SECURITY.md (1)
10-11: LGTM!The version table updates clearly communicate the transition of v4.0.x to EOL status effective December 23, 2025, and maintain v4.1.x as Active until February 28, 2026. These dates align with the maintenance policy revisions in MAINTENANCE.md.
MAINTENANCE.md (2)
9-17: LGTM!The branch table and maintenance policy intro clearly establish the multi-branch lifecycle: v5.0 as active development, v4.2 as stable, and v4.1 as maintenance. The policy statement is concise and actionable.
19-27: LGTM!The accepted changes and contribution guidelines are well-structured. The master-first policy (line 25) ensures proper version control hygiene, and the explicit backport targeting syntax (lines 50-53) makes the process unambiguous for contributors. The note about v4.0 being EOL is appropriately placed.
