 ### Fixes
 
 - Backfill release, environment, distribution, tags, and app version/build—and use the matching replay-on-error sample rate—for `ApplicationExitInfo` ANR and native crash events captured before SDK initialization, without reusing options cached by a later app update ([#5762](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5762))
+- `SentryTagModifierNode.isImportantForBounds` now matches the default behavior and returns `true` ([#5789](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/pull/5789))
