Description
Collaborate with the Status team on manual and automated QA for ongoing Desktop releases, including at least 2.40 and 2.41. Maintain the existing test suite and expand coverage for new features as release scope becomes clear. Keep feature automation flexible as priorities and delivery dates change; select concrete scenarios with the Status team as the automation backlog is clarified. Continue Windows performance testing. macOS and Linux performance work remains tentative, subject to infrastructure availability and prioritization.
