+### Features
+
+- Prevent cross-organization trace continuation (#7705)
+  - By default, the SDK now extracts the organization ID from the DSN (e.g. `o123.ingest.sentry.io`) and compares it with the `sentry-org_id` value in incoming baggage headers. When the two differ, the SDK starts a fresh trace instead of continuing the foreign one. This guards against accidentally linking traces across organizations.
+  - New option `strictTraceContinuation` (default `false`): when enabled, both the SDK's org ID **and** the incoming baggage org ID must be present and match for a trace to be continued. Traces with a missing org ID on either side are rejected.
+  - New option `orgId`: allows explicitly setting the organization ID for self-hosted and Relay setups where it cannot be extracted from the DSN.
