chore: release v4.5.11

[github-actions]

Summary

4 new features, 22 improvements, 8 bug fixes.

Highlights

• Allow trigger deploy to authenticate with an environment API key from TRIGGER_ACCESS_TOKEN. (#4561)

Improvements

• Chat in the browser now reconnects when the connection drops mid-turn, instead of leaving the reply stuck as if it were still generating. Reports can be fetched as structured data with the json format, and the shortest report period is now one minute (1m, 30m, 1h, 7d). The mint-token command's help is clearer too: a token minted without --cap is read-only, and --ttl shows the correct maximum lifetime of 7 days. (#4418)

• The dev environment onboarding now tracks real progress. After you run init, the setup checklist marks your project as initialized, and it updates live as your dev server connects and your tasks register. The blank state also adds a "Copy AI agent prompt" button that copies a ready-to-paste setup prompt (pre-filled with your project reference) for Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding agent. (#4563)

  The init scaffold now imports from @trigger.dev/sdk instead of the deprecated @trigger.dev/sdk/v3 subpath.

• Deployed images now ship dependencies and bundled task code as separate layers. Repeat deploys with unchanged dependencies typically push and pull far less data, making deploys and worker image pulls faster. (#4551)

• The current-worker API now reports each task's queue, so you can see which tasks write to a given queue. (#4525)

• Watch-mode chat streams now survive quiet windows and page reloads, and a reply cut off by a lost connection shows an error instead of appearing finished. Aborting a resumed subscription only closes your local stream — call stopGeneration(chatId) or pass stopOnAbort: true to stop the run. Also fixed a race where quickly restarting a stream could break stop and reconnect, and stopping a chat now hands it back to your other tabs instead of leaving them read-only. (#4516)

Server changes

These changes affect the self-hosted Docker image and Trigger.dev Cloud:

• The dashboard agent now has a monthly message allowance and plan-based limits on watches. Queries stay read-only with clearer errors when busy, and messages with unusual characters no longer fail to send. (#4516)

• Meet the dashboard agent: a chat in every environment that answers questions about your runs, queues, errors and health with real data and links, replacing Ask AI everywhere it used to appear. Investigate a failed run, an error, a backed-up queue or a run that hasn't started to get a worked-through answer — what happened, why, and how to fix it, with every claim linked to the runs, errors and deploys behind it. It reads your data read-only, works on preview and dev branches with that branch's own data, and reads the same everywhere — dashboard, terminal, editor. A very long chat keeps working: the agent summarises the earlier part and carries on.

  Watch… on a run, queue, error or the health report tells you when things change: a run finishes, a queue clears or grows past a number you pick, an error comes back, an environment recovers. The answer arrives in the chat and, if you want, by email, Slack or webhook — and the agent can look into bad news on its own. A watch reaches you on any browser you sign in from, without opening the chat first.

  A sample of conversations is scored automatically so the agent keeps getting better; only the score and a one-line summary are kept, never your messages, data or code, and we can switch it off for your organization on request. Ask the agent instead of the Docs buttons in page headers — they stay there when the agent isn't available to you. Separately, a queue's wait times, peak depth, throughput and throttling can now be read from the API. (#4418)

• Add backend support for delaying cron schedules within a specified window with a minimum of 60 seconds. (#4566)

• Reduced recurring background database load from the billing-limit recovery check, so paused environments are reconciled with less overhead. (#4590)

• Validating a schedule when deploying or updating a schedule now does less work on projects with many preview branches, so those operations stay fast as branches accumulate. (#4598)

• Project pages now load faster for projects with a large number of preview branches, by no longer loading archived branch environments that aren't shown. (#4595)

• Database queries that filter on a list of values now reuse cached query plans more consistently, instead of forcing the database to re-plan whenever the list length changes. (#4480)

• Database connection metrics are now reported for every configured database connection instead of only the primary one, and stay accurate regardless of connection type. (#4541)

• Deployment-related API endpoints now draw from their own generous rate limit budget, configurable via the DEPLOYMENT_RATE_LIMIT_* environment variables, so runtime API traffic no longer competes with deployments for the same per-environment budget. (#4565)

• Deleting or editing a secret environment variable is now fast and no longer slows down as a project accumulates variables. (#4555)

• Speed up personal access token lookups by indexing them on their owner (#4588)

• Switching project or organization in the sidebar now keeps you on the same page instead of sending you back to Tasks. Pages for a specific run, deploy or other single item open the matching list instead. (#4585)

• Reduced database load when loading the dashboard by removing an unused organization member count that was being calculated on every page navigation. (#4587)

• The environment variables page now loads a page at a time, keeping it fast for projects with a large number of variables. Search matches variable names across every page. (#4597)

• Groundwork for an alternative database connection driver, gated behind configuration and disabled by default, so there is no change to default behavior. (#4539)

• Deleting an alert channel is now fast and no longer slows down as a project builds up alert history. (#4554)

• Reduced internal overhead on the API under high load. (#4532)

• Make background worker registration cheaper for projects with many scheduled tasks by scoping declarative schedule reconciliation to the current environment and dropping redundant schedule lookups. (#4577)

• Speed up setting and importing environment variables for projects with many variables. (#4579)

• Loading the deployments list is now faster, especially when filtering by deployment status on projects with many deployments. (#4591)

• Fixed the billing limits page timing out for organizations with many preview branches, especially while a spend limit was being enforced. The page now loads quickly, so you can raise or resolve your limit without delay. (#4594)

• Creating an organization sometimes left you back on the creation form even though the organization had already been created, so clicking Create again made a duplicate. Creating an organization now completes and takes you to your new organization. (#4530)

• Ensure creating a project completes instead of returning to its creation form after a navigation error. (#4584)

• Fixed support threads showing no account details for some customers, so the team can see your plan, organizations and projects when you get in touch. (#4575)

• In the light theme, the Format, Clear and Copy buttons on the query editor no longer blend into the query text behind them. (#4592)

• The health report now says start latency is "unknown" when there is no data for it, instead of showing a healthy-looking 0ms (#4544)

• Realtime streams written inside a chat session run now use the same backend as the session itself, and runs are no longer created against a backend that cannot serve them. (#4564)

• The grouped "watch updates" notification now shows the total number of results waiting, instead of only the most recent batch's count. (#4525)
