Platform Release Notes
Platform
View full release notes →Security & User Management
- Fixed an issue where Personal Access Tokens (PATs) and API Keys remained active after a user was deleted; they are now automatically removed upon user deletion.

- Fixed an issue where API deletion requests returned incorrect responses for users with limited view permissions on users or user groups.
User Interface & Experience
- Introduced Platform Alerts, an in-app notification system that displays critical account events, such as resource limits and system release announcements, directly within the UI.
- Fixed a UI issue on the resource group details page where the Resource Scope dropdown displayed an incorrect value after its associated project or organization was deleted.
API & Billing Updates
- Improved the reliability of the Purchase Credits API by making database operations atomic and enhancing logging for credit reset and overage operations.
- Updated the API documentation to accurately reflect that the end-impersonation endpoint returns a successful status even when no active session exists.
System Reliability
- Resolved a race condition to improve overall system stability and ensure consistent platform behavior.
- Restored missing system configurations to ensure proper background platform functionality.
Delegate
View full release notes →Connectors & Integrations
- Improved Terraform Provider connector validation to use the connector's designated delegate selector, preventing validation failures when Git connectors and secrets managers use different delegates.
- Configured Continuous Verification (CV) data collection connectors to respect proxy bypass settings when a delegate proxy is configured.

- Fixed an issue where AWS Secrets Manager defaulted to the region name instead of the correct URL format in newer AWS regions.
- Fixed OCI Helm chart validation failures when pulling charts from AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) by ensuring the manifest base path is correctly retained.
Artifacts & Triggers
- Updated pull request triggers to fail early with a clear error message if API access is not enabled on the associated Git connector, preventing silent failures.
- Resolved an issue where Amazon S3 artifact triggers failed with an invalid server error following a delegate upgrade.
- Fixed intermittent failures in custom artifact polling during parallel stage executions by ensuring unique temporary filenames are used.
- Improved artifact triggers to gracefully handle missing packages at creation time instead of failing permanently.
Task Execution & Infrastructure
