Bug fixes 🐛
+* :func:`~.ctrl` of a quantum function now forwards ``work_wire_type`` to each inner operator,
+ both with and without program capture.
+ [(#10355)](https://github.com/PennyLaneAI/pennylane/pull/10355)
+
* `qp.cond` can now handle `Operator2` instances being provided instead of branch functions.
While this syntax was supported with tape-based PennyLane, it had never been
properly supported with program capture and Catalyst.
