Two new security advisories published against Phoenix. Update your #ElixirLang dependencies to 1.5.15, 1.6.17, 1.7.24, or 1.8.9 to get the fixes. 👍 github.com/phoenixframe...

Interesting! I haven’t seen memory banks before. Very cool idea!

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

I’ve been thinking about this as a feature. Like the Anthropic article on agent “dreaming” for async processing memories to organize and update. It all feels very application specific currently. Like are memories stored at all? How are they stored and accessed? What’s worth storing? Love to chat tho

More polish: - StreamingSession: host-agnostic streaming helpers with multi-tool-safe deltas, so sibling tool calls keep their UI state - Middleware can persist synthetic transcript entries (like multi-step processes) through the same pipeline as LLM messages

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Quality of life: - Pin allow_other / allow_cancel on ask_user instead of trusting the LLM each call - Todo ids are integers now, so "10" stops sorting before "2" - Optional inline todo snapshots rendered right in the chat transcript

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

The generated Coordinator had grown to ~390 lines of session boilerplate living in YOUR app. v0.8 moves it into the library: Session, Factory, FactoryRouter. Per-request data flows through a typed config. Your Coordinator drops to a thin bridge.

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

v0.7 sent agent events over Phoenix.PubSub: a cluster broadcast bus for what's usually ONE local subscriber. Streaming deltas scaled as nodes x agents x tokens/sec of cross-node traffic. v0.8 uses direct, monitored delivery. Same API, far less noise.

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

An agent crosses 3 process boundaries per run. OpenTelemetry spans, Sentry context, tenant scope, Logger metadata: all lost across them. Detached traces, nil tenant lookups inside tools. New ProcessContext middleware carries it all the way to your tools.

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Extraction or tool output failing validation? New :until_tool_success keeps the run going on a bad result so the LLM can fix its own arguments, bounded by max_runs. Errors feed back, the model retries, you get a clean result. Validate-and-retry, built in.

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Structured output used to mean bypassing your agent: losing token tracking, scope, tenancy, fallback models, all your middleware. New Sagents.Extract runs extraction THROUGH the agent. Define a schema, get typed args back. Full context, no AgentServer needed.

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Need a tool that STOPS a run, not pauses it? A validation gate that says "not ready, stop here"? LLMs ignore polite stop requests and plow ahead trying to help. New :halt interrupt via the Haltable middleware is a hard terminal stop. The model doesn't get to argue.

100

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Your agent asks the user a question, then the server shuts down: deploy, idle timeout, crash. v0.7: the question was silently lost on reload, conversation came back as if nothing was pending. v0.8: the agent boots back into :interrupted with the question intact.

Totally agree with both of you! With JavaScript applications in particular, the vulnerability comes through transitive dependencies. And a typical JavaScript project has so many more of those, it exponentially increases your exposure.

Mark Ericksen @brainlid.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

At some level, we are also susceptible to it. The difference is the scale. With JavaScript applications in particular, the vulnerability comes through transitive dependencies. And a typical JavaScript project has so many more of those, it exponentially increases your exposure.

Is it just me? Or does it feel like the safest way to protect yourself from JavaScript and Python supply chain attacks is to just not use them? #ElixirLang

Metadata-only changes (tags, title) no longer rewrite the full file to storage. A new dirty_non_content flag routes to update_metadata_in_storage when the backend supports it, falling back to full write transparently.

move_file/3 atomically renames or moves files and directories. It re-keys all entries, transfers debounce timers, and calls the new move_in_storage/3 persistence callback so backends can handle path changes efficiently. hexdocs.pm/sagents/Sage...
