There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a future release follows this example, readme.txt will use = Added =, but WhatsNew::collect_highlight_items() only requests the bold **Features** and **Improvements** sections, and extract_bullets() specifically matches bold headings (classes/Services/Notifications/WhatsNew.php:417-418,455-464). Consequently, releases authored in the newly mandated format will produce no feature or improvement highlights in the in-plugin What's New notification; preserve the repository's bold Features/Improvements labels or update the parser as part of this change.

Remove the trailing space from the inline code span.
Markdownlint reports MD038 at Line 13 because Fixed: contains a space inside backticks. Change it to `Fixed:` and keep the prose space outside the code span.
