## Bug Fixes
- Responses stubbed from `cy.intercept()` will now automatically set `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` and `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials` to permissive values unless explicitly overridden. Fixes #9264.
- HTTP responses that cannot have a body (like HTTP 304 and HTTP 204) can now be awaited using `cy.intercept()`. Fixes #8934 and #8999.
- We fixed an issue where HTTP redirects could not be awaited using `cy.intercept()` unless dynamically intercepted. Addressed in #9097.
- Tests will no longer hang in certain situations when there's an error in a `before()` hook. Fixes #9162.
- We no longer strip `/` from URLs when they are explicitly passed with query paramaters. Fixes #9360.
- Fixed the regression in `Cypress.dom.isVisible` behavior for elements with `position: fixed`, addresses #8998 and #9031.
