Bug fixes
Fixed a potential denial of service issue related to user avatars (thanks to @NaklehZeidan21)
Added TypeScript support for services within the extension context (#25368)
The services exposed to API extensions using TypeScript are now fully typed instead of any, which may cause new type errors when building extensions.
Arguments of service methods are now strictly typed, which can result in type errors for broader types that would not error before:
The ItemsService constructor now expects the collection name to be a string and will error on string | undefined (or other unions).
Similarly, functions like service.readOne()/service.readMany() now expect string | number for their primary keys and will error for nullable types
As a workaround, casting the services back to any will result in the original behavior. However, it is recommended to resolve the type errors instead.

[PepperBridgeAbstract, DealabsBridge, HotUKDealsBridge, MydealsBridge] Adapt RSS bridge to website content update; remove country of origin due to missing data by @sysadminstory in #4634
[BlueskyBridge] Fix cases for missing reply post context and QoL fix for video loading by @mruac in #4635
[Fix] OpenWrt agent install script by @evrial in #1005
[Feature] Move name copy to Action Dialog by @svenvg93 in #1010
Note
The agent must be run as administrator to access sensors through LibreHardwareMonitorLib, just as when running LibreHardwareMonitor directly. I'll update the docs this weekend with more details and instructions for configuring this with NSSM.
Exclude database-only tables from snapshots (#25271)
Snapshots now exclude tables not tracked in directus_collections (database-only tables).
Source Version
Target Version
Behavior
Impact
< 11.10.0
≥ 11.10.0
Database-only tables from source will be created on target
⚠️ Tables added
≥ 11.10.0
< 11.10.0
Database-only tables will be dropped from target
🚨 Data loss risk
≥ 11.10.0
≥ 11.10.0
Database-only tables are ignored in snapshots
✅ No changes
< 11.10.0
< 11.10.0
Database-only tables may be created or dropped
⚠️ Depends on the diff between source/target
Please review your snapshot workflows to ensure these changes will not result in unexpected behaviour.

@directus/extensions-sdk
Upgraded all dependencies of @directus/extensions-sdk to the latest major versions of Rollup and Vite, and resolved several false-positive security reports. (#25486 by @rijkvanzanten) ⚠️ This change also raises the minimum supported Node.js version to 20.19.0.

This is a beta release. Please make a hub backup before upgrading.
Version 0.12.0 adds the ability for agents to initiate an outgoing connection to the hub.
It also introduces universal tokens, which can be used to register systems without needing to add them manually in the hub. It also allows you to deploy multiple agents with the same configuration, which should make cluster deployments easier.
Please report issues or provide feedback in #951. Thanks!
Upgrading
Docker: Switch to the :edge tag.
Other: This is the first beta release so I'm not sure how the different package managers handle it. To run manually, download the new binary, replace the old one, then add the new env vars and restart the service. I'm working on updating the install scripts and will look further into the package manager situation tomorrow.
Details
The WebSocket connection works in tandem with the agent's existing SSH server. If the agent connects successfully via WebSocket it will stop the SSH server. Likewise, if the agent connects via SSH it will stop attempting to connect via WebSocket.
Note: Don't add the HUB_URL env var to an agent that connects to multiple hubs. This isn't supported yet with WebSocket. Otherwise everything should be fully backwards compatible.
The agent gets two new environment variables:
HUB_URL: The URL of the hub.
TOKEN: The token associated with the system, provided in the hub.
You can copy these values for existing systems in the hub at /settings/tokens.
WebSocket authentication
We use a mutual authentication handshake that ensures both parties are trusted before any data is exchanged. Let me know if you have ideas for improvement.
Initial connection and token verification: The agent initiates a WebSocket connection to the hub. It includes a unique registration token as an HTTP header during the upgrade request. The hub verifies that the token is associated with an existing system before upgrading the connection.
Hub challenge: To prove its identity to the agent, the hub signs the token using its private key and sends the signature back to the agent. The agent verifies the signature using its public key.
Fingerprint authentication: After verifying the hub, the agent responds by sending its fingerprint. This fingerprint is a secure hash of unique identifiers, locking the agent's registration to the machine it's running on. The hub verifies the received fingerprint against the one stored for the system. If they match, the connection is authorized.

Added support for LDAP login and enhanced parameter consistency for refresh/logout commands. Allowed overriding the mode in refresh and logout commands to be inline with login (#25132)
The login method now accepts a payload object instead of separate email and password parameters.
This enables support for both standard and LDAP authentication, but requires updates to code that previously called sdk.login(email, password).
The new usage is sdk.login({ email, password }) or sdk.login({ identifier, password }) for LDAP.
The refresh and logout command method parameters have been updated to be consistent across usage. The functions now accept an options object instead of their previous regular parameters.
For example the new usage for refresh is sdk.request(refresh({ mode: "json", refresh_token })) instead of sdk.request(refresh('json', refresh_token)).
