What's changed

Breaking changes

• Add server-side deprecation gate for deploys from v3 CLI versions (gated by DEPRECATE_V3_CLI_DEPLOYS_ENABLED). v4 CLI deploys are unaffected. (#3415)

Improvements

• Add --no-browser flag to init and login to skip auto-opening the browser during authentication. Also error loudly when init is run without --yes under non-TTY stdin (previously default-and-exited silently, leaving the project half-initialized). Both commands now show an Examples section in --help. (#3483)
• Add isReplay boolean to the run context (ctx.run.isReplay), derived from the existing replayedFromTaskRunFriendlyId database field. Defaults to false for backwards compatibility. (#3454)
• Redact the resolveWaitpoint runtime log so it only emits id and type instead of the full completed waitpoint. Previously the log printed the entire waitpoint (including output) to stdout in production runs, which could leak sensitive payloads. The value returned by wait.forToken() is unchanged. (#3490)
• Add SessionId friendly ID generator and schemas for the new durable Session primitive. Exported from @trigger.dev/core/v3/isomorphic alongside RunId, BatchId, etc. Ships the CreateSessionStreamWaitpoint request/response schemas alongside the main Session CRUD. (#3417)
• Truncate large error stacks and messages to prevent OOM crashes. Stack traces are capped at 50 frames (keeping top 5 + bottom 45 with an omission notice), individual stack lines at 1024 chars, and error messages at 1000 chars. Applied in parseError, sanitizeError, and OTel span recording. (#3405)

Server changes

These changes affect the self-hosted Docker image and Trigger.dev Cloud:

• Add a "Back office" tab to /admin and a per-organization detail page at /admin/back-office/orgs/:orgId. The first action available on that page is editing the org's API rate limit: admins can save a tokenBucket override (refill rate, interval, max tokens) and see a plain-English preview of the resulting sustained rate and burst allowance. Writes are audit-logged via the server logger. (#3434)

• Optional DEPLOY_REGISTRY_ECR_DEFAULT_REPOSITORY_POLICY env var to apply a default repository policy when the webapp creates new ECR repos (#3467)

• Ship the Errors page to all users, with a polish + bug-fix pass: pinned "No channel" item in the Slack alert channel picker, viewer-timezone alert timestamps via Slack's <!date^> token, Activity sparkline peak tooltip, centered loading spinner and bug-icon empty state on the error detail page, ellipsis on the Configure alerts trigger. (#3477)

• Configure the set of machine presets to build boot snapshots for at deploy time via COMPUTE_TEMPLATE_MACHINE_PRESETS (CSV of preset names, default small-1x). Use COMPUTE_TEMPLATE_MACHINE_PRESETS_REQUIRED (CSV, default = full PRESETS list) to scope which preset failures fail a required-mode deploy. Optional preset failures are logged and don't block the deploy. (#3492)

• Regenerating a RuntimeEnvironment API key no longer invalidates the previous key immediately. The old key is recorded in a new RevokedApiKey table with a 24 hour grace window, and findEnvironmentByApiKey falls back to it when the submitted key doesn't match any live environment. The grace window can be ended early (or extended) by updating expiresAt on the row. (#3420)

• Add the Session primitive — a durable, task-bound, bidirectional I/O channel that outlives a single run and acts as the run manager for chat.agent. Ships the Postgres Session + SessionRun tables, ClickHouse sessions_v1 + replication service, the sessions JWT scope, and the public CRUD + realtime routes (/api/v1/sessions, /realtime/v1/sessions/:session/:io) including end-and-continue for server-orchestrated run handoffs and session-stream waitpoints. (#3417)

• Add KUBERNETES_POD_DNS_NDOTS_OVERRIDE_ENABLED flag (off by default) that overrides the cluster default and sets dnsConfig.options.ndots on runner pods (defaulting to 2, configurable via KUBERNETES_POD_DNS_NDOTS). Kubernetes defaults pods to ndots: 5, so any name with fewer than 5 dots — including typical external domains like api.example.com — is first walked through every entry in the cluster search list (<ns>.svc.cluster.local, svc.cluster.local, cluster.local) before being tried as-is, turning one resolution into 4+ CoreDNS queries (×2 with A+AAAA). Using a lower ndots value reduces DNS query amplification in the cluster.local zone.

  Note: before enabling, make sure no code path relies on search-list expansion for names with dots ≥ the configured value — those names will hit their as-is form first and could resolve externally before falling back to the cluster search path. (#3441)

• Vercel integration option to disable auto promotions (#3376)

• Make it clear in the admin that feature flags are global and should rarely be changed. (#3408)

• Admin worker groups API: add GET loader and expose more fields on POST. (#3390)

• Add 60s fresh / 60s stale SWR cache to getEntitlement in platform.v3.server.ts. Eliminates a synchronous billing-service HTTP round trip on every trigger. Reuses the existing platformCache (LRU memory + Redis) pattern already used for limits and usage. Cache key is ${orgId}. Errors return a permissive { hasAccess: true } fallback (existing behavior) and are also cached to prevent thundering-herd on billing outages. (#3388)

• Show a MicroVM badge next to the region name on the regions page. (#3407)

• Increase default maximum project count per organization from 10 to 25 (#3409)

• Merge execution snapshot creation into the dequeue taskRun.update transaction, reducing 2 DB commits to 1 per dequeue operation (#3395)

