read-only taxonomy fields out of collaborative edits so unchanged categories no longer triggered Save states or unsaved-changes warnings.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Stopped screen readers from announcing the Add note action as a dialog.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Restored spacing above floating notes.
• Enterprise Search: Fixed PHP memory exhaustion when saving a post in a term with a very large number of posts, which could also prevent the page cache from being purged for that save.
• Jetpack Publicize: Do not load on private sites
