Operator summary

  • Expect config touchpoints around channels / message behavior and model defaults.
  • Stage first: validate messaging delivery, permissions, and any tool allowlists.
  • Monitor after rollout: latency, error rate, and unexpected tool invocation.

Upgrade checklist

  1. Snapshot current config + record current version.
  2. Upgrade in staging; run a 15‑minute smoke test (inbound, outbound, attachments).
  3. Review tool permissions (exec/browser/messaging) and tighten any defaults.
  4. Roll out to production during a low-traffic window; keep rollback ready.
  5. Post-deploy: review logs for errors and unexpected outbound calls.

What changed

We keep this section concise on purpose. If you want fully detailed diffs, we can maintain an internal changelog for your org.

  • Messaging and channel behavior refinements (reliability/UX).
  • Model routing/catalog improvements.
  • Operational fixes and security hardening.

Tip: if you’re link building, this page is intentionally “citable” as an operator-friendly summary. Link to it as the canonical ops guide.

Need the upgrade handled?

We can take this off your plate: staging, rollout, monitoring, and monthly change control.
