 - Cron/context engine: run isolated cron jobs under run-scoped context-engine session keys so prior runs of the same job are not inherited unless the job is explicitly session-bound. (#72292) Thanks @jalehman.
 - Control UI: localize command palette labels, categories, skill shortcuts, footer hints, and connect-command copy labels while preserving localized command palette search matching. (#61130, #61119) Thanks @rubensfox20.
 - Plugins/memory-lancedb: request float embedding responses from OpenAI-compatible servers so local providers that default SDK requests to base64 no longer return dimension-mismatched LanceDB vectors while preserving configured dimensions. Fixes #45982. (#59048, #46069, #45986) Thanks @deep-introspection, @xiaokhkh, @caicongyang, and @thiswind.
+- Plugins/memory-core: respect configured memory-search embedding concurrency during non-batch indexing so local Ollama embedding backends can serialize indexing instead of flooding the server. Fixes #66822. (#66931) Thanks @oliviareid-svg and @LyraInTheFlesh.