• Add per-worker Node.js heap metrics to the OTel meter — nodejs.memory.heap.used, nodejs.memory.heap.total, nodejs.memory.heap.limit, nodejs.memory.external, nodejs.memory.array_buffers, nodejs.memory.rss. Host-metrics only publishes RSS, which overstates V8 heap by the external + native footprint; these give direct heap visibility per cluster worker so NODE_MAX_OLD_SPACE_SIZE can be sized against observed heap peaks rather than RSS. (#3437)

• Tag Prisma spans with db.datasource: "writer" | "replica" so monitors and trace queries can distinguish the writer pool from the replica pool. Applies to all prisma:engine:* spans (including prisma:engine:connection used by the connection-pool monitors) and the outer prisma:client:operation span. (#3422)

• Clarify the cross-region intent in the Terraform and AI-prompt helpers on the Add Private Connection page. Both already default supported_regions to ["us-east-1", "eu-central-1"]; added an inline comment / parenthetical so the user understands why both regions are listed (Trigger.dev runs in both, so the service must be consumable from either). (#3465)

• Add RUN_ENGINE_READ_REPLICA_SNAPSHOTS_SINCE_ENABLED flag (default off) to route the Prisma reads inside RunEngine.getSnapshotsSince through the read-only replica client. Offloads the snapshot polling queries (fired by every running task runner) from the primary. When disabled, behavior is unchanged. (#3423)

• Stop creating TaskRunTag records and _TaskRunToTaskRunTag join table entries during task triggering. The denormalized runTags string array on TaskRun already stores tag names, making the M2M relation redundant write overhead. (#3369)

• Stop writing per-tick state (lastScheduledTimestamp, nextScheduledTimestamp, lastRunTriggeredAt) on TaskSchedule and TaskScheduleInstance. The schedule engine now carries the previous fire time forward via the worker queue payload, eliminating ~270K dead-tuple-driven autovacuums per year on these hot tables and the associated IO:XactSync mini-spikes on the writer. Customer-facing payload.lastTimestamp semantics are unchanged. (#3476)

• Replace the expensive DISTINCT query for task filter dropdowns with a dedicated TaskIdentifier registry table backed by Redis. Environments migrate automatically on their next deploy, with a transparent fallback to the legacy query for unmigrated environments. Also fixes duplicate dropdown entries when a task changes trigger source, and adds active/archived grouping for removed tasks. Moves BackgroundWorkerTask reads in the trigger hot path to the read replica. (#3368)

• Public Access Tokens (PATs) minted before an API key rotation now keep working during the 24h grace window. validatePublicJwtKey falls back to any non-expired RevokedApiKey rows for the signing environment when the primary signature check against the env's current apiKey fails. The fallback query only runs on the failure path, so the hot success path is unchanged. (#3464)

• Batch items that hit the environment queue size limit now fast-fail without
  retries and without creating pre-failed TaskRuns. (#3352)

• Show the cancel button in the runs list for runs in DEQUEUED status. DEQUEUED was missing from NON_FINAL_RUN_STATUSES so the list hid the button even though the single run page allowed it. (#3421)

• Reduce 5xx feedback loops on hot debounce keys by quantizing delayUntil,
  adding an unlocked fast-path skip, and gracefully handling redlock
  contention in handleDebounce so the SDK no longer retries into a herd. (#3453)

• Fix RSS memory leak in the realtime proxy routes. /realtime/v1/runs, /realtime/v1/runs/:id, and /realtime/v1/batches/:id called fetch() into Electric with no abort signal, so when a client disconnected mid long-poll, undici kept the upstream socket open and buffered response chunks that would never be consumed — retained only in RSS, invisible to V8 heap tooling. Thread getRequestAbortSignal() through RealtimeClient.streamRun/streamRuns/streamBatch to longPollingFetch and cancel the upstream body in the error path. Isolated reproducer showed ~44 KB retained per leaked request; signal propagation releases it cleanly. (#3442)

• Fix memory leak where every aborted SSE connection pinned the full request/response graph on Node 20, caused by AbortSignal.any() in sse.ts retaining its source signals indefinitely (see nodejs/node#54614, nodejs/node#55351). Also clear the setTimeout(abort) timer in entry.server.tsx so successful HTML renders don't pin the React tree for 30s per request. (#3430)

• Preserve filters on the queues page when submitting modal actions. (#3471)

• Fix Redis connection leak in realtime streams and broken abort signal propagation.

  Redis connections: Non-blocking methods (ingestData, appendPart, getLastChunkIndex) now share a single Redis connection instead of creating one per request. streamResponse still uses dedicated connections (required for XREAD BLOCK) but now tears them down immediately via disconnect() instead of graceful quit(), with a 15s inactivity fallback.

  Abort signal: request.signal is broken in Remix/Express due to a Node.js undici GC bug (nodejs/node#55428) that severs the signal chain when Remix clones the Request internally. Added getRequestAbortSignal() wired to Express res.on("close") via httpAsyncStorage, which fires reliably on client disconnect. All SSE/streaming routes updated to use it. (#3399)

• Prevent dashboard crash (React error #31) when span accessory item text is not a string. Filters out malformed accessory items in SpanCodePathAccessory instead of passing objects to React as children. (#3400)

• Upgrade Remix packages from 2.1.0 to 2.17.4 to address security vulnerabilities in React Router (#3372)

• Fix Vercel integration settings page (remove redundant section toggles) and improve the Vercel onboarding flow so the modal closes after connecting a GitHub repo and the marketplace next URL is preserved across the GitHub app install redirect. (#3424)
