- Fix COUNT(col) counting NULL values — 3 locations (executor.nim)
- Fix EXISTS subquery lowering missing subqueryPlan (executor.nim)
- Fix Raft appendEntries/applyCommitted array vs logical index (raft.nim)
- Fix timing attacks on constantTimeCompare and SCRAM (auth.nim, scram.nim)
- Fix B-tree leaf merge phantom separator key (btree.nim)
- Fix SSL verifyPeer not applied to newContext (ssl.nim)
- Fix sharding connectWithTimeout missing SO_ERROR check (sharding.nim)

- Fix multi-CTE table loss (executor.nim)
- Fix nl_to_sql DML restricted to superuser (executor.nim)
- Fix unbounded plan cache — max 10000 (adaptive.nim)
- Fix migration lock crash persistence — timestamp + stale detection (executor.nim)
- Fix admin panel auth (httpserver.nim)
- Fix MVCC unbounded txn tracking — prune in compactVersions (mvcc.nim)
- Fix connection pool maxLifetime check (pool.nim)
- Fix JWT JSON parser backslash escapes (auth.nim)
- Fix substr(s, start) returning single char (udf.nim)
- Fix loadSSTable minimum file-size check (lsm.nim)
- Fix compaction mmap leak (compaction.nim)
