 **Bugfixes:**
 
+- Fixed incorrect type declarations for Cypress and Chai globals that asserted them to be local variables of the global scope rather than properties on the global object. Addressed in [#27540](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/27540).
+
 - Fixed an issue where having `cypress.config` in a nested directory would cause problems with locating the `component-index.html` file when using component testing. Fixes [#26400](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26400).

- - Capture the [Azure](https://azure.microsoft.com/) CI provider's environment variable [`SYSTEM_PULLREQUEST_PULLREQUESTNUMBER`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#system-variables-devops-services) to display the linked PR number in the Cloud. Addressed in [#26215](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/26215).
- - Fixed an issue in the onboarding wizard where project framework & bundler would not be auto-detected when opening directly into component testing mode using the `--component` CLI flag. Fixes [#22777](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/22777) and [#26388](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26388).
- - Updated to use the `SEMAPHORE_GIT_WORKING_BRANCH` [Semphore](https://docs.semaphoreci.com) CI environment variable to correctly associate a Cloud run to the current branch. Previously this was incorrectly associating a run to the target branch. Fixes [#26309](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26309).
- - Fix an edge case in Component Testing where a custom `baseUrl` in `tsconfig.json` for Next.js 13.2.0+ is not respected. This was partially fixed in [#26005](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/26005), but an edge case was missed. Fixes [#25951](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/25951).
- - Fixed an issue where `click` events fired on `.type('{enter}')` did not propagate through shadow roots. Fixes [#26392](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26392).
