Database session hygiene. The bulk of code changes tighten how Heat runs DB queries, with four separate patches moving query execution inside explicit session scopes across the engine. It's a narrow, repetitive cleanup but touches multiple query sites and lands consistently across the module.

Resource lifecycle. On the orchestration side, internal ports are now deleted after server deletion completes, closing a gap where Nova-side teardown could leave Heat-managed ports behind (1003931).

Maintenance and branching. A typo sweep touches eleven strings across the tree, and tox configuration sheds a redundant passenv and a stale neutron-lib hacking-checks setting. The release-notes build no longer installs the code, and tox.ini-only updates now skip tempest and grenade jobs. Finally, master was opened for the next cycle with the stable/2026.2 branch cut: .gitreview, TOX_CONSTRAINTS_FILE, and the master version marker were all updated in lockstep.

heat-manage restoration. The heat-manage update_params command returned to the tree, landing on master and getting backported across three branches (~1,860 lines total at 998535 and its siblings). Alongside it, HEAT_ENFORCE_SCOPE was reinstated as a deprecated alias, softening a prior removal.

Integration pruning. The Vitrage integration was removed outright, deleting roughly 330 lines of resource plugins and related code. On stable/2025.1, the Jammy job was disabled.

Devstack plumbing. Several small plugin fixes tightened the devstack story: image_ref and instance_type are now set explicitly, the [service_available] heat option is written, an [oslo_messaging_notifications] driver is configured, and hidden_stack_tag(s) handling moved into the plugin. A handful of redundant knobs — a [volume-feature-enabled] backup override, CINDER_BACKUP_DRIVER, and the unused CEILOMETER_PIPELINE_INTERVAL — were dropped.
