# n8n patches its way through the week while Trigger.dev and Inngest polish their edges

n8n dominated the week with a flurry of patch releases across its 1.x and 2.x lines, fixing everything from proxy TLS handling to agent response leakage, while Trigger.dev and Inngest shipped smaller quality-of-life updates. The standout story is n8n's continued hardening of its core execution and publication pipeline.

### n8n's security and reliability sweep

The week's biggest story is n8n's sustained patch cadence across both its 1.x and 2.x branches, with the most significant fix landing in [n8n 2.35.0](/release/rel_AtVacTizpgk-MRl7MFID9-n8n-2-35-0): the AI Agent Node now stops pre-tool-call text from leaking into agent responses — a subtle but important correctness fix for anyone building LLM-powered workflows. The same release also applies the redaction policy to Code node console output, closing a potential data-exposure gap where sensitive values could slip through in logs.

Reliability was a recurring theme across the 2.35.x line. [n8n 2.35.1](/release/rel_nacDV7uDSzuDsPrTOKvLz-n8n-2-35-1) fixed TLS options being applied per-hop when requests traverse a proxy — a real-world headache for anyone running n8n behind a corporate gateway or multi-tier network. [n8n 2.35.2](/release/rel_w1lCXxBXlxLUswWvPsk9M-n8n-2-35-2) corrected the reported activation mode for triggers activated via the publication outbox, clearing up confusion about whether a workflow is genuinely live. Then [n8n 2.35.3](/release/rel_hHxd54zwnh0LEFIKz47df-n8n-2-35-3) rounded out the week by allowing the `details` field in `continueErrorOutput` mode, plus adding an abort deadline to bound publication outbox record processing — preventing a hung process from blocking the queue forever.

The maintenance branch saw the same fixes roll through. [n8n 2.34.5](/release/rel_majUvK6_94982DNV1YoU2-n8n-2-34-5) carried the proxy TLS fix, while [n8n 2.34.6](/release/rel_eppEQZlJBfwQNCl9a66oh-n8n-2-34-6) brought the `details` field fix and migrated the Google Ads Node from the sunset v21 API to v25 — a reminder that even stable branches need to keep pace with external API deprecations. The oldest line, [n8n 1.123.70](/release/rel_kDBUA6YPCDKHV6nir_9br-n8n-1-123-70), was mostly dependency hardening (adm-zip, tar, undici bumps), and [n8n 1.123.71](/release/rel_swOaOt2XH-FQgBmS3hePb-n8n-1-123-71) appeared to be a follow-on with no notable user-facing changes.

### Trigger.dev streamlines its runtime

Over in the Trigger.dev camp, [v4.5.11](/release/rel_ug5HSlgLMUmgRJIjWFg0N-trigger-dev-v4-5-11) shipped midweek with a focus on polish rather than new features. The release notes point to general improvements in the self-hosted Docker experience, which matters for teams that want the orchestration layer running inside their own infrastructure rather than relying on the cloud offering. Nothing here is headline-grabbing, but consistent incremental releases keep the runtime stable for the growing number of teams using it for long-running background tasks.

### Inngest loosens the sandbox limits

[Inngest's JS SDK 4.18.1](/release/rel_5orWfUH6zYWYf4BJh45bh-inngest-4-18-1) made a small but welcome change: sandbox names can now be up to 255 characters, including uppercase ULIDs and human-readable names. That removes an artificial constraint that bit teams using non-lowercase identifiers or wanting more descriptive sandbox labels. It's a minor patch, but the kind of friction-removal that makes the SDK feel more forgiving in day-to-day use.

### The big picture

Reading across the releases, the week's through-line is hardening: n8n aggressively patched its execution core and security boundaries across three concurrently-supported versions, Trigger.dev tightened its runtime, and Inngest removed a naming constraint. None of the changes are flashy, but together they speak to a maturing ecosystem where the platforms are investing in stability and correctness over new surface area — exactly what you want from infrastructure you're betting production workflows on.
