How about we ask for general issues here first? [he says
pessimistically...wanting to guide the community]

I'll be mentioning an export filename regression, after my sleep roster...

Where should we report suggestions or test files?
I tend to define my files as a series of modules, with a set of tests which determine what gets modeled where, so the line #s which are pulled up are all from that testing block, not to the module in question (which would be preferable):
Pointing to the Sides module or the line it is called from (355), rather than line 342 where the overall test is would be more helpful --- the presence of the other instances makes it seem as though this could be improved:

Tiny bug: In the customizer, when you have a slider, if you drag the slider,
it correctly renders the image, but if you click in the slider to step the
value, it won't. If I press F5 after clicking in the slider, it goes back to
the pre-click value.

Those should go to github once they are clear enough
to describe. That means a good explanation of what would
be expected from user side so anyone can understand the
request just by reading the posted issue.

I have already raised a github issue that the customiser slider is broken.
I am surprised the release was made before addressing that regression.

I think the issue is that projection() extracts a slice of geometry (of
potentially many sub-bits), it would be difficult to tag particular sections
of the projection with the (potentially many) parts that contributed to its
output.
I haven't tried, but I expect minkowski() will have the same issue.
