 - **Database:** Fixed a bug where ``BaseConnection::listTables()`` could return a sparse array when using cached table names after a table was dropped.
 - **Database:** Fixed a bug where the PostgreSQL driver's ``increment()`` and ``decrement()`` methods were not working for numeric columns.
 - **Database:** Fixed a bug where the SQLSRV driver's decrement method was adding instead of subtracting the decrement value when ``$castTextToInt`` was false.
-- **HotReloader:** Fixed a bug where disabling ``zlib.output_compression`` could leave a truthy ``Off`` runtime value that caused later requests in long-running workers to fail the output-buffer guard.
+- **Config:** Fixed a bug where the app starter's ``zlib.output_compression`` guard rejected the valid disabled value ``Off``.
 - **Kint:** Fixed a bug where stale Content Security Policy nonces were reused in worker mode, causing browser CSP violations for Debug Toolbar assets.
 - **Language:** Fixed a bug where ``Language::getLine()`` returned the literal dot-notation key instead of the nested array value when the requested key resolved to an intermediate array three or more levels deep.
 - **Toolbar:** Fixed a bug where the Logs collector raised an undefined property error when using a third-party PSR-3 logger.
