chore: release v4.5.4 (#4228)
## Summary
2 new features, 11 improvements, 5 bug fixes.

## Breaking changes
- Trigger.dev v3 is no longer supported. For self-hosted deployments,
4.5.0 is the last version we officially support for running v3; stay on
4.5.0 or upgrade to v4. v3 triggers, batch triggers, reschedules, and
deploys now return a clear upgrade message instead of running.
([#4236](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4236))

## Improvements
- You can now mark environment variables synced via the `syncEnvVars`
build extension as secrets. Return `{ name, value, isSecret: true }`
from your callback and those variables are stored redacted in the
dashboard, just like manually created secret env vars.
([#4203](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4203))
- Remove the legacy `--mcp` and `--mcp-port` options from the `dev`
command. Run the dedicated `trigger mcp` command to start the
Trigger.dev MCP server.
([#4246](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4246))
- Removed the unused `ResourceMonitor` export from
`@trigger.dev/core/v3/serverOnly`. It was a server-side logging helper
with no remaining consumers.
([#4244](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4244))
- Removed the unused `@trigger.dev/core/v3/zodNamespace` export and the
legacy v3 socket message schemas. These were only used by the
now-retired v3 engine and have no v4 consumers.
([#4236](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4236))

## Bug fixes
- Fix a `chat.agent` message-loss race where sending a message right
after an action (such as an undo) could drop the follow-up's response
from the UI until a refresh.
([#4234](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4234))

## Server changes

These changes affect the self-hosted Docker image and Trigger.dev Cloud:

- Added `EVENT_REPOSITORY_POSTGRES_WRITES_DISABLED` to skip all
PostgreSQL task-event writes for deployments that store task events in
ClickHouse. Leave it off unless `EVENT_REPOSITORY_DEFAULT_STORE` is
`clickhouse_v2`, otherwise task events are lost.
([#4242](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4242))
- Promo credits: a /promo signup landing page, redeeming a promo code
when a new org selects a plan, and showing remaining credits on the
usage page.
([#4138](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4138))
- Speed up retrieving a background worker by version. The endpoint no
longer runs a slow lookup that scanned the full task table for large
deployments; it now reuses data it already loads, so the response is the
same but returns much faster.
([#4245](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4245))
- Clearer login error when an email address is blocked by the
WHITELISTED_EMAILS setting: the message now explains the address isn't
allowed on this instance instead of the ambiguous "This email is
unauthorized".
([#4220](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4220))
- Make the native build server the default in project build settings.
It's now opt-out, stored as a new `disableNativeBuildServer` key. Also
clarifies in the UI that build settings apply to GitHub-triggered and
native build server deployments.
([#3980](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/3980))
- Optionally process high-volume telemetry ingestion in parallel for
higher throughput under heavy load by setting
`OTEL_TRANSFORM_WORKER_POOL_ENABLED=1`. Off by default.
([#4232](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4232))
- Add a `REALTIME_BACKEND_DEFAULT` env var to choose the default
realtime backend (`electric`, `native`, or `shadow`) for environments
whose org has no per-org override. Defaults to `electric`, so existing
behavior is unchanged.
([#4231](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4231))
- Clarified on the Regions page that a region only affects where your
runs execute, not where your data is stored. This shows as a tooltip on
the Location column and in the confirmation dialog when you change your
default region.
([#4226](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4226))
- Improved the reliability of how run data is read and written.
([#4237](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4237))
- Fixed stale login errors: an error from a previous login attempt (for
example a rejected email address) no longer keeps reappearing on the
login page and no longer makes later, successful attempts look like they
failed.
([#4220](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4220))
- The Errors page now shows better details for each error. Errors that
don't carry a message — such as errors thrown without a message, or
values thrown that aren't `Error` objects — get a meaningful title
instead of all reading "Unknown error", and are grouped by their name
(or value) rather than collapsed into a single group. The error type now
shows the actual error name, and stack traces now appear where
previously they were missing.
([#4225](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4225))
- Return a clear client error when SSO form submissions use an
unsupported content type
([#4238](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4238))
- Query page: extracting fields from a run's output with JSON functions
(such as JSONExtractString or JSONExtractInt) no longer fails with an
"illegal type: JSON" error.
([#4221](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4221))

Server Changes

This directory tracks changes to server-only components (webapp, supervisor, etc.) that are not captured by changesets. Changesets only track published npm packages — server changes would otherwise go undocumented.

When to add a file

Server-only PRs: If your PR only changes apps/webapp/, apps/supervisor/, or other server components (and does NOT change anything in packages/), add a .server-changes/ file.

Mixed PRs (both packages and server): Just add a changeset as usual. No .server-changes/ file needed — the changeset covers it.

Package-only PRs: Just add a changeset as usual.

File format

Create a markdown file with a descriptive name:

.server-changes/fix-batch-queue-stalls.md

With this format:

---
area: webapp
type: fix
---

Speed up batch queue processing by removing stalls and fixing retry race

Fields

  • area (required): webapp | supervisor
  • type (required): feature | fix | improvement | breaking

Description

The body text (below the frontmatter) is a one-line description of the change. Keep it concise — it will appear in release notes.

Writing guidance

These entries are public-facing - they ship verbatim in user-visible release notes. A few rules to keep them clean:

  • Write for the user, not the reviewer. Lead with what the user notices or has to do. If a reader who doesn't know the codebase can't tell what changed for them, rewrite it.
  • One sentence is usually enough. The body is the bullet in the changelog. If you need a paragraph, you're probably describing the implementation rather than the change.
  • Describe behavior, not implementation. Skip internal scopes, middleware names, library specifics, framework internals. Users care about what's different for them, not how it's wired.
  • Never name internal tools or infra. Observability stacks, internal services, infra components, monitoring backends, CI surfaces, AWS specifics - none of these belong in user-facing notes.

Before / after:

  • "The image verification step now parses the manifest's layer media types and returns a new result the finalizer rejects." (describes the wiring; a user can't act on it)
  • "Deploying with an outdated CLI could produce an image that fails to start on every run. These deploys are now stopped before going live, with a message asking you to upgrade the CLI and re-deploy." (what the user sees and does)

Lifecycle

  1. Engineer adds a .server-changes/ file in their PR
  2. Files accumulate on main as PRs merge
  3. The changeset release PR includes these in its summary
  4. After the release merges, CI cleans up the consumed files
