MEMORY GOES FIRST-CLASS, WORKFLOWS LEARN TO FAIL GRACEFULLY, AND SLACK PATCHES ATTACHMENTS

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

Eve's new memory core landed overnight, Next.js fixed a Turbopack deadlock, and chat adapters closed a security hole in attachment downloads.

Eve's memory system gets a first-class upgrade with path-authored providers and lifecycle hooks keyed to recall and capture events [1], plus a bounded file provider on top [2]. This is the architecture the team has been building toward. Meanwhile, vercel-py hardened workflow suspension: workflows now raise CancelledError instead of running side effects while suspended [3], and step errors serialize properly with a new WorkflowRunFailedError [4]. Django users get a Vercel Queues backend for Django Tasks [5]. Over in Next.js, Turbopack no longer deadlocks on re-export cycles [6], AVIF image optimization is back with sharp 0.35.4 [7], and a client-reference drop bug where module id 0 was treated as falsy is fixed [8]. Slack and Discord attachment downloads now refuse private and internal addresses, cap at 25 MB, and time out after 30 seconds [9]. "Slack sends the bot token only on hops to trusted Slack origins" [9]. Eve also fixed an extension regression where flat instructions collided [10] and corrected Agentcard connector setup [11].
