Note

Medium Risk
Moderate risk because it adds a new PATCH /auth/connections/{id} client method and new request/response fields in the managed-auth flow, which may affect integrators and generated typings. Other changes are primarily documentation/comment updates and CI trigger tweaks.

Overview
Releases v0.44.0 (version bumps, manifest/changelog updates, refreshed .stats.yml).

Expands the managed auth surface area by adding client.auth.connections.update() (PATCH /auth/connections/{id}) plus new types (ManagedAuthUpdateRequest/ConnectionUpdateParams) and flow fields to support CUA-style interactions: sign_in_options in state/events and sign_in_option_id/sso_provider in submit params.

Updates browser-related docs/types to clarify GPU acceleration constraints (headful-only) and to document new GPU viewport default/preset guidance, and exposes smoother drag behavior via ComputerDragMouseParams (smooth, duration_ms).

Tweaks CI workflow push branch filtering to run on most branches while excluding generated/preview branches except codegen/stl/**.
