    Fixed a panic in precise code navigation that could occur when a repository had multiple SCIP uploads indexing the same file path.

  • Code Intel Improve codenav performance for large files

    Fixed two issues with precise code navigation causing browser performance issues on large files.

  • Code Intel Prevent executor heartbeat deadlocks

    Fixed a deadlock between executor heartbeats and the unknown-commit janitor that could cause code intelligence indexing jobs to stall.
