• Added support for per-workflow VLM settings, allowing individual workflow nodes to customize prompts, frame sampling, output limits, reasoning effort, and timeouts without changing deployment-wide defaults
• Expanded Azure OpenAI reasoning effort options with new xhigh support
• Improved request isolation so workflow-specific model settings and timeouts do not affect other runs or shared deployment configuration
• Added stronger validation and fallback handling for invalid workflow node settings, preventing bad inputs from disrupting processing
• Improved timeout handling across fetching, model requests, and full workflow processing for more predictable execution behavior
• Enhanced privacy protections by ensuring credential-bearing workflow parameters are never echoed back in results or logs

Hub Frontend

• Added a configurable workflow Start experience with customizable fields, trigger modes, scheduling, and connection controls driven by deployment-provided contracts
• Introduced smarter workflow condition building with guided field selection, typed inputs, upstream stage context, and support for matching related values within the same detected object
• Redesigned workflow connection panels to organize settings, schedules, and conditions into structured sections with improved handling of retained and read-only values
• Improved workflow editor reliability by validating stage and Start contracts defensively, preserving unavailable nodes safely, and preventing invalid workflow graph configurations
• Expanded workflow stage settings with richer input types, validation, defaults, multiselect support, and improved handling of secret and optional values
• Updated workflow editing interactions so inspectors open only on deliberate selection, reducing accidental panel changes while dragging or placing nodes
• Improved marker labeling across analytics views and detail panels to show classification-aware names consistently
• Optimized device status polling so navigation badges update efficiently without continuously loading full device lists on unrelated pages
• Improved device navigation status indicators to use lightweight online/total device statistics for faster and more accurate badge updates
• Refined audit page pagination styling and responsiveness for a more consistent experience across screen sizes

Hub Cleanup

• Added optional deployment-wide retention controls for workflow_runs, allowing old workflow execution records to expire independently of media retention policies
• Improved workflow run cleanup accuracy for legacy and current timestamp formats, preventing runs from being retained or deleted incorrectly
• Increased cleanup batch size defaults to improve performance and throughput on large datasets
• Reduced database overhead during cleanup by optimizing delete operations and workflow run indexing behavior
• Improved index migration handling so outdated indexes are safely replaced without interrupting cleanup operations

Pipeline Monitor

• Reduced unnecessary device latestMedia updates by throttling refreshes to once every 5 minutes by default, improving stability and database efficiency during high recording activity
• Added support for configuring the latest-media refresh interval with LATEST_MEDIA_UPDATE_INTERVAL_SECONDS, including an option to update on every recording
• Improved reliability of latest-media tracking so delayed recordings no longer overwrite newer device activity
• Automatically recovers from invalid future-dated latest-media timestamps to prevent devices getting stuck with stale activity
• Optimized stored device latest-media snapshots to keep only essential media details while preserving the latest recording context for readers
• Added explicit reporting when a latest-media update is skipped due to throttling instead of treating it as a failed write

Pipeline Notification

• Improved notification processing performance by reducing the amount of data loaded during duplicate detection checks
• Reduced alert lookup payload sizes by excluding large site and group assets, improving efficiency for notification delivery
• Prevented sensitive site and storage credential details from being included in notification and webhook-related data lookups
• Fixed an issue where private alert configurations could unintentionally affect alert execution during rollout scenarios

Pipeline Analysis

• Improved pipeline performance and reduced database bandwidth usage when resolving site vault credentials
• Reduced unnecessary data retrieval during site vault lookups, improving efficiency for recordings linked to sites with large metadata payloads
• Improved reliability of site vault resolution logic with additional safeguards around credential field handling

Pipeline Thumbnail

• Improved service reliability by allowing thumbnail processing to continue even when tracing or telemetry connections are unavailable
• Reduced startup failures caused by tracing configuration issues, improving resilience in environments without telemetry endpoints

Pipeline Sprite

• Improved service reliability by allowing the application to continue running even when tracing services are unavailable
• Added graceful fallback behavior for tracing, preventing startup failures when telemetry endpoints cannot be reached

Vault

• Added per-storage-provider URL signing controls, allowing each provider to use either Vault-signed URLs or direct provider presigned URLs independently of the global setting
• Vault-signed URLs can now fully hide underlying storage endpoints from clients on a per-provider basis
• Added URL signing configuration options to the storage provider management UI and API
• Improved validation for storage provider signing settings with clearer error handling for unsupported modes
