DJANGO FIXES LOCALIZATION BUG ON DJANGOPROJECT.COM, MONGODB COMPATIBILITY ISSUE IN CORE

The Django website's Code of Conduct page is shipping with broken translation tags, while the framework itself removes an integer primary key assumption that broke MongoDB file uploads.

Djangoproject.com had a formatting regression in its Code of Conduct translate tags [1] that left `{% translate %}` markers in the rendered HTML instead of processing them into the actual title. This is getting fixed [2]. In the same repo, the documentation build pipeline also got a correction to header level handling in RST files [3], ensuring consistent heading hierarchy across blog posts regardless of format. Over in django/django, the test suite removed an integer primary key assumption from file uploads tests [4] that was incompatible with MongoDB's ObjectId type—a small but important fix for database agnostic testing. Performance benchmarking results are being added for ubuntu-latest builds [5] as part of ongoing CI work.
