Phoenix LiveView closes a critical async task test failure while Elixir cuts unnecessary abs calls from Range operations.

LiveViewTest now ensures async tasks exit gracefully [1], closing four related issues that caused test flakiness when tasks failed to terminate cleanly. This lands as the framework tightens CI coverage to the latest Elixir and OTP versions [2]. On the language side, Elixir removes redundant abs/1 calls from Range.size/1 and Range.disjoint?/2 [3], since Range normalization already guarantees non-negative values, adding coverage for edge cases like negative-step singletons [4]. The Kernel.binary_slice family also picks up formal specs [5], improving type safety for a widely-used API. Dependabot dependencies get refreshed: postcss jumps 8.5.13 to 8.5.23 [6], linkify-it patches a DoS in mailto: links [7], and monocart-reporter updates to 2.12.3 [8]. Calendar.strftime/3 fixes width calculations to handle edge cases correctly [9].
