v1.19.95

Genesis v1.19.95 Release Notes

September 25, 2026

Coding tasks can now run on a new Sandbox Runner backend, in a dedicated Docker container or Kubernetes Pod, once enabled in Advanced Settings.
Administrators can now snapshot an instance to S3 or Google Cloud Storage and restore it onto Kubernetes, including moving a Snowflake SPCS instance.
Action Review is now the single approvals destination, on by default, and the Requests page lists approvals waiting on you first so you can apply them in place.
Databricks agents can now list Unity Catalog metric views, and changes to a metric view are risk-assessed instead of refused.
Flows can now bulk-copy a whole table into Databricks or SQLite, with substituted values kept safely inside their literal.
A new read-only DataStage 11.7 connector discovers projects and jobs and takes in original DSX exports.
New threads, active threads, and mission kickoff now share a persistent working-context control for choosing a repository or folder, connections, and a model tier.
MCP clients can now hand a task to a Genesis agent with the ask_agent tool, optionally waiting for its answer or stopping it.

If you never chose a coding backend, coding tasks now use the Sandbox Runner, which is off by default; enable it or select claude_code in Advanced Settings.

Action Review now governs more writes, including source-control, warehouse, and Databricks grant changes, and opens each approval with a plain decision brief.
Data Estate Health dashboards now lead with visual comparisons, supported priorities, and affected consumers, keeping detailed evidence in disclosures.
Flow bulk-copy steps can now load directly into Snowflake through a native staged-file loader versus a row-by-row write.
A failed write to an external target now shows the target’s real error and offending column in the Flows UI, with row values masked.
Chat now pins the message that started a turn while you read its answer, and browser tabs show the active thread or mission name.
MCP sign-in now needs one registered callback URL per deployment, and the MCP Gateway page’s Claude Code setup includes an explicit sign-in step.
Foundry migrations now carry over ingestion settings and schedules, and Talend job descriptions return mapping and SQL rule evidence with credentials redacted.
Cost tracking now includes image generation, speech, web search, Cortex, and document parsing, and Pulse Costs shows a waiting message until the first cost summary is ready.

Chat requests that hit provider rate limits now retry automatically within a configurable window, 120 seconds by default, honoring the provider’s suggested delay.
When Snowflake refuses a Cortex model under Model RBAC, Genesis now shows Snowflake’s own remediation guidance instead of a generic error.
The Advanced Settings page now opens in seconds instead of minutes on Snowflake-hosted deployments.
Restricted Caller’s Rights queries now ask users to sign in again when their Snowflake session expires, instead of showing a generic connection error.
Sign-in no longer fails over a trailing-slash issuer mismatch, and MCP sign-in accepts Claude, Cursor, and VS Code callbacks without configuration.
Concurrent bulk copies no longer freeze the server, and the backend now exits within a bounded deadline after a stop signal.
Messages delivered to an idle thread, such as a finished flow or handoff report, now appear within about a second instead of up to 30 seconds.
Flow copies into Databricks no longer strip apostrophes, and bulk copy keeps numeric columns numeric by loading empty strings as NULL.
