  - [GER] The AI can now win the Death of the Republic civil war: the democratic breakaway takes 30% of Germany against an AI instead of 55%, so the interim government survives to reach the monarchist, nationalist or socialist path its game rule selected (Issue #3774)
  - [GER] The AI now buys back East German opinion as the divide deepens instead of sliding through all four East German debuff tiers unopposed, and no longer repeatedly consults its East German advisor (Issue #3774)

 Balance:

  - Fuel will only be purchased if the nation has less than 20% of it's reserve left
  - [CHI] The three Han Resettlement Programmes now occupy Inner Mongolia's single Sinicization slot for their duration and carry a social spending cost, so they can no longer all be taken back to back
  - Removed political power costs from focus completion rewards across 39 national focus trees, so completing a focus no longer charges political power on top of its other costs
  - Raised the building slot ramp across every populated state category: state_01 to state_18 now scale from 4 to 62 base slots instead of 3 to 50, and MAX_SHARED_SLOTS is raised from 56 to 72 so railway and infrastructure modifiers still have headroom above the base. Only state_00, inhospitable and military base categories are unchanged, so this affects 1059 of 1250 states

 Bugfix:
  - [HOL] Fixed the New Age of Social Democracy focus handing out a PvdA leader that contradicted the party's balance of power: every green and modernising focus and decision pushed the bar toward the Traditional Labor Base while every welfare and union one pushed it toward the Progressive Reformists, and a balance resting in the Progressive Leaning band completed no leader at all, dead-ending the branch. Asscher is now the traditional-labour outcome and Bos the centre one (Issue #3500)
  - Fixed the Renewable Energy Hotspot readout overlapping the bottom row of the state view building-slot grid whenever a state's grid is full
  - Fixed the under-construction badge in the state view covering the whole building slot; consolidating the building sprites removed the smaller state building icon strip and repointed the slot's status overlay at the full-size strip without its scale, so a 16px corner badge became a 27px image sitting on top of the slot's own building icon
  - Fixed light-fighter doctrine bonuses displaying as generic "Fighter" bonuses (Issue #2745)
  - [ALG/KOR] Fixed the UN Security Council seat campaigns sharing lobbying flags, so Algeria's and Korea's bids could block each other and count each other's progress
  - [SOV] Removed the Attract Wagnerians decision for the Silesian Bund; its Wagner strength requirement read a variable that is never set, so the decision could never be taken
  - Fixed event options in Russia, Iraq, and Sweden and an event description in Brazil pointing at the wrong localisation keys, restoring their existing translations
  - [KOR] Fixed the France line of the UNSC campaign status panel reading the United Kingdom's lobbying state

  - Removed the unreachable AI space production placeholder, which indexed undefined variables and never launched anything
  - [PMC] The Halo Corporation can now be hired by the United States and the United Kingdom - the sponsor check was always true, so both were forced down the path requiring each country to hold an opinion of itself
  - Space program constellations now advance to a newly researched generation - nothing in the mod ever promoted them, so a constellation stayed on its game-start tier no matter what was researched or launched
  - Space production price and duration are now read from the tier of the selected model rather than its position in the display list, so skipping a generation no longer prices a new satellite as an old one
  - The ctrl-click and shift-click variants of the space production amount and parallel-line buttons now respect an in-progress batch, matching the plain buttons
  - [USA] Fixed the Red Junta war-plan focuses (Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Britain, Germany, Serbia, Australia, India, China) never bypassing when the target was already a US subject or no longer existed

  - [SOO] Fixed the Zoroastrian rebellion focus never bypassing when Iran turned nationalist or no longer existed
  - [UKR] Fixed the befriend-Azerbaijan, befriend-Georgia, Belarus Brothers, and Polish-Ukrainian Brotherhood focuses never bypassing when the target refused the union or no longer existed

  - [VEN] Fixed the border defense decision never charging the treasury for its bunkers
  - [ASW] Fixed the Sudanese support event never paying out its promised funds

