No major bugs fixed this month.

September 2025 monthly highlights for elastic/eui: Implemented a key accessibility enhancement by respecting reduced motion preferences. The indeterminate progress bar no longer animates when the user has reduced motion enabled, aligning with accessibility guidelines and improving comfort for motion-sensitive users. The change was implemented with a minimal guard around the progress bar animation, preserving default behavior for users who do not enable reduced motion. The work was delivered via a targeted commit and prepared for broader rollout across the suite.
