v2026.4.21 — gpt-image-2 Default + Small Fixes

Released: April 21, 2026 Theme: Small maintenance release (image default + 6 fixes) Breaking Changes: None

Core Highlights

1. Image Generation Default Bumped to gpt-image-2

Default bundled image generation provider and live media smoke tests both move to gpt-image-2. Image generation docs and tool metadata advertise the newer 2K/4K OpenAI size hints.

2. Owner-Only Command Authorization Tightened

Previously, if a channel had a permissive wildcard allowFrom or empty owner-candidate list, non-owner senders could reach owner-only commands through a fallback path.

Now requires owner identity (owner-candidate match or internal operator.admin) — even when enforceOwnerForCommands=true and commands.ownerAllowFrom is unset, no bypass.

3. Slack Thread Preservation Fix

Slack runtime outbound sends now preserve thread aliases: when a caller supplies threadTs, the generic runtime send stays in the intended Slack thread.

4. Browser Act Fast-Fails

Browser act paths reject invalid ax<N> accessibility refs immediately, instead of waiting for the browser action timeout.

5. Plugin Doctor Repair

Repair bundled plugin runtime dependencies from doctor paths without broad core dependency installs:

  • Packaged installs recover missing channel/provider deps
  • Core deps stay narrow

6. Image Generation Failures Now Logged

Failed provider/model candidates log at warn level before automatic provider fallback:

  • Even when a later provider succeeds, the early failure is visible
  • Troubleshooting easier

7. npm Install Cleans Up Deprecated Chain

Mirrors the node-domexception alias into root package.json overrides:

  • npm installs stop surfacing the google-auth-library -> gaxios -> node-fetch -> fetch-blob -> node-domexception deprecation chain
  • Cleaner terminal output

Upgrade Recommendations

  • OpenAI image generation users: free upgrade to gpt-image-2
  • Owner enforcement users: upgrade to avoid the fallback bypass
  • Slack threading users: upgrade to keep runtime sends in the intended thread
  • General users: small maintenance — easy upgrade
