Kill Bill keeps hardening invoice reliability on its mature 0.24 line

billingopen-sourceinvoicingreliabilitymaintenanceobservability
◆Current state
Kill Bill is in steady maintenance on the 0.24.x branch. Recent releases concentrate on invoice-failure handling — retries, account parking, and uniform WARN logging — plus catalog and subscription edge-case fixes. This is reliability work on a mature open-source billing core.
◆Where it's heading
The arc is operational robustness rather than new features: making invoice processing fail predictably, tightening lock-failure retries, and improving observability. A platform whose users run it as critical billing infrastructure rewards exactly this.
◆Prediction
Expect continued 0.24.x point releases focused on invoicing/catalog correctness and logging, with no major architectural shift in the near term.
