-- Reduces write overhead and index size for mostly-NULL worker and orchestrator queue columns with migration `0023`.
-- Hardens future migrations against temporary-object shadowing by placing `pg_temp` last in the migration `search_path`.
-- Updates the provider and `pg-stress` companion crate to Duroxide 0.1.30.
+- Fixes `fetch_orchestration_item` returning a lock lease that had already expired when connection-pool or instance-lock waits were longer than the lock timeout (migration `0025`). Every ack, including the poison ack, failed with `Invalid lock token`, so the message was retried for as long as the contention lasted.
+- Updates the provider and `pg-stress` companion crate to Duroxide 0.1.32, which fixes queue, signal and continue-as-new races and makes `Runtime::shutdown` stop every runtime task.
+- Runs the new upstream race-replay and continue-as-new provider validations against PostgreSQL.