  - [INS] Removed the duplicate political power charge from the Deradicalization Campaign focus
  - [CHI] Fixed Belt and Road project names failing to render in application decisions and event descriptions
  - [CHI] Fixed Belt and Road applications ignoring China's project slots: every eligible nation could apply at once, pushing active projects far past capacity under automation and flooding China with approval popups without it. Pending applications now reserve a slot, and no country can apply while China is at capacity
  - [CHI] Reworked the AI weighting on Belt and Road application decisions so only plausible applicants apply, instead of nearly every eligible nation: applications now favour existing BRI partners, Chinese allies and unstable or lower-income states, are damped for wealthy, US-aligned and major powers, and are weighted per project type by geography and resources
  - [CHI] Rebuilt the Belt and Road Initiative around a spending budget China has to keep topping up: the treasury is funded only by China's monthly contribution and is never refilled by project returns, which now flow into International Investments instead. Eligible nations apply for a project, China accepts or auto-accepts, the treasury fronts the build cost, and the recipient either pays directly or takes a Chinese loan
  - [CHI] Belt and Road projects now run as a mission on the recipient instead of an event scheduled on China, so a project dies with the country that hosts it
  - [CHI] Replaced the five BRI presence tier spirits with a single spirit whose modifiers scale continuously with China's BRI presence, removing the monthly idea swap while keeping the same ceiling the top tier had
  - [CHI] Recipients now rank up through five BRI Partner levels as they complete projects, replacing the three-tier ladder
  - [CHI] Added a Chinese loan ledger: unpaid projects accrue interest as real income for China and a real expense for the debtor, and a debtor that cannot pay defaults
  - [CHI] Replaced the standing-terms decisions with the three levers the system actually needs: auto-accept, a treasury boost, and the existing BRI return modifier
  - [CHI] Fixed Seize Strategic Asset firing its response event at China instead of the debtor, which cleared the default flag on China, searched Chinese states for assets to seize, and left the decision permanently re-armed against the same target
  - [CHI] Fixed Seize Strategic Asset stripping a BRI state modifier and granting nothing back, because the compensating effect was gated on a temporary variable that had already expired
  - [CHI] Fixed every completed BRI project counting twice toward China's completed-project total, and partial completions awarding more presence than a full success
  - [CHI] Fixed the African mega-project event offering a project to every eligible partner at once instead of one
  - [CHI] Fixed China collecting BRI returns forever from partners that had been annexed, defaulted, or gone to war with it; a partner that ceases to exist now stops counting toward presence and clears its loan
  - [CHI] Fixed BRI projects resolving for countries that no longer existed, granting partner spirits to annexed tags
  - [CHI] Fixed recipients being able to spend political power applying to a China that had been annexed, which stranded them as permanently ineligible
  - [CHI] Fixed power plant projects being requestable without any industrial complex to host them: the project counted as built while granting nothing. Every project type is now gated on a state that can actually host it
  - [CHI] Fixed a BRI presence tier spirit never being removed when presence fell back below its threshold
  - [CHI] Removed a dead Belt and Road event that fired at Pakistan a China-only event it could never accept
  - [CHI] Belt and Road eligibility is now checked once on the decision category instead of separately in each of the eight application decisions
  - [TAT/BSH/BLR/CHE] Fixed the erase_nationalist focuses never applying their party popularity boost: the temp variables were set then overwritten before change_relative_party_popularity ever consumed them, silently dropping a +7% outlook bonus in all four trees
  - [TAT/BSH/BLR/CHE] Fixed erase_nationalist leaking its outlook bonus into the follow-up calls, which handed nationalists +21% popularity from a focus that jails them
  - [KUB] Fixed kuban.43 granting three state cores to the wrong, unrelated state instead of the one just transferred
  - [KUB] Fixed the NATO membership focus routing through Belarus's own NATO-join event, which tried to remove a Belarus-only idea, instead of Kuban's own copy of that event
  - [KUB] Fixed the Donbass referendum checking whether Ukraine owned six southern-Russian states, so the referendum could never fire
  - [KUB] Fixed the NATO join event never letting Kuban leave its current faction
  - [BSH] Fixed the USAID request event's decline option sharing its button label with the accept option
  - [BSH] Fixed the Chinese investment focus giving nothing on acceptance: China's approval fired the rejection event, and the acceptance event was unreachable
  - [SOO] Fixed the join-Russia referendum applying its loyalty opinion bonus to Russia itself instead of South Ossetia
  - [BOL] Fixed the Expand Anti-Cartel Operations and Bring In Military Support focuses never weakening the cartels: the strength change was set but never applied
  - [KUB] Fixed the two revolt focuses letting a Russian puppet annex six Russian states with cores while still at peace, since a subject's declaration of war on its overlord is silently dropped
  - [KUB] Fixed the South Russia and Donbass referendums being a coin flip, so the AI gave away six cored states on a 50/50 roll; acceptance is now weighted on opinion
  - [KUB] Fixed Port Security building nothing: coastal bunkers are province buildings and were being placed in a state with no province specified
  - [KUB] Fixed three focuses having no AI base weight, leaving them at a default of 1 against siblings at 355
  - [SOO] Fixed the Armenian coup handing South Ossetia a Russian state on Armenia's say-so; the transfer now requires the accepting country to actually own it
  - [SOO] Fixed the referendum acceptance event reusing Russia's button label instead of its own
  - [CHE] Fixed Erase the Nationalists leaving nationalists more popular than before, since the democratic popularity cut was redistributed back to them

