Genesis v1.19.97 Release Notes

October 9, 2026

​
Highlights

  • GPT-6 models, including Sol, Astra, and Luna, now get a 900K-token context window on OpenAI, Azure, and LiteLLM routes, up from 400K.
  • Sandboxed code can now run on Azure Container Instances, including from the Snowflake Native App, for customers without AWS.
  • Genesis can now register tables, columns, tags, metric views, and domains into Unity Catalog’s governed semantic layer.
  • Genesis can now generate, publish, list, read, and delete Lakeflow Designer visual flows.
  • Warehouse scans now write wiki pages, giving warehouse-only estates subgraph documents and an overview page.
  • Administrators can set up Okta directory sync from Settings, including polling for private networks that Okta’s SCIM push cannot reach.
  • Prover can produce a signed proof report for an approved comparison that readers outside Genesis can verify.

​
Upgrade Notes

  • Operators now grant administrator access with the genesis grant-admin command; administrator access can no longer be claimed from within the app.
  • On Snowflake, accept the app’s SNOWFLAKE database grant and approve Action Review as a person; service-type users can no longer approve, and new approvers wait 2h15m.
  • Grant the manage skills permission to users who run skills, and view access on each repository whose files they read.
  • Recheck custom skill templates that quote input placeholders; on root installs, remove LFS, filter, credential, HTTP, and submodule settings from repositories agents use.
  • To keep your own Snowflake QUERY_TAG for dbt builds Genesis runs, set query_tag in the dbt profile; Genesis now sets its own tag by default.
  • Update custom blueprints: move phase-level instructions into the phase description, and limit required-check scripts to installed packages.

​
Improvements

  • Cost tracking now breaks spending down by operation, origin, and call type, and shows records outside the total.
  • With auto-promote on sync off, synced blueprint changes wait for an administrator; a Versions tab promotes or rolls back.
  • Power BI scans now capture schema and lineage through the Power BI Scanner API.
  • Sign-in pages can offer additional OIDC identity providers alongside the primary identity provider.
  • Prover decision packages approve in about a second with progress shown on every open page.
  • Prover can now check a rewritten Snowflake view that reads tables from several databases.
  • GenesisAuditor is now a built-in agent that cannot be edited; the first start after upgrading restores its shipped definition.
  • Running Genesis Apps restart after a Genesis restart, and the dashboard uses a unified header; opt out with apps.autostart_after_restart or features.unified_chrome set to false.

​
Bug Fixes

  • On Snowflake, Genesis keeps database sessions steady under load and confirms each configuration table at startup before creating it.
  • On Cortex, long replies are no longer cut off, so creating a blueprint from existing threads works again.
  • GitHub connections with a github.com address in the Enterprise URL no longer break repository tools.
  • On per-user ServiceNow connections, an approved change is now made as the requesting user, not the approver.
  • Databricks scans now restore table lineage for views and report when lineage inputs could not be read.
  • File access is limited to approved storage roots, and exports and downloads exclude repository .git folders.

​
Preview (opt-in)

  • Outposts now use a Genesis-native tunnel, work in the Snowflake Native App, and get a per-Outpost key; Outpost 0.7.0 or later is required.
  • With skill revision tracking on, managed skill sources can be pinned to a release after reviewing its diff, with alerts for new releases.
  • Coming soon: Genesis as a native Databricks App, in active development and not yet generally available.
