Some changes (e.g. those regarding Content Security Policy, referrer policy, secure context, ...) might be of interest for Cypht:

I will check it out, thanks for the heads up! I wonder what the state of supporting HTML 5.2 is with current browsers?

We can't currently rely on that, but we should take these small enhancements and changes into account. If I'm not mistaken, most (all?) of them could be selectively checked for availability though.

I'm not sure about that, I would have to dig into the spec to better understand what the new features are (and it's definitely possible some cannot be checked for availability since in certain cases that could be a security issue). It's also possible that new features will degrade properly or be ignored in which case we could implement them and "set it and forget it". I'm definitely interested in any thing new that increases security. When I have a chance to dig into it more I will let you know!
