 ## Dependencies, Refactoring & Documentation
 
+- Fixed `CancellationTokenSource` leak in `IPScanner`, `PortScanner`, `Traceroute`, `PingMonitor`, `PingMonitorHost` and `SNMP` ViewModels. The previous instance was never disposed before being overwritten on each run, leaking the underlying `WaitHandle`. [#3448](https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager/pull/3448)
 - Replace fire-and-forget `.ConfigureAwait(false)` calls with explicit discard assignments (`_ = SomeAsyncOperation()`) across command handlers, startup/load paths and profile callbacks. [#3441](https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager/pull/3441)
 - Code cleanup & refactoring
 - Language files updated via [#transifex](https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager/pulls?q=author%3Aapp%2Ftransifex-integration)