  - [HEZ] Fixed the "Hezbollah has attacked our bases!" event (international_hezbollah.5) showing an "Influencer and Influencee are the same" error toast; the influence penalty now reads the attacked country off the sender scope, and both target-routing branches in international_hezbollah.4 use the correct attack-mission variable (Issue #2297)
  - [SPR] Fixed the helicopter procurement focuses (A Deal for the Apaches, Eurocopter Tigre, Eurocopter Cougar, A Deal for the Chinooks) granting production licenses that never appeared in inventory; each focus now requires the granting nation to hold the relevant helicopter technology (Issue #2290)

  - [USA] Softened the permanent Arab Legion conscription penalty from -15% to -10% and gave the idea a description (Issue #2118)
  - [HOL] Fixed "The Belgium Problem" focus appearing to do nothing: the proposal event to France fired with no delay so AI France auto-resolved it instantly and invisibly.

  - [SWE] Fixed "Navy Reforms" focus tech bonus tooltip displaying wrong bonus name

  - Removed the empty political_advisor slots in the government idea category that left the engine "You can select a: Political Advisor" alert nagging forever with no UI to fill them (Issue #786); intel advisor characters remain defined pending a follow-up assignment system

  - Fixed APC, motorized infantry, and motorized command vehicles getting corrupted stats in the equipment designer (most visibly the 4th Generation APC Hull's speed forced to 0) caused by stray equipment-need blocks inside land equipment doctrine reward modifiers

  - Fixed influence military aid not deducting equipment from the sender; also added equipment quantity previews to the package size picker
  - [TUR] Fixed the "Incentivised Farming" national spirit disappearing immediately after completing the "Subsidise Farming" focus; the idea's cancel and allowed_civil_war blocks were missing emerging_reactionaries_are_in_power and neutrality_neutral_libertarians_are_in_power, and allowed_civil_war had its conditions implicitly AND'd instead of OR'd (Issue #1541)

  - Fixed "No Terrorist Threat" faction goal requiring all global terror orgs to be eliminated instead of just having an intelligence agency (Issue #1045)

  - Fixed United States of Europe council vote not adding 111 to EU_passed_votes (added 0 instead) because on_annex reset the vote variable during member annexations; also ensured focus_EU111_QMV_yes flag is set on the forming country for USoE focus tree progression (Issue #1071)
  - [GER] Fixed Germany civil war being triggered too easily for the AI: raised ai_will_do base from 1 to 20 on the three BfV crisis purge decisions (GER_purge_banks, GER_purge_government_institutions, GER_purge_military) so the AI takes them within the 100-day mission window; also fixed NOT AND trap in their available blocks that allowed multiple purge decisions to be active simultaneously (Issue #1046)

  - [SWE] Replaced attack_helo_bat with L_Air_assault_Bat in the NSB Helikopterflottiljen template; Sweden lacks attack helicopter tech in 2000 causing "no variant found for heavy_tank_chassis" log errors on every game start (Issue #822)
  - [SOV] Added missing russia.3 and russia.4 events; russia.10 (Belarus integration choice) deferred the actual annexation/puppeting to russia.3 via effect_tooltip, so without it Belarus was never integrated despite the player accepting; russia.4 is the Belarus-refuses notification (Issue #824)
  - [ENG] Restored missing experience_gain_submarine_training_factor modifier to the Andrew Naval Heritage decision (Issue #881, #452)

  - [SOV] Fixed Constantine Petrov "Speak in the State Duma" event setting the SOV_did_not_allow_duma_to_speak flag on the wrong option, inverting the KOB focus branch's allow_branch gate and making the player's speech choice cosmetic; also added a defensive flag clear in sov_other.37 so the coup completes SOV_kob_party_start regardless of trigger source (Issue #1273)
  - [SOV] Fixed Warsaw Pact coup decisions creating an unwinnable mid-civil-war puppet relationship: set_autonomy fired immediately alongside start_civil_war, locking SOV out of sending volunteers to support its own puppet while NATO could freely support the democratic breakaway; the puppet handoff is now deferred to on_civil_war_end so SOV can intervene during the civil war and only puppets the target if the communist side wins (Issue #1214)

