No critical bugs addressed; changes improve auditing, operability, and deployment reliability.

April 2025: Delivered consolidation of session dependencies and improved adhoc session file ownership handling in rstudio/rstudio-docker-products. This work tightened cross-environment initialization, reduced risk of ownership-related errors, and set a single, maintainable dependency baseline across deployments. Result: more reliable startup, faster debugging, and healthier CI/CD pipelines.
