 ## 0.7.2 - Unreleased
 
+- Fixed diff-scoped review and CI runs to include changed features regardless of their previous review status, preventing warm-state gates from silently skipping changed code, thanks @youhaowei.
 - Added Rust seed context for Cargo manifests, paired crate entrypoints, and directly declared modules across crate roots and binary layouts, thanks @Tanmay-008.
