Dear Iroha Community,

Here are some highlights on our progress over the past two weeks:

• Support for custom instructions via executor upgrades has landed. This allows users to expand the instruction set beyond the built-in ISI.
• Genesis signing has been removed from Iroha: the signed genesis block is now provided on startup. This simplifies network initialization, ensures consistent configuration, and improves consensus security.

• feat(client cli): extend client cli to request json queries (#4684)
