- Added `sv.mask_to_roi` as an explicit migration path for exclusive mask bounds
- Fixed COCO, CreateML, and Pascal VOC export validation to reject ambiguous or colliding dataset paths before writing
- Fixed in-memory `DetectionDataset` split and merge behavior
- Fixed `supervision` imports to avoid loading ByteTrack until it is used
- Fixed detection conversion helpers to support coordinate-convention migration while preserving legacy inclusive defaults
- Fixed Azure tag mapping, anchor rounding, and line-zone smoothing to avoid incorrect or ghost detections
- Fixed video processing shutdown handling for timeout and full-queue cases
- Improved downloader, validator, documentation, and regression coverage for the shipped dataset, detection, annotator, image, and video behavior

- Improved `Detections.merge()` to preserve `CompactMask` output when merging dense and compact masks by converting dense masks to compact form, avoiding unnecessary full-mask materialization while keeping all-dense and all-compact behavior unchanged.
- Added validation to mixed-mask merging that raises `ValueError` when compact masks have inconsistent image shapes or dense mask dimensions do not match the compact mask image size.
- Added the public `CompactMask.image_shape` property for safe access to compact mask dimensions.
- Updated `Detections.merge()` documentation to describe mixed-mask merge behavior, output types, validation errors, the lossy dense-to-compact conversion outside detection bounding boxes, and that NMS/NMM pairwise operations do not preserve `CompactMask`.
- Added a comprehensive "Use Compact Masks" how-to guide covering compact mask ingestion, inference, annotator mask requirements, and mixed-mask merging, and integrated it into the documentation navigation.