  - [CZE] Fixed Petr Pavel's political branch not being available after Pavel retires from the army
  - [SOV] Renamed misspelled SUB_subject_rebeliion_flag to SUB_subject_rebellion_flag across all call sites; save-incompatible — pre-existing saves with the old flag will lose their rebellion-blocking state, allowing affected subjects to rebel again
  - [SOV] Initialized SUB_ekb_level alongside SUB_moscow_level in SOV history so subject city level checks return correct values from game start
  - [DEN] Fixed gulf exploitation income missing the *0.0003 multiplier, which made the income contribution effectively zero

  - [POL] Fixed State Run Economy not disappearing after no longer being communist
  - Fixed 27 places where focuses, decisions, and events were supposed to grant an influence percentage change but silently did nothing; affected paths include the BLR Kommunarka decision, BOL Latin-American diplomacy, HOL Afrikaner expansion, LBA Western Sahara peace plans, TAJ Central Asia development, TUR foreign-ownership focus, civil-war liberation setup, and a number of event chains in Armenia, Egypt, Belarus, the Netherlands, Abkhazia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia
  - [HEZ] Fixed two Hezbollah anti-Zionist support decisions (BRA, COL) writing influence to a misspelled temp variable (`influence_tBRAet` / `influence_tCOLet`), so the influence boost silently went to the wrong default target instead of Brazil/Colombia

  - Fixed helicopter sensor, avionics, and air-to-air missile modules being unlockable only through By Blood Alone aircraft technology, leaving every starting helicopter design invalid for players without that DLC; the No Step Back helicopter tech tree now enables them
  - [ENG] Fixed ENG_political_power_factor_monarchy set to 0.0.05 instead of 0.05 in country history, causing the monarchy political modifier to apply a near-zero bonus
  - [ENG] Fixed NOT block in on_actions regime transition trigger so it correctly blocks when any single stabilising condition is present, not only when all are true simultaneously
  - [ENG] Fixed moonbase progression: added OR guard in ENG_advance_moon_base so the ENG_moonbase_beta_completed flag prevents re-triggering
  - [ENG] Fixed ENG_royal_visits_abroad focus not granting monthly Commonwealth Realm influence on on_action
  - [HOL] Fixed focus ID case mismatch: HOL_Oranje_Nassau-Mines renamed to HOL_oranje_nassau-mines (Linux case-sensitive)
  - [HOL] Fixed add_tech_bonus name in HOL_military.065 event referencing non-existent trait HOL_military.60_bonus; corrected to HOL_military.065.t

