🍃 Add GPS-derived country code to Inquiry Sessions: Inquiry Session resources now include a gps-country-code attribute alongside the existing gps-latitude, gps-longitude, and gps-precision attributes. The value is the uppercase two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code Persona derives by reverse-geocoding the session’s GPS coordinates, such as "US". It’s available wherever Inquiry Sessions appear, including the retrieve an Inquiry Session and list all Inquiry Sessions endpoints, sessions included in Inquiry responses, and the inquiry-session.* and inquiry.* webhook payloads that carry session data. The attribute is null when the session has no GPS coordinates, when reverse geocoding returns no country or fails, and on older sessions recorded before Persona stored this value.
🔒 GPS data is now cleared when an Inquiry Session is redacted: Redacting an Inquiry Session now clears its GPS coordinates, precision, geocoded country and region values, and the stored raw geocoder response, including from the stored copies of previously delivered webhook bodies and events. Inquiry Sessions redacted before this change retain their GPS data.

🍃 Expose per-side capture method for Government ID Verifications: Government ID Verifications now include a capture-methods object reporting how each side of the ID was captured independently, e.g. {"front": "api", "back": null}. The existing capture-method attribute is unchanged. See the Retrieve a Verification endpoint for details.
