+## 0.33.8: request-path performance and compatibility verification
+
+This release reduces unnecessary cache-policy work and header copies when
+caching is disabled, creates body-idle timers only when a read actually waits,
+and formats request IDs without a generic per-byte formatter. Request IDs retain
+fresh operating-system entropy and the same SHA-256 construction.
+
+Live-log history moves entry cloning and eviction cleanup outside its mutex
+critical section. Its bounded retention, best-effort insertion, drop counters,
+live stream and external sinks retain their existing contracts. Saturation tests
+record history losses explicitly alongside throughput and resource use.
+
+The Web Server uses a narrow filesystem context and borrows its pinned root
+descriptor for nonempty paths. Adaptive reads are bounded at 64 KiB. A local
+file-body wrapper reports completion with the last expected byte, fixing HTTP/1
+cache publication and complete-response accounting for ordinary and empty files.
+Range, conditional, HEAD, sidecar, cancellation and short-file cases are covered
+by additional tests; arbitrary upstream bodies retain their trailer semantics.
+
+Compatibility testing also fixes existing explicit-Host-port validation,
+long-form `.htaccess` Expires parsing, expired cache inventory visibility,
+reserved backend-diagnostic header protection, escaped-JSON secret redaction,
+and certificate deployment authorization ordering. Obsolete tests are updated
+to exercise the existing documented behavior, including scheme-isolated cache
+keys, purge generations, private administration responses and bundled error pages.
+
+The LB panel, database schema, default TLS/caching policies and bounded pool
+recycling retain their existing behavior. Live process regression, verified TLS,
+H2/H3/QUIC and WebSocket runners, repeated nginx comparisons, resource sampling,
+syscall profiling and a mixed-traffic soak are included in
+[`scripts/performance/`](scripts/performance/README.md). See the
+[verification contract](docs/TEST_REPORT.md) and the separately generated
+[performance results](docs/PERFORMANCE_0.33.8.md) for measured outcomes and limits.
