June 2025 — Flutter samples CI stabilization: Stabilized the Beta CI pipeline for flutter/samples by removing the isolate_example project, preventing flaky CI runs and accelerating beta feedback. Documented a future UI property rename (activeColor to activeThumbColor) to align with the design system update and reduce risk in upcoming releases. This work supports faster validation of beta features and reduces release-blocking CI noise. The change is tracked under the beta CI fix (commit #2627) with commit 85a3fd1902d48ae433ab084d68a666dc971ff148.
