November 2025 monthly summary for YaLTeR/niri: Primary focus on stabilizing the TTY render node lifecycle. Implemented a bug fix so render nodes remain active until the last primary node using them is removed, eliminating premature deactivation and improving resource management and stability in rendering operations. This targeted fix helps multi-primary node configurations run more reliably, reducing stalls and manual interventions. No feature introduction this month; the work was concentrated on reliability and maintainability.
