+## 0.33.8
+
+- Skip cache-only policy maps, request snapshots and ticket work when caching
+  is ineligible. Preserve independently enabled transformations, header policy,
+  security decisions, telemetry and runtime configuration reloads.
+- Lazily allocate idle timers while preserving the original construction
+  deadline, progress resets, trailers, cancellation and permit lifetime.
+- Retain only request headers consumed by compression, and use direct hex
+  formatting for request IDs while preserving per-request entropy and hashing.
+- Shorten live-history mutex holds by cloning entries and releasing evicted
+  entries outside the lock; preserve retention, drop counters, live streaming
+  and external sink behavior.
+- Reduce filesystem job context copies and root-descriptor duplication. Use
+  adaptive file reads up to 64 KiB, preserving pinned-root and symlink checks.
+- Report validated local file end-of-stream on the final frame. Fix successful
+  HTTP/1 file responses reported as cancelled and full/empty file cache fills
+  that were never committed. Reject short or oversized local streams; keep
+  upstream end-of-stream and trailer handling unchanged.
+- Correct inherited Host-port validation, long-form Expires parsing, retained
+  cache inventory, diagnostic-header spoof protection, escaped-JSON log
+  redaction and certificate-token authorization ordering.
+- Repair obsolete test fixtures/assertions without relaxing existing behavior;
+  add actual process/transport regression, benchmark, profiling and soak runners
+  with exact configurations, checksums, raw samples and resource observations.
+- Keep the existing LB panel and persistence schema. Performance outcomes are
+  documented separately in `docs/PERFORMANCE_0.33.8.md` and the evidence archive.
