   The decision on discharge is postponed instead of granted, and several new calls and emphases are added on budget planning, judicial reform reporting, gender balance, AI limits, and cybersecurity. Some figures are updated: transferred preliminary rulings from 20 to 19, burnout cases from 19 to 17, training participants from 747 to 561, green tenders from eleven to eight, and social media growth percentages. Other changes are formal or wording: renumbering, punctuation fixes, acronym expansions, and minor rephrasing.
