(2) Python/runtime enhancements: expose flush on the Python recording stream and deprecate Python's log_components to simplify usage and improve runtime behavior. (3) API/UX refinements: move Visible to the common module and add user-facing enhancements like a context menu action to copy entity paths and a command palette option to reset to the default blueprint. (4) Visuals and testing improvements: support multiple scalars per timestamp in the SeriesLine visualizer, add snapshot tests for time series views, and ensure deterministic rendering in tests. (5) Release readiness and communication: first draft of the 0.22 release notes with a Python notebook example and related testing/documentation updates. Major bugs fixed include stabilization work across blueprint reset, graph view parity, and standalone builds, as well as fixes for time progression, rendering consistency, and non-final release tagging, which together reduce regression risk and improve user confidence in updates.
