What changed / Was hat sich geändert

Fixed

• Our own documentation said the portal's continuous feed cannot carry a position, while the code that reads one sat two files away — #1378
• The same module justified its manual-only kickoff with a question #923 had already answered — #923
• An endpoint that answers 500 on every attempt of every poll no longer gets four requests for it — #1973 · thanks @indigomejor
• A charging field was deciding whether your doors were locked — #709 #1950 #958 #969 +1
• "All closures secured" reported "not secured" on locked, shut cars — and could never have said otherwise — #1950

Security

• Both places that promise a coordinate is blunted before it leaves your machine could publish a precise one: the diagnostics download and the Vehicle Data Scout — #1378 #1690
• The parking-address lookup sent your exact position, not the blunted one — #60

Notes

• Known issue: the Charging Port sensor can say a plug is connected on a car that is not plugged in — #1739 · thanks @awood-ops

📖 The full account of all 8 changes is in the changelog: CHANGELOG.md → v5.2.3

Each line above is one paragraph there: what broke, how it was measured, and what was deliberately left alone. Written out in full on purpose — for anyone debugging the same thing, and so a summary of this release can be made from the reasoning rather than from the headline.
