Agent v1.17.1 — March 23, 2026
Security:
Upgrade binary verification
Before executing a downloaded Nightswatch (watchdog agent) binary, the main agent now verifies its checksum against a separately published value. An upgrade whose checksum does not match will not proceed.
Bug Fixes:
Filesystem creation failure after prior failed onboarding
Fixed a case where creating a new filesystem on a disk would fail because orphaned volumes from a previous incomplete onboarding were still present. Customer symptom: onboarding stuck or failing on instances with a prior failed attempt.
Shrink operation guardrails (Windows)
Additional pre-operation checks have been added before executing disk shrink operations, including storage pool health validation and allocation checks. This reduces the rate of shrink failures that could leave disks in an inconsistent state.
