Valstorm Feature Release: July 6, 2026

Welcome to our latest feature release! This update introduces powerful improvements to sandbox management, user security, administrator guided walkthroughs, and developer experiences across the Valstorm ecosystem.

🚀 Top Features / Major Features

Managing Sandboxes - UI Interface (NF-170): Introduces a complete, beautifully designed interactive modal and dashboard UI in the workspace manager for sandboxes. Administrators can now create, list, refresh, add/remove user memberships, and delete sandbox environments with complete database isolation and real-time state synchronization.
Reduce Google Workspace Scopes (NF-129): Streamlined and reduced requested Google OAuth permissions. The platform now requests only the bare-minimum required scopes, greatly increasing security, user trust, and ease of organization verification.
Bulk Assign many Permissions to many Users (NF-174): Administrators can now perform bulk permission updates. You can select multiple user groups or specific users, select multiple permissions, and assign them all in a single efficient operation, removing repetitive clicks.
Guided Walkthrough for Permissions CRUD (NF-173): Added a step-by-step interactive onboarding walkthrough guiding administrators through creating, reading, updating, and deleting system permissions.
Guided Walkthrough for App CRUD (NF-182): Launched a guided, interactive onboarding walkthrough that leads developers through the complete lifecycle of application initialization, configuration updates, and deployments.

💻 Developer Experience & Platforms

Developer Experience Overhaul (NF-168): Underwent a comprehensive overhaul of our developer tools, upgrading platform context stubs, streamlining the CLI directory layout, and improving local editor type-hints for a much faster coding loop.
New App Record App Component (NF-172): Added a new, specialized AppBuilder component optimized specifically for rendering, editing, and managing App Metadata records.

☎️ Integrations & Billing

SendGrid Integration for Outbound Thread Replies (NF-195): Completed native support for outbound email thread replies through SendGrid, enabling smooth, integrated conversational support and communications directly within CRM logs.
Stripe Sandbox Support (NF-166): Added full support for isolating Stripe API keys and billing channels inside sandboxes, ensuring test-mode configurations can be validated safely without hitting real production cards.

🐞 Bug Fixes

Stripe Integration - Billing Wallet Top Off (B-193): Resolved a transaction processing issue where automated wallet replenishment and manual "top-offs" via Stripe failed to execute during edge billing cycles.
Public Vs Private File Locations Off (B-163): Fixed a file path visibility bug where public files were incorrectly handled as private, eliminating invalid "Access Denied" permissions warnings for storage assets.
