Thank you for your contributions!
 
 - feat(browser)!: `browser.navigation.type` on web vital and bfcache navigation spans now carries the navigation type exactly as web-vitals reports it. `bfcache` is now `back-forward-cache`, and a back/forward navigation that missed the bfcache (`back-forward`) or a discarded-tab restore (`restore`) is no longer folded into `navigate`. Update any dashboards or alerts filtering on `bfcache`.
+- feat(browser): The pageload span now carries `browser.navigation.type`, the navigation type web-vitals reported TTFB and FCP for. Those vitals, and FP, are attributes of the pageload span rather than spans of their own, so until now there was no navigation type to read them against.
 - feat(core): Add `createFetchIntegration`, the shared implementation behind the global-`fetch` integrations in `@sentry/bun`, `@sentry/cloudflare`, `@sentry/deno` and `@sentry/vercel-edge`. Those four packages carried four copies of it; they now share one. Two changes come out of that:
   - All four gain a `tracePropagation` option (default `true`). Turn it off to stop injecting `sentry-trace` and `baggage` without also turning off spans. To scope propagation to specific URLs, keep using `tracePropagationTargets` in the client options.
   - Integration options now follow the client. Previously a second `Sentry.init()` in the same process silently reused the options of the first one.
