+
+- [#22905](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/pull/22905) [`9570a4d`](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/commit/9570a4d44980e9c6d853ee7d5e8a59c5e8f0606b) - #nops: Hard-set UID and GID when CHAINLINK_USER is non-root, and document container RootDir and safe volume mount conventions for operators.

+### Patch Changes

+- [#22733](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/pull/22733) [`6624255`](https://github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink/commit/66242557bd126cb8fe0bab390d6b75747408cdad) - Require explicit `don_family` on every nodeset for local CRE topologies. Gateway connectors, gateway worker jobs, capabilities registry families, and `env workflow deploy` are scoped by family. Deploy resolves the target workflow DON via `--don-family` (with optional `--shard-index`) or `--workflow-don-name`, and requires `--don-family` when local CRE state is absent. #internal
