Swift's type join now accounts for toll-free bridging, while Kotlin aligns JS/Wasm companion object initialization with the JVM.

Swift's type join implementation now considers toll-free bridging [1], so expressions like a dictionary mixing NSNumber and CFBoolean infer [String: NSNumber] instead of [String: CFBoolean?]. This is a behavior change for code that relied on the old optional-typed inference. Separately, Swift's RemoteInspection now bails out of the opaque type requirement walk when a read fails [2], preventing dereferences of std::nullopt and use of garbage data. Kotlin aligns JS/Wasm with the JVM for the init order of companion objects from super types [3], fixing KT-87710. Kotlin also commonised the FP parser and stringifier between Wasm and Native [4], fixing KT-88414; the new shared code was rewritten from the C++ Harmony implementation and tested against K/N and JVM implementations on random generated cases. Flutter's AbsorbPointer sample now includes an IgnorePointer counterpart so the side-by-side makes the distinction observable [5], addressing issue 87936. Flutter also rolled Skia, Fuchsia SDK, and Dart SDK updates [6][7][8].
