July 2026

Release 07.24.26 — July 24, 2026

Chat & Personas

  • Thread-local chat attachments: attachments are scoped strictly to the thread they are uploaded in and are never written to the Knowledge Graph or shared Knowledge Base, keeping them isolated from other users and other threads
  • Attachment sources in the response panel: attached files selected by the planner are now surfaced alongside Knowledge Base citations in the Sources panel and persisted to response metadata
  • Attachment filenames in conversation history: planner-selected filenames are appended to the stored query record, enabling accurate semantic retrieval over past turns that involved file attachments (streamed responses are unaffected)
  • Per-file token budget for large attachment sets: replaced the previous single-clip strategy with a two-pass allocation that reserves per-file header overhead and distributes the remaining budget evenly, so every attached file is represented in context regardless of attachment count
  • Web search sources in the Sources panel: web results the model actually used are now surfaced alongside Knowledge Base and attachment sources for full provenance on web-grounded answers
  • Chunk ID suppression in responses: response assembly now prohibits internal chunk identifiers from appearing in user-facing output, preventing raw UUIDs from leaking into the streamed response

Integrations

  • Redshift schema expansion: removed view-type filtering from Redshift schema introspection so the full schema surface — including views and additional schema objects — is available to Enterprise users with Redshift connectors

Datasets

  • Truthful OCR failure propagation: extractions where all pages fail OCR now return a typed error instead of an empty document with inflated quality scores; partial extractions report quality proportional to successful pages, and failure markers no longer pollute embeddings
  • VLM image normalization: high-resolution images are now normalized to safe dimension and pixel bounds before submission to the Vision Language Model, preventing request timeouts across the OCR extractor and the synchronous and asynchronous processors
  • Per-attempt VLM retry deadlines: each VLM retry attempt now receives an independent timeout with capped, interruptible backoff, replacing a shared deadline that caused all retries to fail instantly after the first timeout

Thread Deletion

  • Response-engine data purge: deleting a conversation thread now triggers a cascading, asynchronous purge across PostgreSQL (conversation record, messages, summaries, attachments), Qdrant (per-tenant conversation embeddings scoped to the deleted thread and its owner), and the hot in-memory cache
  • The internal deletion route is idempotent and ownership-enforced: unknown or already-deleted threads are handled gracefully, and foreign-owned data cannot be removed

Observability

  • WebSocket query metrics: query count and duration are now recorded on the WebSocket path, closing a gap where normal chat traffic produced no signal in Grafana
  • Per-stage span instrumentation: full per-stage tracing across orchestrator, embedding, context-assembler, and model-selector stages, with correct lifecycle handling for success, fallback, stream interruption, client cancellation, and disconnect (interrupted streams are excluded from the completed-query counter)
  • OpenTelemetry off-by-default and crash-proof: telemetry providers only initialize when an OTLP endpoint is explicitly configured, initialization failures roll back to a disabled state instead of crashing the service, and exports run in background threads with a bounded timeout so they never block the request path. The Helm chart OTEL block is conditionally rendered for deployments that omit OTEL configuration entirely

Under the hood

  • Centralized model ID configuration: the active model identifier is now an environment-configurable knob with semantic role constants for planning, synthesis, and system default, replacing hardcoded string literals across all call sites. The active model can be changed by updating a single environment variable and restarting the service
  • Summary embeddings in orchestrator planning: top document summaries ranked by vector similarity against the current query are now retrieved from the per-tenant summary collection at query time and injected into the orchestrator planning prompt, improving the relevance and precision of the retrieval plan. Includes stability fixes in the summarization-engine storage and API layer
