- Add `missing_dso_allowlist` and `runpath_allowlist` as preferred recipe keys and function parameters - Deprecate old `missing_dso_whitelist` and `runpath_whitelist` keys/params using the deprecations framework (pending in 26.9, removal in 27.3) - Old keys/parameters still accepted for backward compatibility - Rename internal variables and constants from whitelist to allowlist - Update documentation to use inclusive terminology - Update rpm skeleton template to use new key name Backward compatibility: - Both old and new recipe keys are supported in FIELDS validation - Function parameters accept both old (deprecated) and new names - New keys/params take precedence when both are specified - Existing recipes and callers continue to work with deprecation warnings Partially resolves #4540
