March 2025: Documentation alignment for MicrosoftDocs/edge-developer. Updated site-impacting-changes.md to reflect that the cross-origin dialog removal proposal has been abandoned upstream, and removed the entry for removal of cross-origin subframe JavaScript dialogs. This aligns the docs with upstream decisions, reducing misperceptions and support questions, and demonstrates effective change-tracking, markdown documentation, and release-note stewardship. No major bugs fixed in this repository during the month; the focus was on documentation accuracy and cross-team coordination. Commit: 37de8b38d32e740b86ea0fb042f8ea514a6518cb.
