Release metadata for 2.23.1: product-train → 2.23.1, and the CHANGELOG Unreleased section moves under 2.23.1 with entries for every fix merged since 2.23.0:

• Protect embedded saga compensation from cooperative cancellation #872 (Run embedded saga compensation under a cancellation shield #1077): saga compensation under a cancellation shield
• Deliver accepted updates before a run completes, as signals are #890 (Deliver an update accepted during the closing task before the run completes #1078): an update accepted during the closing task is delivered before close
• Define per-call maxAttempts zero and list every activity option field #860 (Refuse a new activity attempt budget below one #1079): new maxAttempts below 1 refused, and older recorded-0 histories keep replaying
• Flag the replay-unsafe calls the boot scan misses, and name what no scan can catch #888 (Flag implicit current-time date constructors and shuffles in the determinism scan #1080): determinism scan catches implicit current-time constructors and shuffles
• Enforce payload and pending-count limits on service-mode commands and start input #865 (Apply payload size limits to service-mode worker commands #1083): payload size limit for service-mode worker commands

#1082 (full unit suite on PRs) is CI-only.

Why a patch: all of these are fixes. #860 refuses maxAttempts 0 or below for new activities. That input was documented to mean unlimited but silently ran one attempt, and existing histories keep replaying under General's decision on #860. No migration, history format or dependency floor change.

After merge: tag 2.23.1 on the merge commit once main is green, let release-verification.yml run, then publish the GitHub Release and close #872, #890, #860 and #888.

Main build 43068410942 was green after #1085 raised the PostgreSQL shard budget; the earlier b38d17c run timed out with no failed tests. release verification 43072417219 passed: package plus Laravel 12 on PHP 8.2/8.3/8.4 and Laravel 13 on PHP 8.3/8.4. Packagist source and dist match b9017ab. The GitHub Release is Latest. Consumers are as for 2.23.0 (#1075): no downstream change needed. #865 stays open for its remaining payload sites.
