### Browse Your Data Universe: New Git Browser, Data Lineage Visualization & Dashboard Power-Ups

#### 🗂️ New Git Browser Tab

Explore all your Git repositories directly from the Genesis UI with the new top-level Git Browser tab.

* **Tree-based file explorer** with lazy loading and syntax highlighting

* **Download anything** — individual files, entire folders as ZIP, or complete repositories
* **State persistence** — remembers your expanded folders and selected files when switching tabs
* **Shareable links** — copy full URLs to share files with teammates
* **In-place markdown navigation** — click relative links in markdown files to navigate within the viewer, with back button support

#### 🔗 Interactive Data Lineage Visualization

The Digital Twin page now features a real-time, interactive data lineage graph to help you understand how your data flows through systems.

* **Multi-level visualization** — switch between System, Container, Collection, and Asset views
* **Interactive exploration** — hover to highlight connected nodes, click for details
* **Drill-down navigation** — explore aggregated nodes in detail
* **Smart prefetching** — adjacent levels are cached for instant switching
* **Source-system color coding** — quickly identify Snowflake, Git, Tableau, Salesforce, and other data sources

#### 📊 Dashboard Performance & Developer Experience

Dashboards now support server-side pagination for large datasets and auto-refresh during development.

* **Server-Side Row Model (SSRM)** — AG Grids now handle pagination, filtering, and sorting on the server for millions of rows
* **Staged vs. Live modes** — switch between local SQLite cache and live database queries at runtime
* **Auto-refresh on code changes** — standalone dashboards automatically reload when you edit them
* **Better DML/DDL handling** — INSERT, UPDATE, CREATE statements now display results correctly
* **Filesystem-driven listing** — dashboards always appear correctly in SPCS deployments

(From: [#2592](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2592), [#2599](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2599), [#2659](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2659), [#2636](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2636), [#2602](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2602))

#### 🖼️ Enhanced Image Handling

Working with images in Genesis is now more intuitive with preview support and smarter AI integration.

* **Image thumbnails** in the file uploader and chat messages
* **Click-to-preview modal** for quick image inspection
* **Auto-selects native vision APIs** — automatically uses Bedrock or Cortex vision capabilities when available
* **Improved error handling** — clearer messages when image analysis isn't available

(From: [#2634](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2634))

***

#### 📈 Smarter Plotly Charts

Create data-driven visualizations more easily with automatic column reference resolution.

* **Dynamic color gradients** — use column values to drive marker colors automatically
* **Generic column resolution** — any trace property (marker.color, marker.size, text, etc.) can reference query columns
* **PDF export support** — charts with query references render correctly in exported PDFs
* **SHOW command support** — `SHOW TABLES` and similar commands now work correctly in query results

(From: [#2597](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2597), [#2595](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2595))

***

#### 🔧 Jenkins CI/CD Integration

Genesis agents can now interact with your Jenkins servers to manage builds and deployments.

* **List jobs** — see all available Jenkins jobs
* **Trigger builds** — start builds with parameters directly from chat
* **Monitor status** — check build progress and results
* **Configuration UI** — manage Jenkins credentials from the dashboard

(From: [#2630](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2630))

***

#### 🎨 System Theme Support

Your Genesis UI now follows your OS dark/light mode preference automatically.

* **Three theme options**: Light, Dark, or System (follows OS preference)
* **Dynamic updates** — theme changes instantly when you switch OS settings
* **System mode default** for new users

(From: [#2522](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2522))

***

#### ⚙️ Configuration & Security Improvements

New configuration options give you more control over system behavior and security.

* **LLM timeout configuration** — set call timeouts (default 300s) and retry counts via config instead of environment variables
* **Message size limits** — configurable maximum message size (default 16KB) with clear user feedback
* **Rate limiting enabled by default** — improved defaults (300 req/min, 50 burst) protect against abuse
* **Instance name tracking** — identify your Genesis instance in metrics and monitoring

(From: [#2664](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2664), [#2662](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2662), [#2628](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2628), [#2642](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2642))

***

#### 🚀 Deployment & Infrastructure

New options for deploying and managing Genesis in your environment.

* **Databricks connections via Helm** — auto-create Databricks SQL warehouse connections on pod startup using Helm values or K8s Secrets
* **Metrics upload UI** — new Pulse page to monitor and manually trigger metrics uploads
* **Metrics external access** — Snowflake Native App deployments can now connect to stats.genesiscomputing.ai

* **Modal-based model selection** — choose LLM and embedding models directly from the AI Providers page
* **LiteLLM Proxy support** — use LiteLLM Proxy as a dynamic model provider with runtime discovery
* **Simplified navigation** — removed separate Model Configuration page in favor of integrated flows

(From: [#2600](https://github.com/genesis-computing-ai/genesis-agents/pull/2600))

#### What This Means for You

**🔍 Better Data Discovery**

Explore your Git repositories and understand data lineage without leaving Genesis. The new Git Browser and Data Lineage visualization make it easier to navigate your data ecosystem.

**📊 Dashboards That Scale**

Server-side pagination means your dashboards can handle millions of rows without browser slowdowns. Plus, auto-refresh during development speeds up your iteration cycle.

**🔐 Enhanced Security Defaults**

Rate limiting is now enabled by default with sensible limits, and new configuration options give you fine-grained control over timeouts and message sizes.

**🎨 Personalized Experience**

System theme support means Genesis automatically matches your OS dark/light preference — no manual switching needed.

***

#### Under the Hood

* Reduced tool output caps (500KB → 100KB) and compression thresholds to prevent context window issues
* Added sqlite3 CLI to Docker container for SQLite tool support
* Optimized blueprint context management with auto-compression between phases
* Improved metrics bridge logging and job registration
* CI workflows now skip draft PRs to reduce resource usage
