   Implemented the versioned Latest Features navigation hide preference for this issue.

   Summary:

   • Added per-user latestFeaturesHiddenVersion support so Latest Features nav entries stay hidden only for the current app version.
   • Applied the hide behavior to both user-facing Support > Latest Features entries and the admin sidebar Admin Settings > Latest Features entry.
   • Added Profile Settings restore controls and local static JS for the ellipsis hide actions.
   • Added is_development=true as a development-only env override that hides the nav entries when explicitly true; unset/false/non-true values do not affect normal behavior.
   • Bumped the app version to v0.250.058 and added release notes.

   Validation:

   • Python compile passed for changed Python and test files.
   • node --check application/single_app/static/js/latest-features-nav.js passed.
   • Changed Jinja templates parsed successfully.
   • functional_tests/test_latest_features_nav_hide_preference.py passed.
   • functional_tests/test_admin_latest_features_tab.py passed.
   • functional_tests/test_latest_features_action_links.py passed.
   • ui_tests/test_latest_features_nav_hide_preference.py skipped cleanly when no authenticated Playwright storage state was configured.
   • git diff --check passed.

   PR-readiness update for the Latest Features navigation hide preference work.

   Summary:

   • Confirmed feature/hide_latest_features contains the latest origin/Development.
   • Aligned Latest Features test and release-note version markers with config.py version 0.250.059.
   • Added feature documentation at docs/explanation/features/LATEST_FEATURES_NAVIGATION_HIDE_PREFERENCE.md.
   • Committed cleanup locally as 783db97c docs: align latest features PR readiness assets.

   Validation passed:

   • git diff --check origin/Development...HEAD
   • git diff --check
   • Python compile check for application/single_app and changed tests
   • python scripts/check_swagger_routes.py for changed Python route/application files
   • Route policy inventory, unauthenticated policy contract, and route policy coverage tests
   • XSS changed-line sink scan
   • Broken access-control changed-line scan
   • node --check application/single_app/static/js/latest-features-nav.js
   • functional_tests/test_latest_features_action_links.py
   • functional_tests/test_latest_features_nav_hide_preference.py

   Skipped/gap:

   • ui_tests/test_latest_features_nav_hide_preference.py ran but skipped because local SIMPLECHAT_UI_BASE_URL and authenticated Playwright storage state were not configured.

   Security notes:

   • No changed paths matched .env, secret, token, session, connection-string, storage-key, or generated local artifact patterns.
   • Route decorator/policy, XSS, and broken-access-control checks passed.

   Shipped in v0.250.059 via #1051.

   Release note entries:

   • v0.250.059: Versioned Latest Features Navigation Hide Preference

   Full notes: https://microsoft.github.io/simplechat/explanation/release_notes/

   Closing as completed. This issue stayed open after the fix merged because pull requests target Development while the repository default branch is main, so GitHub never applied the Fixes # keyword automatically.
