Included items

⭐ New

• Global API keys: Global API keys can access any project in an organization by passing projectId with each request, while requests without one use the key's fallback project; Computers continue to require project-scoped keys. 0xnenlabs/steel fd5090c

🔧 Improvements

• Billing notifications in Discord now cover Metronome plan renewals and payment failures, distinguish overdue payments from cancellations, and include amounts, invoice links, and updated balances where available. 0xnenlabs/steel 968acdf
• API key rotation now uses the same dialog as key creation, with confirmation, progress, copy controls, and a one-time reveal of the rotated key. 0xnenlabs/steel 14e9b4c
• Managed browsers now include Widevine support and use Google Chrome brand values across user-agent properties and headers. 0xnenlabs/steel b5a538b

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed sign-in for accounts with two-step verification by adding TOTP and backup-code flows for email links and OAuth, with clear errors for invalid or expired links. 0xnenlabs/steel 3ce4cc2
• Fixed sessions created with recordings: false still allocating a recording. 0xnenlabs/steel 11f9d2b
• Fixed hourly usage data failing to load for Metronome-billed organizations on the Last 24h and Last 3d views. 0xnenlabs/steel f7c16c6
• Fixed included usage credits starting on a plan's upgrade anniversary instead of the first of the month; mid-month plan attachments now receive a full credit grant through the next monthly boundary. 0xnenlabs/steel 77c6ae1
• Fixed recurring API pauses and memory growth caused by unbounded telemetry labels, duplicate logging workers, and DuckDB's external file cache. 0xnenlabs/steel 019c6e3 0xnenlabs/steel b71af0c
• Fixed proxied browser actions on Box infrastructure using the wrong proxy provider instead of the organization's configured provider and overrides. 0xnenlabs/steel 6b2a867
• Fixed managed browser pool rollouts draining available capacity while a new browser template was still starting or failed to register. 0xnenlabs/steel 80681a9

Discarded while drafting (5)

• private source (This is a major internal infrastructure change, but the source describes a staged rollout rather than a distinct user-facing capability.) 0xnenlabs/steel 223c49b
• private source (This is internal identity data plumbing for a later authentication migration and does not change current user-facing authorization behavior.) 0xnenlabs/steel 71b3787
• private source (The migration was intended to preserve existing visuals, and the regressions were corrected within the same release.) 0xnenlabs/steel c8b2c34 0xnenlabs/steel b397f67
• private source (This is a visual identity update without a functional product change.) 0xnenlabs/steel 45d056c
