PASSPORT IDENTITY VERIFICATION LANDS, EVE HANDLES SCHEMA CHAOS, WORKFLOW CACHES PORT LOOKUPS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Passport ships identity token verification [ref:1], Eve stops failing turns on unsupported JSON Schemas [ref:6], and Workflow cuts port discovery overhead by 83% [ref:10].

The @vercel/passport@0.1.3 update [1] adds a `verifyIdentity` helper for forwarded Passport identity tokens, closing a gap in the auth toolkit. Connect tests against recent Eve and AI SDK 7 [2], ensuring the integration layer stays current as upstream shifts. On the CLI side, vercel@56.3.2 [3] polishes the `ai-gateway coding-agents setup` flow with a searchable team picker and agent handoff prompts that copy setup to macOS Keychain. Eve@0.25.2 [4] simultaneously ships 4 new Chat SDK adapter channels (Google Chat, WhatsApp, X, Messenger) for surfaces without native Eve channels, and fixes the critical schema rehydration bug [5] where tool schemas outside Zod's supported JSON Schema dialects were failing entire turns instead of degrading gracefully. In self-hosted infrastructure, Workflow's port discovery cache [6] reuses process-level lookups and cuts 83% of peak wall time from step invocations, a silent but material win for production burst profiles.
