Bug Fixes

• pip config debug now correctly separates options as set by the different files at the same level. ([#12099](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12099) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12099>_)

• Ensure truststore feature remains active even when a proxy is also in use. ([#13343](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13343) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13343>_)

• Include sub-commands in tab completion. ([#13140](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13140) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13140>_)

• pip list with the json or freeze format enabled will no longer crash when encountering a package with an invalid version. ([#13345](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13345) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13345>_)

• Provide a hint if a system error is raised involving long filenames or path segments on Windows. ([#13346](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13346) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13346>_)

• Resumed downloads are saved to the HTTP cache like any other normal download. ([#13441](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13441) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13441>_)

• Configured verbosity is consistently forwarded while calling Git during VCS operations. ([#13329](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13329) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13329>_)

• Fix remaining test failures in Python 3.14 by adjusting path_to_url and similar functions. ([#13423](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13423) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13423>_)

• Fix missing network test markings, making the suite pass in offline environments again. ([#13378](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13378) <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13378>_)
