+
+Added support for CSS exports in package builds. When a package declares a CSS file in its `exports` field (e.g., `"./styles.css": "./src/styles.css"`), the CLI will automatically bundle it during `backstage-cli package build`, resolving any `@import` statements. The export path is rewritten from `src/` to `dist/` at publish time.

+Fixed `backstage-cli repo fix` to not add `typesVersions` entries for non-script exports like CSS files.

+Added optional `channel` option to `generateProjects()` to allow customizing the Playwright browser channel for testing against different browsers variants. When not provided, the function defaults to 'chrome' to maintain backward compatibility.

+Add missing translation entries for catalog UI text.
+
+This change adds translation keys and updates relevant UI components to use the correct localized labels and text in the catalog plugin. It ensures that catalog screens such as entity layout, tabs, search result items, table labels, and other UI elements correctly reference the i18n system for translation.
+
+No functional behavior is changed aside from the improved internationalization support.

+
+**BREAKING**: The `mockApis` namespace is no longer a re-export from `@backstage/test-utils`. It's now a standalone namespace with mock implementations of most core APIs. Mock API instances can be passed directly to `TestApiProvider`, `renderInTestApp`, and `renderTestApp` without needing `[apiRef, impl]` tuples. As part of this change, the `.factory()` method on some mocks has been removed, since it's now redundant.
+
+```tsx
+// Before
+import { mockApis } from '@backstage/frontend-test-utils';
+
+renderInTestApp(<MyComponent />, {
+  apis: [[identityApiRef, mockApis.identity()]],
+});
+
+// After - mock APIs can be passed directly
+renderInTestApp(<MyComponent />, {
+  apis: [mockApis.identity()],
+});
+```
+
+This change also adds `createApiMock`, a public utility for creating mock API factories, intended for plugin authors to create their own `.mock()` variants.
