BYOK Error Handling and Builder Performance
October 29, 2025
This release focuses on a smoother experience when using your own API keys (BYOK) and faster builder loading times. Error messages are now clearer and more actionable, builders load faster thanks to a new caching layer.
New Features
- BYOK Error Modal — When your own API key encounters an issue, you now see a clear popup modal explaining what went wrong, with options to fix your API key or retry using platform credits instead. Error messages are sanitized to ensure your API key is never displayed on screen. This replaces the previous inline error alerts that were easy to miss.
Improvements
- Faster Builder Loading — A 30-second caching layer was added to the builder framework, reducing repeated file system reads from three passes down to one plus cache hits. This means faster page loads when browsing or switching between builders.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Builder Loading Errors — Resolved issues with malformed configuration in several builder template files that could cause “builder not found” errors when loading certain builders.
- Fixed Duplicate Error Messages — Eliminated cases where both a custom error message and a raw provider error would display simultaneously, making it clearer what actually went wrong.
