The previous six month summary, TCEC/CCC 2022-H1 Summary (June 2022), asked,

Stockfish won everything in sight, including its legal dispute with ChessBase. As for unofficial no.2, it seemed to me that LCZero did slightly better overall than Dragon, but this needs to be confirmed with data.

The usual question after preparing a six month summary is, 'Should I continue with the weekly engine posts?' The answer this time is, 'Yes, to resolve the Dragon vs. LCZero question.'
