## Branch structure note

`prep-release/2.0.12` is reset to `origin/main` + a one-line
`version.json` bump. Diff against `release` (this PR) shows the full
delta from 2.0.11. We deliberately did not use a 2-parent merge commit —
the auto-merge tried to interleave non-overlapping hunks from main's QR
additions with release's QR carve-outs in `activity.ts`, producing a
semantically broken file. Reset-to-main + version bump is the clean way
to express "release should equal main."

## Test plan

- [x] `npm install` clean (post-audit-fix lockfile)
- [x] `npm run build` — 33/33 targets clean
- [x] `npm test` — 14/14 task targets, 279+ tests pass
- [x] E2E echo bot smoke test against `cg-test-bot-py` via canary ABS —
done on `cg/audit-deps-ts` (now merged); covers axios + msal-node code
paths
- [ ] Pipeline Build + Test stages green on `release` after merge
- [ ] Publish pipeline run with **Public** → ESRP → npm
`@microsoft/teams.*@2.0.12`
- [ ] Smoke install: `npm view @microsoft/teams[email protected]` after
publish
