[vchudnov-g]

Do not merge until Monday 2025-12-15

[daniel-sanche]

@vchudnov-g There's some work going on in agent_identity_staging that also needs to be released before the freeze. But they said they need to wait for a VP review on Monday, and then release Tuesday (We enter RRC1 end of day Tuesday)

We can either combine them into a single release on Tuesday, or do two back-to-back tomorrow. let me know if you have a preference

[vchudnov-g]

Let's not block on their VP review/approval, since it is not related the Python 3.14 support. Let's just merge this on Monday, and if their changes get the green light, we can follow up with those. (If their changes get approved and merged before we get to this PR, sure, we can create and merge a new release PR and drop this one.)
