 ### Fixed

+- Decoding into a struct that embeds a pointer to itself terminates. The
+  schema walk recursed through the embedded type forever, so such a
+  `Unmarshal` call hung the process; the walk now tracks the struct types on
+  the current path and stops when one repeats.
 - An array-of-tables header whose path runs through an inline table
  (`a = {b = {}}` followed by `[[a.b.c]]`) is rejected. The frozen-inline-table
  check covered `[table]` headers and dotted keys but not the intermediate
