 - iOS/Talk: harden mobile talk config handling by ignoring redacted/env-placeholder API keys, support secure local keychain override, improve accessibility motion/contrast behavior in status UI, and tighten ATS to local-network allowance. (#18163) Thanks @mbelinky.
 - iOS/Gateway: stabilize connect/discovery state handling, add onboarding reset recovery in Settings, and fix iOS gateway-controller coverage for command-surface and last-connection persistence behavior. (#18164) Thanks @mbelinky.
 - iOS/Onboarding: add QR-first onboarding wizard with setup-code deep link support, pairing/auth issue guidance, and device-pair QR generation improvements for Telegram/Web/TUI fallback flows. (#18162) Thanks @mbelinky and @Marvae.
+- iOS/Location: restore the significant location monitor implementation (service hooks + protocol surface + ATS key alignment) after merge drift so iOS builds compile again. (#18260) Thanks @ngutman.
