<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41587">41587</a> node audit identified several vulnerable node dependencies
Fix node dependency security vulnerabilities by upgrading packages and adding yarn resolutions. The following packages were updated:</p>
<p>Direct dependency upgrades:
- gulp-exec from ^4.0.0 to ^5.0.0 (fixes lodash.template HIGH vulnerability)
- lodash from ^4.17.12 to ^4.17.23 (MODERATE)
- minimatch from ^3.0.2 to ^3.1.4 (HIGH)</p>
<p>Yarn resolutions added to pin secure versions of transitive dependencies:
- form-data ^2.5.4 (CRITICAL)
- fast-xml-parser ^4.5.4 (CRITICAL)
- braces ^3.0.3 (HIGH)
- qs ^6.14.1 (HIGH)
- serialize-javascript ^7.0.3 (HIGH)
- micromatch ^4.0.8 (MODERATE)
- @cypress/request ^3.0.0 (MODERATE)
- js-yaml ^4.1.1 (MODERATE)
- undici ^6.23.0 (MODERATE)</p>
<p>This brings in upstream security fixes for critical, high, and moderate severity vulnerabilities reported by yarn audit. No functional changes are expected in Koha beyond those provided by the updated dependencies.</li>

<blockquote>
<p>This fixes searching for terms when using the unimarc_field_4XX.pl value builder. The 'Start search' button now works, instead of doing nothing. (UNIMARC instances.) (This is related to the CSRF changes added in Koha 24.05 to improve form security.)</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40711">40711</a> Fix value builder for 181 in UNIMARC
Fixes the value builder for UNIMARC 181$c and 181$2:
- 181$c: now inserts the correct codes from the dropdown list (previously, it would populate the field with incorrect values - choosing cri would not add a value, crm would insert an a as the value)
- 181$2: now uses the correct HTML body ID (previously it was cat_unimarc_field_182-2, now it is cat_unimarc_field_181-2)</li>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41058">41058</a> Using Show Checkouts button when LoadCheckoutsTableDelay is set causes collision/error. loadIssuesTableDelayTimeoutId not assigned
<blockquote>
<p>This fixes an error message when viewing the checkouts table for patrons, under the patron's check out section in the staff interface, where:
- the LoadCheckoutsTableDelay system preference is set (greater than zero)
- "Always show checkouts automatically" is selected</p>
<p>Clicking "Show checkouts" when "Checkouts table will show automatically in X seconds..." is shown resulted in a pop-error message, after the table with the list of checkouts was shown:
Something went wrong when loading the table
200: OK.</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41131">41131</a> Libaray transfer limits basic editor allows one to prevent transfers from a library to itself and block related holds</li>
<li><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41518">41518</a> "Scheduled for automatic renewal" displays even if patron does not allow automatic renewals
This change makes the "Scheduled for automatic renewal" text only appear in the renew column of checkouts table in the staff interface and OPAC when the item will actually be considered for automatic renewal.</p>
<p>The text was showing, even if the item would not automatically be renewed due to automatic renewals being disallowed at the patron level.</p>
<p>This now matches the criteria that misc/cronjobs/automatic_renewals.pl uses for processing automatic renewals.</li>
<li><p><a href="https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41886">41886</a> Biblio::check_booking counts checkouts on non-bookable items causing false clashes</p></p>

<p>This fixes the deduping authorities maintenance script (misc/maintenance/dedup_authorities.pl) so that it now works and displays the output from the merging of authority records as expected. </p>
<p>Previously, it seemed to generate duplicate IDs, for example:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>This fixes the UNIX user/group ownership of the log files <code>intranet-error.log</code> and <code>opac-error.log</code> inside <code>/var/log/koha/&lt;instance&gt;/</code>.
Previously, running <code>koha-create --request-db</code> followed by <code>koha-create --populate-db</code> would result in the two log files being owned by root/root.
The correct ownership is now applied, meaning the log files will be owned by the <instance>-koha/<instance>-koha UNIX user/group.</li>

<p>This fixes and standardizes links to tabs for the patron summary section in the OPAC (such as Checked out, Overdue, Charges, Holds, and so on).</p>
<p>In the past, we have used several different ways (some that work, some that don't) to construct the links to the tabs.</p>
<p>Now, to directly link to a tab in the summary section, add ?tab=opac-user-* to the URL when you are in the summary section (where * = tab name from the anchor when you hover over the tab, for example checkouts (for Checked out), overdues (for Overdue), fines (for Overdue), recalls (for Recalls)).</li>

<blockquote>
<p>The "Run report" buttons in the guided reports interface are now disabled upon click and display a spinner icon, preventing accidental duplicate submissions that could overload the system. This improvement uses a new reusable throttled button component that automatically re-enables after a configurable timeout and correctly handles browser back-forward cache navigation. The component wraps icons in semantic containers for accessibility (aria-busy) and is designed to be reused across other parts of the staff interface.</li>
