+Subject: [PATCH] fix: Sync `info_ptr->palette` unconditionally after in-place
+ transforms
+
+The palette sync in `png_read_transform_info` was guarded by
+`if (transformations != 0)`, but the palette-modifying transforms clear
+their own bits before this function gets to run. When one of these was
+the sole transform, the guard was false and the sync was skipped, which
+caused `png_get_PLTE` to return stale palette data.
+
+Drop this guard.
+
+This was a regression from commit c1b0318b39 (version 1.6.56).
