 - No longer assert/miscompile when trying to make a vectorized ``_BitInt`` type
   using the ``ext_vector_type`` attribute (the ``vector_size`` attribute was
   already properly diagnosing this case).
+- Fixed a crash-on-valid with consteval evaluation of a list-initialized
+  constructor for a temporary object. This fixes
+  `Issue 55871 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/55871>`_.