  - Fixed Somalia election events not clearing the generic_election_killswitch flag for all Somali faction countries (SNA, SWS, PUN)
  - [BRA] Fixed administrative reform focus granting the French administrative reforms idea instead of the intended effect
  - Fixed higher-tier helicopter sensor and avionics modules being inaccessible without the By Blood Alone DLC by hooking the module enables onto the non-BBA MR_Fighter tech chain (Issue #1419)
  - Fixed 7th, 8th, and 9th generation anti-armor tank ammo having equal or lower hard attack than mixed ammo of the same tier; restored the +4 anti-armor advantage seen in earlier generations (Issue #1361)
  - Added rail terminals to the Infrastructure Investiture construction speed boost (Issue #1425)
  - [BRA] Fixed the MERCOSUR diplomacy decision category never appearing in the decisions tab because its allowed block depended on a global array populated after game start; replaced with a static tag list and added a category icon (Issue #1416)
  - Fixed bankruptcy decisions releasing every subject mid-war: bankruptcy_incoming_collapse timeout and bankruptcy_default_on_debts now only call end_puppet when the overlord is at peace, preventing puppets from being freed when their overlord defaults during a wartime cash crunch (Issue #852)
  - Fixed the Advanced Officer Training doctrine trait granting no army-size or army-group bonuses because its max_commander_army_size and max_army_group_size modifiers were placed in a generic modifier block instead of the role-specific corps_commander_modifier and field_marshal_modifier blocks (Issue #1266)
  - [SPR] Fixed the conservative and socialist LGBT focuses (SPR_the_lgbtqa_stance, SPR_lgbtq_affirmations) not stacking because both fired the same three-way choice event; the socialist focus now grants a separate SPR_lgbtq_affirmations_idea that stacks on top of the pro-LGBT stance idea (Issue #1007)
  - Fixed the Drone Missile Package (land_module_drone_launcher_1-4) blanking the rocket-artillery designer to "Unknown" with no way to recover; added the missing allow_equipment_type = rocket declaration that every other primary-weapon module in MD_arty_modules.txt already carries (Issue #1333)
  - [IRQ] Fixed Iraq capitulating to USA and triggering the end-game screen when the Multinational Coalition Forces (MNF) capitulated to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom; the Iraqi Forces Scatter on_capitulation handler matched MNF (which shares original_tag = IRQ via copy_tag) and fired iraq_war.9 on the real Iraq, now gated by NOT = { has_country_flag = is_iraq_mnf } on ROOT (Issue #1196)
  - [RAJ/PAK/CHI] Fixed the Kashmir border clash decision categories firing for the overlord when India was a puppet of a third-party country; the category visible blocks only blocked the puppet-of-each-other and same-faction cases, so RAJ AI kept taking attack decisions and pulling the overlord's troops and generals (including field marshals) onto the Indian border via start_border_war — added is_subject = no checks for both belligerents in each category (Issue #1473)
  - [BLR/EGY/SOV] Cleaned up the fertilizer-capacity variable writes in BLR_GrodnoAzot, BLR_Chinese_kal, EGY_evergrow, and SOV_economic_grodno_annex; the initialisers used redundant TAG-prefixed set_variable while tooltips read the bare names, so the writes now match the loc and the rest of the focus-tree convention (Issue #1442)
  - Fixed the Anti-Ship Drone Missile modules contributing nothing when paired with conventional naval armament on the same plane; the five tiers now apply a small flat baseline plus a multiplier to naval strike attack and targeting on naval bomber and port strike missions, so the drones act as a force multiplier on whatever primary anti-ship weapon the plane carries (Issue #1166)
  - [ITA/GER] Fixed AI and player investment building nuclear reactors in countries with a policy ban; added country_can_build_nuclear_reactors scripted trigger that both the investment GUI gate (investments_building_reactor_available) and the AI investment scorer (AI_get_nuclear_reactor_score) consult, covering ITA_nuclear_power_banned and GER_idea_carbon_neutral (Issue #1130)
  - [ITA] Fixed mafia event spam firing 2 to 6 events per month even when all four organisations were at Negligible strength; counter increments now gate by the relevant organisation's strength tier (Negligible skips entirely, Low at 25%, Medium and Endemic at 50%) with a 14-day global cooldown (Issue #1130)
  - Fixed civil-war participants being dismissed from NATO and flagged by the EU breach-of-values system as starting an offensive war; added has_civil_war guards to dismissal_rule_offensive_war and check_breach_of_EU_value, and excluded same-original_tag enemies from the EU peace check
  - [HKG] Fixed HKG_carrier_construction calling a non-existent decision unlock_eastern_maritime_shipbuilding_group; the focus now sets the eastern_maritime_shipbuilding_group_unlocked country flag and emits the MIO unlock tooltip, so completing the carrier branch actually grants the Eastern Maritime Shipbuilding Group MIO (Issue #1505)
