## Argument
I focused mainly on proof of personhood with George and Michal. Part of this work is now [public](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/8164).
In this PR I implemented the origin restriction pallet, it is a pallet to limit usage of certain origins. This will be used to restrict usage from recognized people and also candidates for some DIM.
I implemented the transaction extension in the people pallet, those transaction extension allows to authenticate as a personal id or as an alias. I also implemented the replay protection.
I reviewed work from George and Michal for the other part of the pallet.

Apart from proof of personhood, I reviewed several PRs in polkadot-sdk, submitted minor ones, and reviewed the upgrade of runtimes to version 2412.

I continued working on the transaction extension horizon. [A PR](https://github.com/paritytech/parity-scale-codec/pull/715) is currently open, aimed at simplifying the migration of unsigned transactions to general transactions, which is undergoing an audit. [Another PR](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/6325) migrates some existing unsigned transactions in polkadot-sdk to general transactions in a backward-compatible manner.
