- Admin user management now includes clearer user status, role editing, delete confirmation, and password reset support
- Agent pages now make it easier to inspect agent health, view log connection state, and restart agents from the logs page
- Fix: agent restart requests are no longer lost when the agent tunnel is temporarily down; Grail queues the restart and delivers it after reconnect
- Fix: jobs assigned to offline agents, disabled agents, or agents that never start work are recovered automatically so work can be picked up again
- Fix: storage source capacity and health indicators now avoid showing stale healthy-looking values when a source is offline or not reporting
- Asset tables now use a denser sortable layout for scanning and sorting larger libraries
- Fix: macOS agents now handle existing or numbered SMB mounts more reliably, reducing false mount failures when macOS keeps a share at a path like
/Volumes/share-1
- Fix: Watch + Poll storage sources continue scheduled polling even if real-time SMB watching cannot start
- Fix: real-time SMB watching now follows the configured base path instead of watching the whole share
- Fix: large downloads through the tunnel no longer abort when the browser response finishes normally
- Asset batch actions now support up to 1,000 selected assets, with the app showing when the selection limit is reached
- Storage source cards now show mount health separately from watcher health, including the latest mount or watcher error when available
- Fix: storage sources with base paths are normalized consistently so paths with missing leading slashes or trailing slashes resolve correctly
- Fix: SMB paths with spaces and special characters are handled more reliably during agent scans
- Fix: index scans now fail visibly when the scan root is missing or inaccessible instead of reporting a misleading success
- Fix: storage capacity is cleared when a share is no longer reachable, preventing stale capacity numbers from looking current
- Fix: agent startup no longer hangs indefinitely when tunnel authentication is slow
- Fix: change detector startup now times out cleanly so one unhealthy storage source does not block the rest of the agent
- Fix: SMB watcher startup now surfaces stalled NAS or watcher-container connectivity problems faster
- Fix: change detection now recovers cleanly after watcher failures instead of silently staying offline until the agent restarts
- Fix: macOS agents now automatically resolve Colima network gateway conflicts that can block Docker containers from reaching NAS or LAN hosts
- Improved background job throughput and reliability for busy libraries by reducing queue stalls under heavy write load
- Improved short-running job handling so quick tasks complete with less unnecessary progress churn
- Smarter proxy streaming — prefers an existing proxy over re-encoding, plays the original while a proxy generates, and falls back gracefully on codec mismatches
- Copy SMB path uses Windows UNC format when the client is on Windows
- Proxy generation preserves the original aspect ratio
- Fix: agent reconnection no longer permanently marks agents as unreachable after pod restarts
- Fix: stale proxy and thumbnail URLs are automatically cleared when files are missing on the agent
- Fix: transcript panel no longer shows an error for videos with no audio track
- Fix: download menu no longer hidden behind the preview error overlay
- Fix: metadata filter dropdown handles unexpected metadata values without crashing
- Fix: log search no longer crashes with very large result sets
- Google and Microsoft SSO login with per-organization provider toggles and auto-signup domains
- Fix: agent crash-loop on macOS when running under launchd —
ioreg was not in the launchd PATH, causing hardware UUID lookup to fail during config encryption migration
- Agent reactivation flow — generate a reactivation code in the web UI and run
grail-agent reactivate to move an agent to a new machine
- Transcription progress indicator on the asset detail page with real-time polling
- Fix: transcript viewer retry storm — capped retries with exponential backoff and added a visible error card with manual Retry button
- Fix: tunnel disconnect detection — server and agent now detect dead connections within 60 seconds instead of waiting indefinitely
- Fix: automatic metadata jobs no longer trigger tape recalls on cold/archived storage
- Asset metadata system with three metadata types: path metadata extracted from folder structure, file metadata from FFprobe, and custom user-defined fields with text, number, date, and list types
- Metadata filtering in the asset browser across all three metadata types
- Bulk metadata editing for updating user metadata fields across multiple selected assets
- Search query carry-through from asset browser to transcript search on the asset detail page
- Fix: agent tunnel reconnection after internet drops — UI now shows “Unreachable” status when the agent is alive but the tunnel is down
- Fix: video streaming and download reliability in multi-replica deployments
- Download button on asset detail page with Original and Proxy options
- Custom video seek bar with comment timestamp markers — click a marker to jump to that point in the video
- Auto-check timestamp checkbox when playing or scrubbing video, resets after submitting a comment
- Delete button with confirmation dialog on user management pages
- Fix: tunnel server memory usage during large file downloads
- Promote-to-priority button for pending jobs and sort-by-updated-date on the Jobs page
- Performance improvements for job polling and cache eviction queries
- Fix: SMB file watcher no longer permanently stops after repeated failures — uses continuous backoff instead
- Fix: agent startup failure when log files are unwritable (e.g., after running with sudo)
- Proxy and thumbnail file storage optimization for large libraries — automatic 2-level directory sharding reduces filesystem bottlenecks
- Video streaming throughput improvements — disabled WebSocket compression and added end-to-end backpressure for significantly faster proxy playback
- Thumbnail generation now uses consistent sizing and skips redundant jobs for assets that already have thumbnails
- Fix: agent crash loop caused by Docker failures on SMB change detection and slow shutdown exceeding launchd timeout
- Agent component health monitoring with colored status dots on agent cards
- Archive asset UI — archive icon on cold-only thumbnails, “Archived Asset” banner with restore button on detail page, disabled transcription for cold assets
- Fix: NAS-stored cached thumbnails now served correctly via SMB
- Tiered storage support for Quantum StorNext — detect archived/tape files during scanning without triggering recalls, skip job creation for cold assets, and detect cold-to-hot transitions on rescan
- Batch tag dropdown with search and inline tag creation from the dropdown
- Batch action bar UI improvements — pill-style buttons, “Create Previews” label, unified layout
- Fix: Safari proxy video playback no longer fails on oversized range requests
- Fix: transcription jobs for files without audio streams now complete instead of failing
- Fix: reduced redundant agent polling from rapid job notifications
- Automatic dependency installation on macOS: agent detects and installs missing FFmpeg, Whisper, Docker, and Colima via Homebrew on first launch
- Dependency version tracking displayed on the agent card in the web app