  - [CMW] Fixed the Parliament of the Commonwealth focus re-establishing elections for generic-tree countries like Taliban-led Afghanistan; the joint_focus completion_reward broadcasts to every participant, so the enable_elections call now lives in completion_reward_joint_originator and iterates Commonwealth members explicitly via every_country (Issue #1507)
  - Fixed licensed attack helicopters rendering as tanks because no generic attack_helicopter_1/2/3_entity existed; added the missing fallback entities reusing SOV_Mi24_mesh so any country without a TAG- or culture-specific override now shows a helicopter (Issue #1467)
  - Fixed medium walker hull (super_heavy_tank_chassis) variants being unbuildable because every walker armament, leg, drone, and defensive module copy-pasted forbid_equipment_type_exact_match = armor from regular tank modules, stripping the chassis' super-heavy-tank role and forcing the design to save as SPG which the medium_walker_battalion could not accept (Issue #1468)
  - Fixed ahead-of-time inconsistencies on 74 late-game techs across 12 files (AI, robotics, computing, electrification, battery storage, composite production, AA/AT/artillery upgrades, AWACS, fighters, helicopters, naval modules, hypersonics, camouflage) where start_year did not match the visual row macro; start_year and the matching ai_will_do date guards now align with the tree position the player sees (Issue #1510)
  - Fixed every internal-faction preview tooltip displaying all multipliers as 0% on factions the country had not yet added, making 1200 PP "add faction" decisions look pointless; the *_opinion_tt tooltips now lead with a shared header explaining that effects scale with opinion (0% at 50, max at 100) and show 0% until the faction is active (Issue #1516)
  - [GER] Fixed El Radii Class frigate variant using tier-3 ASM and VLS-SAM modules without the enabling tech; downgraded to module_asm_2 and module_vls_sam_2 to match Germany's starting naval tech (tier 2) and bring the variant in line with the other GER frigate_hull_3 designs (Brandenburg, MEKO Anzac)
  - [POL] Fixed national spirit Polish-Ukrainian War not disappearing after the war ended.
  - [POL] Event "Janusz Korwin-Mikke Thrown Out of Power" will no longer appear if Poland don't have active Janusz Korwin-Mikke balance of power.
  - [HOL] Fixed non-D66 coalition partners' focus-tree progression
  - [CZE] Fixed unite Czechoslovakia decision disappearing prematurely during peaceful unification
  - [HEZ] Fixed the 33 Days War event not being triggered for Israel.
  - [ISR] Focus "A Binational State" no longer tries to annex Palestine or Hamas when those countries no longer exist (Issue #3478)
  - [AST] Fixed every election installing a democratic government regardless of which party actually won (Issue #3468)
  - Putting the largest opposition party in power now keeps the country's existing election status instead of forcing elections off for fascist and on for nationalist winners (Issue #3468)
  - [PMR] Fixed the General Lebed death event checking Russia's head of state instead of Transnistria's, so Lebed was marked dead even while he was ruling Transnistria (Issue #562)
  - [CHI/NKO] China could puppet North Korea within roughly two game years through the influence system, without taking a single joint focus. Subordinating North Korea now runs through the Sino-DPRK joint focus tree only (Issue #3775)
  - [CHI] Focus "The Beijing Settlement" no longer requires North Korea to already be a Chinese subject, which is the outcome the focus itself grants (Issue #3775)
  - [CHI] Focus "The Chinese Correction" no longer resets Korean Peninsula tension to zero, which discarded its own award and all prior progress (Issue #3775)
  - [NKO] Focuses "Threaten the South", "Accelerate Testing" and "Remilitarize the DMZ" no longer render Japan's entire Article 9 Balance of Power block in their tooltips (Issue #3775)
  - Fixed special project duplication/unification and history file grant bugs
  - [LBA] Fixed a crash when NATO evaluated its civil-war intervention strategy before the Libyan rebels existed; European NATO members now back whichever side actually revolts (Issue #2374)
  - Fixed impassable states being targetable by investment projects and receiving SAM sites from the air-incursion event (Issue #2361)
  - Fixed the Guerrilla Leader commander trait never gaining XP; it now progresses when commanding majority-militia divisions (Issue #2369)
  - [PER] Fixed the 2005 election event erroring when the departing party was never in the government coalition (Issue #2346)
  - Fixed the Incoming Revolt mission never completing for countries controlling any non-core state, causing a civil war despite zero resistance (Issue #2384)
  - [IRQ/PER] Fixed Iran's Oppress the Shiite Population opinion penalty on Iraq persisting after Iraq's government becomes Shiite (Issue #2386)
  - Fixed cyber attacks ignoring the target's cybersecurity rating entirely and the target info panel showing the wrong defense stat (Issue #2314)
  - [HOL] Fixed the Gripen purchase granting blank airframes instead of the JAS 39 Gripen A/B (Issue #2347)
  - Formable nation purchase offers now wait a year before being re-sent after a decline (Issue #2357)
  - [TUR/AFG/SOS] Fixed 16 focus and event rewards calling internal faction opinion effects with the wrong capitalisation, so the Ulema, Oligarch and Military opinion shifts never applied
