✨ New Features & Capabilities (2)

- Added inline editing support to the JSON repeater interface. (#26863 by @bryantgillespie)
🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (3)
- Fixed license badge spacing issue (#27713 by @robluton)
- Fixed license modals being impossible to dismiss when shown above a route drawer (e.g. field detail pages) by keeping dialog focus traps stacked in visual order, and scoped license dismissal cookies to the whole app so dismissals persist across navigation (#27714 by @dstockton)
- Fixed revision snapshots being assigned to the wrong items during batch updates when read order differs (#27407 by @luciemdx)
