Directus v12.6.0 — Release Notes & Engineering Impact

### ⚠️ Potential Breaking Changes **Added recommended default AI allowed models that update with Directus releases and apply while the setting is unset (null). ... ([#28344](https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/28344))** Deprecated LLM models from providers have been removed. Please recheck AI assistant settings before trying to use the AI assistant. **Raised the minimum required Node.js version to 26. Node.js 22 is no longer supported. ([#27737](https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/27737))** Updated minimum nodejs version requirement to 26 **Renamed the OpenAPI schema `x-metadata` to `Metadata` for consistency with other schema names ([#28323](https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/28323))** List responses now reference `#/components/schemas/Metadata` for `meta`, in both `@directus/specs` and `/server/specs/oas`. Update any `$ref` to `x-metadata` and regenerate clients built from the spec. **Updated the default `TELEMETRY_URL` and `COMPLIANCE_URL` to `https://telemetry.directus.com` ([#28385](https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/28385))** Telemetry and compliance reports are now sent to `telemetry.directus.com` instead of `telemetry.directus.io`. If your deployment restricts outbound traffic, allow `telemetry.directus.com` before upgrading. Otherwise reporting will fail without logging an error. - **@directus/app** - Raised the minimum required Node.js version to 26. Node.js 22 is no longer supported.
