Jun 26#11810nerolationRestore the APPROVE Behavior section accidentally deleted by the signatures-list merge (#11481); +23/-0, no semantic change beyond restoration

Jul 6#11870lightclientClarify exceptional halts outside frame transactions and charge intrinsic gas for actual frame/signature data plus signature-validation cost
Jul 7#11814morph-devSpec cleanup: default code uses tx.signatures[0], signer defaults to tx.sender, public-mempool expiry frames must be first, mempool flags must match approval scope, no VERIFY after validation prefix
Jul 17#11953lightclientCorrect skipped atomic-batch receipt status from 0x3 to 0x2
