 - Avoid forking `rootScopes` for Reactor if current thread has `NoOpScopes` ([#4793](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/4793))
   - This reduces the SDKs overhead by avoiding unnecessary scope forks
+- Discard envelopes on `4xx` and `5xx` response ([#4950](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/4950))
