### New features

-   YAML parsing is now stricter about empty maps: a null value (an empty value, `~` or `null`) where a map is expected, such as a bare `config:` in a stored remote config, is rejected instead of being treated as an empty map. Use `{}` for an empty map. Empty documents are still accepted.

### Bug fixes

-   On-host: shared filesystem cleanup no longer follows symlinks, so content outside the shared filesystem is never deleted, and dangling symlinks are removed.
-   On-host: Startup failures that happen before logging is configured (e.g. an invalid `local_config.yaml`) are now written to the default Agent Control log file, so they are visible when running as a Windows service.
-   On-host: OCI registry requests now go through the configured proxy regardless of the proxy URL scheme, so an `http://` proxy is no longer bypassed.
-   On-host: a sub-agent killed by a signal (e.g. by the OOM killer) is now reported as terminated by that signal instead of "process exited with code: 0".
