This release supersedes v4.4.0-alpha.3-jito and contains an important Alpenglow fix. Operators using v4.4.0-alpha.3-jito should upgrade to v4.4.0-alpha.3-jito.1.
Based on v4.4.0-alpha.3-jito, with #1620 applied.
Fix production validator builds accidentally enabling dev-context-only-utils (DCOU), which can activate test-only Alpenglow settings. Production compilation now uses the same package exclusions as the DCOU check, keeping those settings out of production binaries.
