## AI overview

This April 2025 checkpoint covers Ethereum core development, including the final Pectra deployment details, the finalized scope and testing plans for the Fusaka upgrade, and proposed changes to All Core Developer calls. It also describes process guardrails established after difficult testnet upgrades and the planned history-expiry changes for clients.
