Release 1.1.0 — App Builder (Preview), Cockpit Copilot overview, model catalog redesign

Our largest release yet. 1.1.0 introduces a new App Builder Preview, a redesigned Cockpit Copilot overview, and a much richer model catalog. Underneath, dozens of reliability improvements to how apps, sandboxes, and Console workflows behave in production.

Highlights

• App Builder Preview — Describe an app in a conversation, iterate on it, and publish it. Apps run on governed Compute sandboxes. Now supports multi-agent conversations, a “Continue?” prompt at the iteration limit, discarding stuck builds, and library-level delete.
• Cockpit — A redesigned Copilot overview with cost, insights, and an action queue in one dashboard. A sync-from-catalog flow to bring the platform in line with the model catalog. Guardrail overview now shows real blocked counts, and quota + compute-cap inputs are validated up front.
• Model catalog & selector — New Add-Model experience with descriptions, icon-based cost / speed / quality ratings, capability tags, tiered billing basis, and a live provider catalog. Copilot’s chat model selector redesigned with icon ratings, tier badge, and a detail popover.
• Console — New workflow file delivery between artifacts and the agent sandbox, custom date range on cost tracking with a 90-day window, and the pinned model’s context window surfaced in the agent form. Agent Max Context Window is now enforced as a total-input ceiling.
• Copilot — Copy AI responses as rich HTML so they paste cleanly into Word and PowerPoint. Tables are included in PDF and DOCX artifact exports. Downloads for Space Knowledge files.

What’s new

A new way to build governed apps.

• Conversational build loop. Describe what you want. The builder scaffolds an App, runs it inside an isolated Compute sandbox, and iterates in a chat. When it hits the iteration limit, you get a graceful “Continue?” prompt instead of a hard stop.
• Multi-agent conversations. More than one agent can now collaborate inside a single build conversation.
• Server-owned pre-scaffold. App creation starts from a server-owned template so every new project has a clean, consistent starting point.
• Discard stuck builds. Recover cleanly from a build that gets stuck, without leaving the sandbox in an inconsistent state.
• Delete Apps from the library. Prune what you no longer want.
• SDK-tool guidance and Project-tab Permissions info so you can see what the builder can reach and why.
• Account-level function model mapping. Route the builder’s auxiliary model calls per account, not just per user.
• Default image picker. The image the builder starts with is resolved from your operator pin, so every new build starts on the version you intend.

• Copilot overview redesign. One dashboard: cost, insights, and an action queue for pending approvals.
• Sync-from-catalog UI. A single flow to align your active models, ratings, and tags with the catalog.
• Access policy · Edit-items dialog now has search and sort, so large lists are easy to work with.
• Quota and compute-cap inputs validated up front instead of silently accepting invalid values.
• Guardrail overview shows real blocked counts — the top-of-page number now matches the audit rows.
• Cost-tracking layouts decluttered — Copilot rail and Console window read more cleanly.
• Compliance audit events use a durable outbox so audit is not lost on a transient failure.

• Unified Platform Config. ConfigMaps and Secrets in one editable, per-item confirming surface.
• Config Health can provide the value for a missing external secret inline, so you can unblock a failing check without leaving the page.
• Per-component versions on Health — see exactly what version each subsystem is running.
• Split operator navigation — everyday Operations open to all operators, Setup gated by an explicit flag.

• Workflow file delivery. Files flow between workflow artifacts and the agent’s sandbox, so agents can pick up artifacts and workflows can consume agent output.
• Custom date range on cost tracking with a full 90-day window and a decoupled date picker.
• Pinned model’s context window surfaced right in the agent form so you know what you have to work with.
• Agent Max Context Window enforced as a total-input ceiling — the number you set is a hard cap, not a hint.

• Copy AI responses as rich HTML for Word and PowerPoint — formatting, tables, and lists come across intact.
• Tables included in PDF and DOCX artifact exports.
• Download button in the Space Knowledge file menu.

• Activity-based sliding TTL for sandboxes. Active sandboxes stay warm; genuinely idle ones expire cleanly.
• Registry-locked tags for governed sandbox images. Opt-in enforcement that a sandbox can only launch from a pinned, admin-approved image tag.

• Add-Model redesign. Add a model with a description, icon-based cost / speed / quality ratings, and capability tags — all surfaced anywhere the model appears.
• Tiered billing basis + live provider catalog on Add Model so pricing and provider data reflect what’s actually available today.
• Chat model selector in Copilot redesigned — icon ratings, tier badge, and a detail popover replace the flat dropdown.

Improvements

• Tenant theme v3 standardized; tenant font applies correctly and theme auto-reloads on save.
• Console cost writes get a unique idempotency key even when the underlying trace is missing, so retries don’t double-charge.
• Console frontend cost window is a full 90 days and the date picker is decoupled from the query so filters don’t fight the range.
• Console honors LiteLLM defaults for max_output_tokens on Add / Edit Model.
• UI polish across the product — Send button, help panel, dropdown hover states, code-block overflow, branding preview.

Fixes

• Fixed: publish is no longer blocked when a stopped computer returns 409 STOPPED — the pod-access paths detect it and restart the computer.
• Fixed: idle-STOP builder sandbox with a boot-grace window and streaming self-heal so a mid-build restart no longer surfaces as a 502.
• Fixed: file-outbox reconciler no longer floods logs on failed events.
• Fixed: personal computer is recycled correctly when the Default AIOS Image changes.

• Fixed: Azure OpenAI now routes by deployment name, not model id.
• Fixed: agent max_context_window persists across edits.
• Fixed: workflow Files download ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED — public URLs are built from a server-only origin.
• Fixed: connection lookups on non-UUID ids return 404 instead of a 500.
• Fixed: OpenObserve query hardening; project columns cleaned; audit-metadata duplication removed.
• Fixed: metric endpoint-name concat now parenthesizes metadata->> correctly.
• Fixed: internal AIOS workload keys are hidden from the Virtual Keys UI.

• Fixed: Override dialog no longer overflows on the right for account-override rows.
• Fixed: Copilot chat model and non-chat capabilities are now mutually exclusive in the UI.
• Fixed: Send Test surfaces an actionable error when auth fails.
• Fixed: /public/providers/catalog route restored for Console Add Provider.

• Fixed: AIOS App instances reconcile correctly — no more quota leaks or “stuck CREATING”.
• Fixed: AIOS App quota is reserved over the idle window, not the 90-day expiry.
• Fixed: sandbox namespace is separated from deployment namespace — resolves the AIOS App 502 root cause.
• Fixed: transient kata exec failures are retried instead of returning 502.

• Fixed: recycled sandbox pods self-heal; exec result parsing hardened.
• Fixed: a python-capable sandbox image is picked from the granted list.
• Fixed: workflow file-tab now shows node-produced files (project-scope filter).
• Fixed: workflow debug overlay reconciles to a run’s final state (JS node no longer stuck on Running).

• Fixed: guard execution errors are distinguished from content verdicts.
• Fixed: model catalog surfaces all modes and matches providers correctly.

Rollout

All Marketplace subscribers were updated to 1.1.0 during the maintenance window on 30 August 2026. The App Builder is available under a Preview flag — contact your Zentience contact to enable it for your workspace.