  - [SAU/BHR] Fixed Iran's Oppress the Shiite Population penalty persisting after the Gulf Shia representation focuses end the oppression
  - [IRQ] Fixed an error and a dead branch when the General Military Council won the Iraqi civil war; Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri can now carry over as Iraq's leader instead of always being replaced at random
  - Focus, decision and event previews now show the effects applied to every member of a bloc (EU, NATO, ASEAN, Arab League, Mercosur, Antarctic Treaty and others), which were previously invisible in 35 places
  - Fixed the Monthly Auto-Influencer report listing your own nation as one of the countries you are influencing, and auto-influence silently stopping for every remaining target once the first one you added was removed (Issue #2413)
  - Fixed satellite access buffs vanishing a few days after being granted; the monthly recalculation zeroed every other country's satellite bonuses and dumped them on an unrelated nation, and ASAT strikes did the same in reverse, handing the victim's bonuses to the attacker (Issue #2344)
  - Fixed the African Union's Create a Common Oil Fund focus giving the completing nation the doubled export-revenue penalty and half the fuel-consumption saving, leaving it worse off than the members it granted the focus to (Issue #2371)
  - [IRQ] Fixed Iraq's leader rotation dead-ending, so regime-change events announced a new leader without ever installing one; Ahmed Chalabi sat in an unreachable duplicate branch (Issue #2400)
  - [BAN/CZE/DEN/ELS/FYR/LUX/MLR/MLV/SLV/SWE/UKR] Fixed the same unreachable duplicate leader branch in eleven further countries; the dead code also hid invalid sub-ideology names, a leader given the wrong ideology in Ukraine, and a Slovenian leader decrementing another branch's counter
  - [UKR] Fixed Ukraine's Slava class cruiser drawing its name from Russia's pool and launching as the Chapayev; it is now named Ukrayina
  - [AZE/CAR/EST/GEO/GER/GUA/IRE/PKK/SLV/SOV/TUR/USA] Fixed leader rotations skipping a number in their succession order, which stranded the leaders past the gap and handed the country a randomly generated leader instead; for Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Germany and the PKK the single authored leader for that ideology could never appear at all
  - African Union focuses now reserve their branch the moment the mandate is spent rather than on completion, so a second nation can no longer spend a later mandate on a rival focus while the first is still being worked on and end up with two AU headquarters, two stock exchanges or two currencies; the reservation is released if the nation holding it is annexed or leaves the Union (Issue #2375)
  - Fixed Nigeria and Ethiopia being able to take the African Union's "headquarters in our country" focus, and South Africa and Egypt its "stock exchange in our country" focus, bypassing the dedicated focus each of them already has
  - [GUA/SLV] Fixed socialist, communist and conservative leader rotations running through the entire roster in a single election and then falling back to a randomly generated leader
  - [SWE/UKR] Fixed leader rotations counting past a slot, which stranded Sweden's fourth Left Party leader and Ukraine's Yuriy Boyko where neither could ever take office
  - [ALB] Fixed Edi Rama never being able to take office, leaving Albania with a randomly generated leader whenever the socialists came to power
  - [ANT/NIG/SER/SIN/SLV/SOV/WAG] Fixed the remaining leader rotations that counted past a slot, never counted at all, or drove another ideology's counter, stranding leaders and handing countries randomly generated ones; Russia's nationalist line was entirely dead, Serbia's Aleksandar Vucic block was gating nine unrelated ideologies, and holding Lee Hsien Loong in office put Goh Chok Tong back in at the next Singaporean election
  - [IRQ] Fixed Ahmed Chalabi being installed as leader from 2016 onwards despite dying in November 2015, and named the 2000-start socialist leader, who was called "John" while wearing Jalal Talabani's portrait
  - [USA/TAL] Fixed the bin Laden operation-request event crediting the removal of humanitarian aid to the country that asked for the raid instead of the country that actually held it
  - [AFG/TAL] Fixed a Taliban-scoped cleanup event clearing Afghanistan's insurgency strength and flag on the wrong country, which could let the insurgency come back to life if Afghanistan was later released
  - [CHI/TAI] Fixed the Great Chip Empire national spirit never actually being granted to Taiwan, chinese_aggression being read and written on the wrong scope so the SCO's China-aggression joining and dismissal rules never applied and China puppeting a country credited the aggression to the puppet, and the Taiwan Strait war-declaration events firing with no guard against an existing war, shared faction, or Taiwan already being a subject
  - Fixed a Security Council auto-reject not counting as a veto, letting a permanent member be outvoted on its own veto; split the General Assembly and Security Council sway lockouts so a concluding Assembly vote no longer freed up a second Council sway on the same member; and fixed aborting a Security Council vote leaking the subject flag, which left the target immune to every future Council proposal for the rest of the campaign
