 ## Highlights
 
 - upgrades the framework's dependency baseline, including YesSql 6.0 (new `ISession.SaveAsync` signature), the Model Context Protocol 2.0 packages, the GitHub Copilot SDK 1.0.8 (new `PermissionsApi.SetAllowAllAsync` mode-based API), Anthropic 12.39.0, OllamaSharp 5.4.30, the .NET 10.0.10 runtime/extension packages, and the `Microsoft.Extensions.AI` 10.8.3 packages

+## Fixes
+
+- fixes AI document citation links throwing `System.InvalidOperationException: The following endpoints with a duplicate endpoint name were found` in multi-tenant hosts. `DocumentAIReferenceLinkResolver` no longer resolves the download link by endpoint name (which forced ASP.NET Core to validate global endpoint-name uniqueness and failed when other modules registered the same named API endpoints across tenants); it now builds the path directly from the static `DownloadAIDocument.RoutePattern`, respecting the request `PathBase`.
