  • (#39557) Fixes main team channels being able to be converted into public or private with only the create-team-channel or create-team-group (the correct permission for main teams are create-c and create-p)

  • (#39559 by @copilot-swe-agent) Splits the single AJV validator instance into two: ajv (coerceTypes: false) for request body validation and ajvQuery (coerceTypes: true) for query parameter validation.

    Why this matters: Previously, a single AJV instance with coerceTypes: true was used everywhere. This silently accepted values with wrong types — for example, sending { "rid": 12345 } (number) where a string was expected would pass validation because 12345 was coerced to "12345". With this change, body validation is now strict: the server will reject payloads with incorrect types instead of silently coercing them.

    What may break for API consumers:

    • Numeric values sent as strings in POST/PUT/PATCH bodies (e.g., { "count": "10" } instead of { "count": 10 }) will now be rejected. Ensure JSON bodies use proper types.
    • Boolean values sent as strings in bodies (e.g., { "readThreads": "true" } instead of { "readThreads": true }) will now be rejected.
    • null values where a string is expected (e.g., { "name": null } for a type: 'string' field without nullable: true) will no longer be coerced to "".

    No change for query parameters: GET query params (e.g., ?count=10&offset=0) continue to be coerced via ajvQuery, since HTTP query strings are always strings.

  • (#39250) Fixes inquiries.take not failing when attempting to take a chat while over chat limits

  • (#39363 by @gauravsingh001-cyber) Fixes "Join" button on Outlook Calendar bubbling click event, also opening the calendar event details.

  • (#38944 by @Khizarshah01) Limits Omnichannel webhook maximum response size to 10mb.
