The other items in this list use 3rd person verbs ("Adds" rather than "Add") so these should all be updated to relfect that

I worry that some of these are not relevant to expose to end users, but I'm not sure who would be the right person to validate this list

best guess (lots of bad assumptions though)

I think this raises a lot of questions about what types of changes we want to expose in these release notes - do we expose refactoring that has a positive impact on the performance of the product? do we expose info related to shards (not a serverless concept)? or do we only list things that the user can go use? do we perhaps categorize these so the list is a little more parseable?

Add relevant attributes to search took time APM metrics #134232

[ML] Adding headers support for OpenAI chat completion #134504
* Extend kibana-system permissions to manage security entities #133968
* Track shardStarted events for simulation in DesiredBalanceComputer #133630
* Add file extension metadata to cache miss counter from SharedBlobCacheService #134374

Remove ingest conditionals _type deprecation warning #134851 (sounds like a bug fix)

Allow including semantic field embeddings in _source #134717

Integrate weights into simplified RRF retriever syntax #132680

DLM: Better max_age rollover for tiny retentions #134941

ES|QL: add support for include_execution_metadata parameter #134446

ESQL: Add telemetry support for Lookup Join On Expression #134942 (this might be missing from other docs?)

Improve block loader for source only runtime fields of type keyword #135026

Optimize BytesArray::indexOf, which is used heavily in ndjson parsing #135087

Make SecureString comparisons constant time #135053

ESQL: URL encoding changes #134503

Add new /_security/stats endpoint #134835

Have last source shard to complete remove reshard metadata
* Add a monitor for estimated heap usage

The list was reviewed by engineering so will default to their opinion. I think we can probably look at categorizing the serverless changelog for sure at some point when more and more changes end up showing up.
