abstract
In this work, we show that the Cold New Early Dark Energy (Cold NEDE) model in its original form can solve both the Hubble tension and the $S_8$ tension without adding any new ingredients at the fundamental level. So far, it was assumed that the trigger field in the Cold NEDE model is completely subdominant. However, relaxing this assumption and letting the trigger field contribute a mere $0.5\%$ of the total energy density leads to a resolution of the $S_8$ tension while simultaneously improving it as a solution to the $H_0$ tension. Fitting this model to baryonic acoustic oscillations, large-scale-structure, supernovae (including a SH0ES prior), and cosmic microwave background data, we report a preferred NEDE fraction of $f_\mathrm{NEDE}= 0.134^{+0.032}_{-0.025}$ ($68\%$ C.L.), lifting its Gaussian evidence for the first time above $5\sigma$ (up from $4 \sigma$ when the trigger contribution to dark matter is negligible). At the same time, we find the new concordance values $H_0 = 71.71 \pm 0.88 \,\mathrm{km}\, \mathrm{sec}^{-1}\, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ and $S_8 = 0.793 \pm 0.018$. Excluding large-scale structure data and the SH$_0$ES prior, both Gaussian tensions are reduced below the $2 \sigma$ level.

Hubble tension: the shape wall
Late-time modifications to the expansion history can raise H0 by at most about 2% (conservative) to 3.7% (permissive) if the CMB acoustic scale is fixed.

The $H_0$ World Cup. I. Summary of the baseline group stage results
In a systematic head-to-head analysis, early dark energy and early modified gravity models reduce the Hubble tension to about 3σ and are favored over ΛCDM, while radiation and late-time alternatives are not.

Illustrating the consequences of a misuse of $\sigma_8$ in cosmology
Cosmologists should compare clustering amplitude with the h-independent statistic sigma_12 instead of sigma_8, because sigma_8's smoothing scale shifts with H0 and artificially worsens the growth tension in high-H0 models.

Sign Switching in Dark Sector Coupling Interactions as a Candidate for Resolving Cosmological Tensions
A sign-switching dark-sector coupling, fitted to CMB, DESI BAO, and supernova data, can simultaneously raise H0 and lower S8, but the preference over LambdaCDM depends on using SH0ES-calibrated supernovae.

Hubble tension: a short review of theoretical explanations
A comprehensive review finds no theoretical Hubble-tension solution yet passes all consistency tests; new early-dark-energy chains reach high H0 only when the SH0ES calibration is added.

The Hubble tension: A decade review
Pure early or late fixes to the Hubble tension are tightly constrained; remaining options are combined early-late interacting dark energy or new physics at the local-to-homogeneous transition.
