Workflow 4.8.0 enforces server-supplied per-run event caps and prevents queue messages from escaping their tenant boundaries, closing a fork vector that could split run creation across environments.

The core engine now stamps creator environment into every run and rejects cross-environment queue deliveries client-side [2], eliminating a misconfiguration path where callers could write a run_created event to one tenant while pinning the queue message to a deployment in another. Workflow 4.8.0 also gates event creation on loaded event count and restarts replays in-process [3], backing the new 25K per-run event limit [1]. A matching Vercel backend change indexes every event a create commits; the count guard stays inert until that lands, but the watermark half is already live. On the hook side, resumeHook() is now resilient to transient write failures [4], materializing missing hook_received events from queue payloads when the event service returns 429/5xx but dispatch succeeds, bringing it to feature-parity with start()'s robust behavior. Replay divergence recovery now surfaces observably through an optional replayDivergenceCount on event writes [5], eliminating GET-side effects and making both recovery and retry-exhaustion outcomes visible without VQS changes. Next.js fixed hybrid Pages/App Router not-found rendering with adapters [6], and turbopack's filesystem cache for builds now ships enabled by default [7], matching dev mode and speeding warm builds. Eve refactored its Vercel CLI subprocess lifecycle to eliminate three drifting copies and opened real session root spans with windowed long traces [8], fixing a bug where delegated subagents' work never appeared under the session that dispatched them. The SDK fixed OpenAI file uploads with expiresAfter [9], which were being rejected instead of setting retention, and added video model support to the minimax provider [10].
