WORKFLOW 5.0 BETA ARRIVES WITH HOOK TOKEN RETENTION, AI SDK FIXES GEMINI AND BEDROCK HALLUCINATIONS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel

Workflow shipped its most ambitious beta yet with experimental token retention, while the AI SDK shipped five critical fixes across Gemini, Bedrock, and dynamic tool validation in a single push.

Workflow 5.0.0-beta.36 landed with `experimental_minRetention` for Hook tokens [1], letting operators keep tokens unavailable after run completion and requiring Worlds to advertise hookRetention capability. The stable 4.6.1 release followed immediately with port discovery caching for self-hosted steps [2], a focused hardening that cuts discovery overhead per process. On the AI SDK front, Lars Grammel shipped fixes for Gemini 3 parallel function calls that were triggering false validator warnings [3], invalid Bedrock tool names that crashed conversation replay [4], and a harness bug where the dynamic flag was being dropped during validation of provider-executed tools [5]. A separate win adds per-step first-content timeout configuration [6], letting streamText arm dedicated timeouts for every model-call response stream. Bedrock also gained native S3 image URL support, eliminating forced in-memory loading [7]. Eve shipped six fixes including cancellation of durable turns from generated Web Chat [8], preserved coalesced delivery inputs [9], native Linear elicitations [10], a generic Slack event handler [11], and token-budget prompt decline handling [12]. Next.js hardened dev cache invalidation for cookieless requests and route handlers [14], added HMR coverage for static params changes [13], and Turbopack cut peak memory from 3 GB to 2.6 GB by stopping sourcesContent duplication in serialized source maps [15]. Vercel CLI added FastAPI static file collection for CDN serving [17] and container manifest emission [16].
