New Features

Enhanced Data Sharing Capabilities

h4. "Share this page" Feature Integration (SWC-7545, SWC-7515)
Users can now easily share pages directly from entity pages within Synapse. This feature provides a convenient way to share content with collaborators.

Improved AI Agent Functionality

h4. GridBot Data Update Support (PLFM-9258, PLFM-9122)
The GridBot now supports updating data within data grids, enabling more dynamic and automated data management workflows through the AI agent.
h4. Grid Agent Row Filtering (PLFM-9232)
The AI agent can now filter rows in data grids based on a user's current selection, allowing for more precise queries and data analysis within the agent's context.

Expanded Data Collection Information

h4. Dataset Collection File Statistics (PLFM-9187)
Dataset collections now expose and cache total file count and total file size properties, similar to existing dataset functionality. This provides users with more comprehensive overview information for their data collections.

Enhanced Data Access Request Workflow

h4. Increased ADKP Access Request Word Limit (SWC-7526)
The word limit for IDU submissions to the ADKP access request form has been increased from 500 to 750 words, allowing users to provide more detailed justifications for their data access requests.

JSON Schema Service Enhancements

h4. Support for maxItems in JSON Schema Service (PLFM-8913)
The JSON Schema service now supports the 'maxItems' property, offering greater flexibility and control over array validation in schemas.

Fixes & Improvements

User Interface & Experience

h4. Resolved "Share this page" Icon Placement (SWC-7546)
Addressed an issue where the "Share this page" functionality was incorrectly hidden in a dropdown menu for certain entities, now consistently appearing as an icon in the expected location.
h4. Removal of "Donate to Sage" Banner (SWC-7529)
The "Donate to Sage" banner has been removed from synapse.org. A replacement home page slat is being tracked separately.
h4. AI Agent Chat Window Interaction Fix (SWC-7518)
Fixed a bug where the AI agent chat window would block interactions in its original position after being moved, ensuring fluid user interaction.
h4. Record Set Download Cart Integration (SWC-7522)
The new Entity Tree Table now correctly displays a button to add Record Set entities to the download cart, aligning functionality with FileEntities.

Data Grid & Curation Improvements

h4. Curator Grid Reload Notification (SWC-7509)
Improved the Curator grid's behavior upon websocket reconnection. The system now indicates when a connection was interrupted, reconnected, and data is reloading, preventing data from appearing to change randomly.
h4. Disabled Row Addition to View-based Grids (SWC-7486)
To prevent user errors, the option to add rows to a grid has been disabled if the grid's source entity is an EntityView, as such updates are not supported by the server.

System Stability & Performance

h4. Agent Return_control Event Execution Errors Resolved (PLFM-9310, PLFM-9309)
Fixed issues causing "Return_control event execution failed" errors, where query results and update responses could not be properly translated and returned to the agent.
h4. Search Index Worker Test Failure Resolution (PLFM-9306)
Addressed a test failure in SearchIndexWorkerIntegrationTest related to OpenSearch document errors, improving the reliability of search indexing.
h4. Global Resources Export Name Correction (PLFM-9305)
Corrected an incorrect export name for 'us-east-1-vpc-OSSVpcEndpointId' in the production account's GlobalResources, resolving deployment errors.
h4. Schema Validation Failures Addressed (PLFM-9104)
Fixed recurring schema validation failures in logs displaying "could not determine version" errors, improving the stability of schema processing.
h4. Dev Stack Creation Failure Rectified (PLFM-9172)
Resolved an issue preventing the creation of dev stacks due to a "CREATE_FAILED" state for the AWS::Bedrock::KnowledgeBase resource, improving developer onboarding.

AI Agent Traceability

h4. Synapse Chat Trace Event Surfacing (SWC-7532)
Improved the surfacing of Synapse Chat trace events to users. The system now extracts and displays relevant information from deeply nested JSON object strings within the trace messages.
