###### What's Changed

- Fixed connection-state handling in squashed pipelines. Commands following `AUTH`, `SELECT`, `HELLO`, `CLIENT`, or `RESET` now observe the updated connection state instead of stale authentication, database, or RESP protocol state ([#8016](https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/pull/8016)).
- Fixed compressed QList node memory accounting and defragmentation ([#8011](https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/pull/8011), [#8014](https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/pull/8014)).
