37273727
- Allows the use of a built-in user account when an identity match is found during API bearer authentication. This feature enables automatic association of an incoming IdP identity with an existing built-in user account, bypassing the need for additional user registration steps. This feature only works when the feature flag ``api-bearer-auth`` is also enabled. **Caution: Enabling this feature flag exposes the installation to potential user impersonation issues depending on the specifics of the IdP configured (For example, if it is configured such that an attacker can create a new account in the IdP, or configured social login account, matching a Dataverse built-in account).**

* - avoid-expensive-solr-join
37333733
- Changes the way Solr queries are constructed for public content (published Collections, Datasets and Files). It removes a very expensive Solr join on all such documents, improving overall performance, especially for large instances under heavy load. Before this feature flag is enabled, the corresponding indexing feature (see next feature flag) must be turned on and a full reindex performed (otherwise public objects are not going to be shown in search results). See :doc:`/admin/solr-search-index`.
