v1.4.1 — January 20, 2026
Smarter document search, richer mission insights, and a more reliable platform
Visualize mission data flow at a glance
You can now see exactly how data moves through your missions with a new interactive data flow view.- Introduces a dedicated Mission Data Flow visualization that maps data inputs, transformations, and outputs across mission phases
- Shows lineage relationships between artifacts, making it easy to trace how data is processed end-to-end
- Integrates with the existing mission replay UI so you can switch between phase execution and data flow views
- Built on the same lineage graph components used in Digital Twin for a consistent, polished experience
Seamlessly switch embedding providers without losing your indexed documents
Changing your embedding model no longer means starting over—Genesis now handles the transition automatically.- Implements cross-provider document synchronization that preserves your indexed documents when switching embedding models
- Automatically reindexes documents in the background using the new provider while keeping search functional
- Maintains legacy collections during migration so existing searches continue to work until the transition completes
- Adds checkpointing to ensure reindexing resumes from where it left off if interrupted
Thread search automatically reindexes when you change embedding models
Your conversation history stays searchable even as you evolve your AI infrastructure.- Thread search now detects when the configured embedding model changes and triggers automatic reindexing
- Implements provider-specific collections so threads indexed with different models don’t conflict
- Adds incremental backfill with timestamp tracking to efficiently process only new or changed threads
- Includes migration support for moving threads from legacy collections to the new provider-specific structure
Jira connector now works with local and server instances
Teams running on-premises Jira can now connect Genesis to their issue tracker.- Revamps the Jira connector to support both Cloud (API v3) and Server/Data Center (API v2) instances
- Automatically detects the Jira deployment type and uses the appropriate API version
- Adds support for custom labels on Jira issues
- Improves attachment handling for all file types
- Includes comprehensive unit tests to ensure reliability across deployment types
More reliable dashboards with improved AG Grid server-side rendering
Large datasets in dashboards are now more stable and performant.- Enhances AG Grid Server-Side Row Model (SSRM) reliability for dashboard data views
- Improves validator logic to enforce table structure requirements consistently
- Adds better error handling for edge cases in dashboard runtime helpers
- Includes new unit tests for table enforcement behavior
Metrics reporting enabled by default
Genesis now reports anonymized usage metrics out of the box to help improve the platform.- Changes the default metrics mode to BRIDGE, automatically reporting metrics when a bridge URL is configured
- Adds an explicit DISABLED mode for organizations that need to opt out
- Improves instance name detection logic for clearer metric attribution
- Provides sensible defaults for metrics database path and bridge configuration
Unified configuration system improvements
Managing Genesis configuration is now more flexible and consistent.- Migrates rate_limit and runtime configuration sections to the unified APP_CONFIG system
- Adds case-insensitive configuration access so
GENESIS_FOOandgenesis_foowork the same way - Introduces a universal migration system for moving legacy configuration to the new schema
- Adds support for comma-separated list fields in environment variables
- Improves documentation with clearer examples and migration guides
Bug Fixes
Prevents agents from getting stuck in infinite tool call loops- Adds loop detection that identifies when an agent repeatedly calls the same tools with the same inputs
- Warns the agent via tool response first, then stops execution if the loop continues
- Preserves all tool outputs in the conversation history for debugging
- Users with
VIEW_ALL_SECRETSorMANAGE_SECRETSpermissions can now properly resolve secrets when creating connections (e.g., Databricks) - Previously, only full admin users could access secret values during connection setup
- Fixes an issue where currently active LLM models might not appear in the model selection dropdowns
- Improves model name normalization and assignment handling
- Catches broken string literals and other syntax errors before uploading notebooks to Databricks
- Provides clearer error messages when validation fails
- Fixes an issue where newlines after tool call announcements were being stripped
- Chat messages now maintain their intended formatting throughout the conversation
- Fixes alignment issues in the left navigation sidebar
- Corrects button spacing for a cleaner visual appearance
What This Means for You
🔄 Flexible AI infrastructure Switching embedding providers is now a zero-downtime operation. Whether you’re moving from OpenAI to Cortex, testing a new model, or optimizing costs, Genesis handles the transition automatically while keeping your documents and threads searchable. 📊 Richer mission insights The new data flow visualization makes it easy to understand complex missions at a glance. See exactly how data moves through phases, trace artifacts back to their sources, and identify bottlenecks or dependencies without digging through logs. 🏢 Enterprise-ready connectivity On-premises Jira support means teams with strict data residency requirements can now use Genesis to manage their workflows. Combined with the improved secret handling, Genesis fits more naturally into enterprise security models. ⚡ More stable day-to-day experience From preventing agent loops to preserving chat formatting, this release includes numerous quality-of-life improvements that make Genesis more reliable and predictable in daily use.Under the Hood
- Improved RBAC policy checks for high-risk tools
- Enhanced document preview and download button behavior in file views
- Better error logging and fallback behavior in the thread search indexer
- Updated CI/CD workflows with category-prefixed naming for easier navigation
- Added comprehensive integration tests for embedding model switching scenarios
- Updated security dependencies including pyasn1 to address CVE-2026-23490
