- Clarified that the FinOps toolkit exclusively manages the FinOps hub virtual network and documented customer-managed private endpoints as the preferred private-access topology, with virtual network peering as a secondary option ([#2156](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2156)).
- Replaced redundant `tolower()` comparisons in hub KQL with case-insensitive operators (`has`, `=~`, `!~`) so the engine can use the term index instead of scanning every row ([#2213](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2213)).
- Replaced whole-term `contains` matches with `has` across hub KQL and the query catalog (resource ID paths, licensing phrases, SKU description terms) and added a per-row operator-equivalence regression harness with unit test coverage ([#2220](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/pull/2220)).
- Corrected the Azure Data Explorer SKU price estimates in the FinOps hub deployment UI dropdown (dev/test and production tiers for E2a_v4 and D11_v2) to reflect current Azure pricing; the broader hub cost estimate baseline is still under discussion ([#2229](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2229)).
- **Fixed**
- Fixed managed exports failing with an `Unauthorized` error because the Role Based Access Control Administrator role was never assigned to the Data Factory identity. Roles requested by a hub app are now assigned on the publisher storage account even when the app doesn't create the storage account itself ([#2253](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2253)).
- Fixed private-network deployments that Azure Policy blocked when `defaultOutboundAccess` was omitted. Private mode subnets now set it to `false`, while an Azure Files private endpoint supports deployment-script storage and the NAT Gateway provides required container egress ([#2258](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2258), [#2259](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/pull/2259)).
