Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with consumer groups with manually assigned consumers. When an OffsetDeleteRequest was sent on such a group, a GROUP_SUBSCRIBED_TO_TOPIC error was returned. by @IoannisRP in #26705
• Increase the default self check timeout from 5s to 10s to leave time to retry DNS lookups if they time out during a self check operation. by @pgellert in #26775
• Resolves a memory leak scenario in node_status_backend by resetting connections which make no progress by @joe-redpanda in #26802
• Return the correct error response if the RPC to the leader for deleting ACLs fails. by @BenPope in #26785
• This fixes a bug in Redpanda's self-check functionality, where the self-check would occasionally fail with 'Uploaded key/payload could not be found in cloud storage item list.' despite the object being successfully uploaded. This issue occurred when testing against an Azure ABS tiered storage endpoint. by @pgellert in #26728
• #26739 Fixes a bug in which a segment produced by adjacent merge compaction did not have its batch cache reset, leading to potentially stale reads in the storage layer. by @WillemKauf in #26741
• #26820 Fixes a bug where data loss could occur during FPM w/ tiered storage disabled by @oleiman in #26821
