 BUG FIXES:
 
+ * core: Fix generate-root operations requiring empty `otp` to be provided
+   instead of an empty body [GH-5495]
  * secret/pki: Fix regression in 0.11.2+ causing the NotBefore value of
    generated certificates to be set to the Unix epoch if the role value was not
    set, instead of using the default of 30 seconds [GH-5481]
