Enhancements enhancements-26353

CQ-4360727: Added tags & asset metadata and i18n dictionary harvesting support for Agentic Translation workflows in AEM Translation.
CQ-4363507: Improved handling of long running dispatcher to increase stability in translation workflows.
FORMS-24887: Document of Record (DoR) generation now supports excluding attachments from the DoR Portable Document Format (PDF). Organizations can reduce DoR file size when attachments are delivered separately to the destination.

CQ-4363421: Added fix for Microsoft Translation workflow returning invalid target language code error for Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) for large sized content in AEM Translation.
FORMS-24826: Form submissions fail to complete in the MiniMed EForm Sandbox production tenant. External customers validating forms before production use cannot finish their workflows.
FORMS-25126: The Adaptive Forms rule editor does not allow edits to previously created rules, preventing updates to business logic and slowing form maintenance.

FORMS-25501: Adobe Sign workflows remain in a pending state when the sign status is not returned after the Adobe Sign step, blocking downstream processing.

SITES-41785: Incorrect root path and name added to create live copy job result for pages.
SITES-41928: Contexthub + Unified Shell overlap makes component menu inaccessible in editor.
SITES-42086: Orphaned Page Node Remains on Preview After Page Move — Page move on Preview removes the old page node entirely instead of leaving an orphan cq:Page without jcr:content.
