Make 5.0.2 patch?
### Describe the feature you would like to be implemented.
There have been several commits since 5.0.1 which I think would be nice for a 5.0.2 release. I wrote a little script to cherry pick the commits from 5.0.1 into a 5.0.2 branch which you can find below.
### Why Would such a feature be useful for other users?
Since 5.0.1, there have been a number of small bug fixes which I think would be nice to officially expose to users.
Using claude I wrote a little script that can make a new branch, cherry picks commits, and then runs the tests after each commit see [here](https://gist.github.com/SteveBronder/474845f6673100e9928872a407244362) for the script and csv of commits I added to 5.0.2. [patches_502.csv](https://gist.github.com/SteveBronder/474845f6673100e9928872a407244362#file-patches_502-csv) has all of the commits that I am suggesting for this patch version (though I am open to adding / removing any!)
I ran the script with the following and had to resolve issues with one commit (61895c5978). I am running the tests now locally and can ping whenever they pass
```
python3 ./apply_patches.py --patches ./patches_502.csv --base bc3b3987 \
--build-dir build --detect-simd -j16 \
--branch proposed-release/5.0.2 --apply --configure --resolve > err.log 2>&1 |
```
