# v1.18.2

> Genesis Data Agents v1.18.2 release notes — April 3, 2026

## v1.18.2 — April 3, 2026

### Access-control improvements, stronger data workflows, Twin lineage upgrades, and more reliable chat operations

#### RBAC and Access Governance

Role-based access flows were expanded and clarified so administrators can manage permissions with fewer surprises.

* Role checks are now enforced more consistently across chat and management workflows.
* Role setup now surfaces agents directly in the create-role flow.
* Bot creation from chat now requires the appropriate role configuration.
* Legacy user-management views now return complete user lists more reliably.
* API key management and AWS authentication setup were streamlined, with clearer Genesis Apps access behavior.

#### Connectors, Data Delivery, and OAuth Experience

Connection setup and data-delivery behavior were improved to reduce friction in day-to-day operations.

* Linear connectivity was added with both API key and OAuth support.
* JAMS integration behavior and scheduler support were expanded for scheduling workflows.
* Slack integration reliability and throughput were improved for higher-volume event delivery.
* Large query handling now behaves more predictably, with clearer truncation behavior for oversized results.
* Enhancement bundle and artifact download links now resolve more consistently across environments.
* Thread PDF exports now use standardized ISO-8601 timestamps for easier cross-system auditing.

#### Repository and File Workflow Improvements

Repository and file workflows were hardened to reduce file-handling errors and improve usability.

* File move and copy operations now handle nested paths more reliably.
* UTF-16 encoded files are now handled correctly in read and search workflows.
* Multi-file read support was added to speed up repository review and analysis tasks.
* Repository tooling now provides safer branch behavior and clearer search feedback.

#### Twin and Lineage Workflow Upgrades

Twin setup and lineage workflows were improved to make configuration clearer and ingestion more resilient.

* Lineage source registration now uses an explicit opt-in model for better control.
* Twin configuration now includes guided pickers for Git repositories and Snowflake databases.
* Registered lineage sources can now be removed directly from configuration screens.
* Lineage extraction coverage expanded with SQL lineage and execution-flow lineage support.
* Ingestion reliability improved through retry handling, faster indexing, and clearer scan error visibility.
* Startup and migration paths were improved to simplify onboarding for existing Twin environments.

#### Blueprint and Mission Creation Experience

Blueprint and mission-creation workflows were expanded to make setup faster and easier for non-technical users.

* Blueprint creation now includes a guided recommendation wizard and full-page mission creation flow.
* Blueprint library cards now provide clearer previews and short descriptions for faster discovery.
* Flow scheduling inputs were hardened so cron-based schedules save more reliably.

#### Data Layer and SQLAlchemy Modernization

Data and metadata handling were improved for better consistency across environments and large workloads.

* Dataset responses now expose clearer truncation metadata while preserving compatibility with legacy filters.
* Context graph data compatibility was improved for mixed and migrated environments.
* Blueprint list performance improved in role-restricted environments.
* Startup and background processing were optimized to reduce latency during active usage.

#### Chat, Handoff, and UI Reliability

Thread continuity and chat reliability were improved across handoff, restore, and active-conversation flows.

* Thread compression and recovery now preserve conversation continuity more reliably.
* Message ordering and heartbeat handling were improved for restores and reconnects.
* Cross-thread message bleed and thread-archive restoration edge cases were fixed.
* Active-thread scrolling and thread-switch recovery behavior were improved.
* Stuck-thread recovery controls were added to improve operational resilience.
* Web-content authentication and error visibility were improved during chat-assisted workflows.

#### Administration and Platform Operations

Administrative and platform controls were expanded to improve setup and ongoing operations.

* Frontend API authentication token handling is now more reliable.
* API and thread access hardening expanded with stronger PAT-based authentication behavior.
* Sandbox profiles can now be created, edited, and managed directly in the UI.
* AWS connection options now include assume-role and IRSA/Pod Identity authentication paths.

#### Upgrade Notes

Upgrade from `v1.16.2-rc.8` to `v1.18.2` includes broad access-control, data-workflow, Twin-lineage, and reliability changes. Validate role mappings, connection configurations, lineage source setup, and thread workflows in lower environments before production rollout.
