##### What's Changed

Airtable imports of large schemas no longer time out. Forms can substitute the new record's ID into a redirect URL with `{{ID}}`. ACL condition editors no longer render blank in Firefox below 100% zoom. The Quick Setup flow gained a telemetry toggle and a recommendation to use getgrist.com authentication. Two new Admin Panel boot probes warn when document data may not survive a restart and report how outgoing requests are gated. Building grist-core from source now produces the full edition by default, with `yarn run set-community-edition` for the previous behavior. In the full edition, OAuth apps now support OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), so OAuth and MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients can register without being pre-provisioned, and apps can manage webhooks with just the `doc:webhooks` permission instead of the broader `doc.schema:write`.

###### Improvements

* Forms
  * Redirect URLs can substitute the submitted record's ID with `{{ID}}`, so a form can send the user to a page about their own submission (#1831)
* Airtable import
  * Large schemas are imported by submitting `ModifyColumn` actions in batches of 25, avoiding gateway timeouts on bases with many columns ([commit](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/commit/f8c45df3))
* Custom widgets
  * Reverted a restriction that disallowed same-origin custom-widget URLs, which had broken some unusual but legitimate setups ([commit](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/commit/eb483ef5))
* Quick Setup
  * Telemetry can be turned on during the Quick Setup flow, instead of only from the Admin Panel or an environment variable (#2419)
  * The authentication step recommends getgrist.com authentication with a hero card when no other provider is configured (#2410)
* Admin Panel
  * New "persist-data" boot probe warns when documents and the home DB sit on ephemeral storage and would be lost on restart (the Docker default with no volume at `/persist`, a RAM filesystem, or the container's root mount). Shown in the Admin Panel and as a banner on the Backups page; external storage or Postgres count as durable (#2396)
  * New "Outgoing requests" boot probe and Security Settings entry report how user-triggered outgoing requests (`REQUEST()`, webhooks, Import from URL) are gated by `GRIST_PROXY_FOR_UNTRUSTED_URLS` (#2294)
  * Edition is now its own card, the legacy Enterprise toggle is gone, switching edition clears the activation key, and the trial banner links to Admin Panel / Edition ([commit](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/commit/3b2ee8e8))
* Build / packaging
  * `yarn install` in grist-core now builds the full edition by default, via a post-install hook that downloads the `ext` material from grist-ee. Use `yarn run set-community-edition` to skip it (the previous behavior) or `yarn run set-full-edition` to opt in explicitly. The chosen edition is saved to `grist-edition`, `GRIST_EDITION` takes precedence, and `GRIST_SKIP_EXT_AUTOSETUP` skips the hook for contexts where extensions are installed manually (Docker builds, grist-desktop, grist-static) ([commit](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/commit/b0fa5fb8))
* Internal / infrastructure
  * File uploading refactored so uploads route to the correct doc worker (doc-specific endpoints) or travel in the main request (imports), in preparation for simpler multi-server configuration ([commit](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/commit/22343c37))
  * Bump `@gristlabs/node-sqlite3` (#2392)
  * Test database connection now verifies it points at the database the caller asked for, fixing `DocApiMisc` share tests that failed after certain other suites (#2402)

###### Fixes

* Duplicate document and Save Copy no longer fail with "Unknown Host" when both `GRIST_PROXY_FOR_UNTRUSTED_URLS` and `APP_DOC_INTERNAL_URL` are set, since trusted internal URLs now use a direct fetch instead of the untrusted-URL proxy (#2344)
* ACL condition editors no longer render blank in F
