  • Fixed an issue where expired Linear refresh tokens could cause unclear integration errors and force users to reconnect the integration.
  • Fixed multiple issues affecting subscription management and billing updates.
  • Fixed inconsistencies in how linked bugs are displayed between the Overview and Insights tabs.
  • Fixed an issue where the Update button could remain disabled when editing Shared Step content without changing the step name.
