May 18, 2026
The recent bug fix update introduced network error handling and resolved a bug preventing the Willow assistant from responding. Due to a complete lack of post-release performance data, the net impact is currently neutral with a rating delta of 0.0. Further observation is required to confirm whether the initialization screen hangs are resolved.
