Impact Summary

The impact of this release is minimal and focused on user interface improvements. Toggle cards now appear in a closed state by default, which creates a cleaner initial view in the admin interface. This change was implemented in response to user feedback (referenced in GitHub issue TryGhost/Team#1209) and aims to make the interface less overwhelming by hiding expandable content until users choose to view it. No functionality has been removed or altered - users can still access all the same features by clicking to expand the toggle cards.
