 * Update ChangeBatcher tests to reflect encoding behavior for duplicate-named children.
 * Enhance deduplication processes and refactor code for improved readability and consistency.
 * Update rbx-dom subproject and reflection database.
+* Implement live syncback via the Studio plugin with service properties encoding, allowing Roblox→filesystem sync during `atlas serve` sessions without the CLI command.
+* Add `SyncbackRequest` structure and API protocol validation for plugin-initiated syncback.
+* Add `SyncbackConfirm` UI component for reviewing and confirming live syncback operations in the plugin.
+* Implement git-based sync direction defaults: use `git status` metadata to auto-select sync direction for changed files, with `stage_paths` support in `PatchSet` for automatic git staging.
+* Enhance matching module with reference identity checks, matching session caching, valid children tracking, and `@native` codegen annotations.
+* Sort syncback matched indices by new-child index for stable output ordering.
+* Update deduplication suffix numbering to start at `~2` instead of `~1`.
+* Refactor `RefPathIndex` initialization and attribute indexing; add regression tests for unique placeholder handling in reference paths.
+* Update syncback rules and property filter defaults.
+* Compact JSON5 array formatting for property values.
+* Update color handling and enhance session management in the Reconciler.
+* Refactor animation goal settings to use instant transitions in the plugin UI.
+* Refactor version rejection logic in `ApiContext`.
