## Configuration changes

<Info>
  On SaaS, required configuration changes are applied automatically by FlowX. The changes below are listed for transparency. Self-hosted deployments will receive them, re-verified, with the next LTS release family.
</Info>

### New Kafka topics

These topics back new 5.13 capabilities. On SaaS they are created and managed automatically.

**Notification center:**

| Topic | Producer → Consumer |
| - | - |
| `ai.flowx.designer-user.notifications.v1` | application-manager, process-engine → designer-user |

Notifications now pass through designer-user, which stores them and forwards them to events-gateway on the existing `ai.flowx.eventsgateway.user.notifications.v1` topic for delivery to the Designer.

**Move token:**

| Topic | Producer → Consumer |
| - | - |
| `ai.flowx.core.trigger.token-move.batch.v1` | process-engine → process-engine |

**Run auditing:**

| Topic | Producer → Consumer |
| - | - |
| `ai.flowx.core.run.segment.v1` | process-engine, integration-designer → audit-core |
| `ai.flowx.core.runtime.failure.v1` | process-engine, integration-designer → audit-core |

### New services

The Developer Agentic Harness adds the **harness** and **ai-render-host** services to the AI dev-time group, with a dedicated PostgreSQL database for harness sessions. The notification center adds the **designer-user** core service, which uses MongoDB, Redis, and Kafka. On SaaS these services and their databases are provisioned and managed by FlowX.

### New service dependency: process-engine and object storage

Oversized workflow responses and UI flow updates are now offloaded to object storage instead of travelling inline on Kafka. The process engine reads these offloaded payloads, so it now depends on object storage in addition to its existing databases. On SaaS this connection is provisioned and managed by FlowX.
