(commit 1cd566b8ea2259bb0110ac9aef5412cee1b34d93) - Do Not Prompt for Performance Info When Impact is None: Streamlined user experience by skipping perf data prompts when the "Performance Impact" is set to "none". (commit 6e787bc16ca7e7e1705cb72152f459347dbb7760) - Prevent Closure of Intermittent Bugs with Recent Classifications: Avoid premature closures by verifying recent classifications via Treeherder API. (commit b90850302b450e8999a1c95a4e245ea658f274d8) - Division-by-zero Safe-Guard in Average Caught Percentage Calculation (bugbug): Fixed division by zero by defaulting the average to 1 when no failing pushes exist, enabling continued calculations. (commit 2f08fdeb4ff26894528921bd84fb605682f08223) Other notable deliverables: - Notification Routing Cleanup: Removed a recipient from the notification list to fix routing configuration and reduce noise. (commit 3e9a035c7200990fc59ef044c371f5904954e02e) - Broadening No Severity Needinfo Query for Recent Activity: Expanded triage coverage by relaxing strict severity in no-severity-needinfo rules. (commit bd40836c1e517af30d84e293a607278cc6cacf24) - Release Version Bump to 0.0.596 (bugbug): Updated version for release readiness. (commit 01532b29f0e7ea2e547f022eb5cec633564bd008)