  - [PER] Fixed the Strait of Hormuz closure applying its fuel and oil-export penalty to every country in the world instead of the Gulf exporters who actually ship through the strait
  - [Yugoslavia] Fixed the Yugonostalgia startup values resetting on every save load, since the initialization ran unguarded; it now seeds once and persists
  - [Yugoslavia] Fixed forming Yugoslavia setting the founder's capital to Belgrade even when a non-Serbian successor led unification, and moved the founder's threat, national spirit and cosmetic tag out of the hidden effect so the forming player sees their own gains
  - [Yugoslavia] The invitation-to-join AI now weighs the invited state's own Yugonostalgia and whether the inviter leads the revival, instead of ignoring the support system entirely
  - [Yugoslavia] The Serbian restore-Yugoslavia focus now requires independence like the Kosovo and Montenegro paths, and the Bosnian unite decision reads the shared consensus check instead of re-listing seven raw variable checks
  - [BOS] Fixed the Dayton Accords spirit making subject annexation free instead of more expensive (annex cost sign was inverted)
  - [BOS] Roll the Dice no longer silently sets stability to an absolute 20%; it now applies a visible stability penalty
  - [BOS] Merged the Belgrade Conference's duplicated pro-Srpska timer extensions, closed the four-month window where the House of Representatives focus was simultaneously available and bypassed, and gave the Milorad Dodik focus a bypass so it can no longer become a permanent dead leaf when the 2010 event is missed
  - [BOS] Localisation cleanup: restored diacritics on the rotating-presidency names, fixed the SFOR/EUFOR intervention tooltips, and corrected spelling and grammar across the tree; added the missing civilian-factory decision cost text
  - [BOS] Fixed the civil war militia spawns for Republika Srpska and Herzeg-Bosnia silently failing because the breakaway tags never had the militia division template
  - [BOS] Fixed two blank decision icons, the entitled-lands decision being able to take a state occupied by an unrelated third country, the presidency rotation decision consuming political power when no rotation could happen, and the aircraft purchase focus gating on a third of its real cost
  - [BOS] The Islamic takeover decision no longer declares a duplicate regular war alongside its scripted civil war or grants Herzeg-Bosnia its cores twice, and the workers' republic and caliphate cosmetic tags now drop on regime change
  - [BOS] The SFOR and Dayton Accords spirits now survive a civil war split, the postwar grievance and NATO Membership Action Plan spirits have icons again, and the state landmine modifier no longer shares an identifier with the landmine idea
  - [Balkans] Cross-nation fallout in the Gotovina, Ohrid, Prespa, and Kosovo events is now visible in tooltips instead of applied silently, the Kosovo normalization answer is opinion-driven instead of a coin flip, and the Banjska event text now attributes the contested claims instead of stating them as fact
  - [SER] Serbia's adjusted starting economy (treasury, investments, tax rates) supports the Yugoslavia revival arc
  - Fixed the "asks for a debt bailout" events taking no money from the donor while still granting influence and debt relief (Issue #2464)
  - Accepting a bailout request now applies the payment, debt cut, influence gain, and opinion shift together at answer time, and does nothing if the request has already lapsed
  - Fixed AI bailout donors ignoring the bailout cost when deciding whether to accept, so poor nations no longer bankrupt themselves helping others
  - Fixed the overlord bailout never actually lowering the subject's autonomy
  - Fixed rejecting the IMF corruption-cleanup offer skipping the Debt Relief Rejected penalty every other rejection applies
  - Fixed the African Monetary Fund bailout showing $0 debt relief in its tooltip and clamping its debt cut with reversed bounds
  - IMF debt relief can no longer push a nation's debt below zero
  - Fixed focus rewards in the Azerbaijan, Egypt, Georgia, India, Israel, Russia, Syria, Crimea, Iraq, and Turkey trees and a Subject Russia event setting a treasury cost that was never charged
  - Fixed the drought apology payment to a neighbour charging nothing
  - Fixed the raid reparations preview showing a $0 payment for the paying side
  - Fixed annexation GDP, inflation, and literacy blending ignoring the annexed nation's values
  - Fixed frigates fitted with the Heavy Frigate upgrade module becoming permanently undeployable (Issue #2508)
  - Fixed the Naval Radar Jammer tech line reducing detection less at higher tiers than lower tiers, and corrected a designer hint typo (Issue #2536)

  - [CAN] Add missing states to the decisions to expand infrastructure
  - [CHI] Added the "Operation New Dawn" special forces raid decision that focus "Operation New Dawn" already advertised, resolving into one of four outcomes weighted by the Jang and Princeling preparation chains: exposure, a quiet failure, a North Korean civil war, or a pro-Beijing takeover (Issue #3775)
