The change aligns with the project’s plugin strategy, setting the stage for future code-display enhancements without core changes. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: improved UX for displaying code snippets, easier customization for code-block presentation, and a foundation for plugin-based UI improvements.

December 2025: Implemented a new extensibility point for the Discourse Subscriptions UI by introducing a plugin outlet named above-subscriptions-subscribe-title. This allows plugins to insert content directly above the subscriptions' subscribe title without core changes, enabling marketing and partner content to be added more flexibly. The change is implemented via a single commit (3b6631340247558c10e37531bf378fd64db72660) and references an external discussion on the plugin-outlet pattern. Collaboration is noted in the commit (co-authored by Jarek Radosz).
