v2026.831.0: bad agent bearer tokens 401 instead of silently becoming the local user. Per the release body, a bearer token that failed verification (expired, terminated agent, wrong company) used to fall through to the anonymous local-user actor; it now returns 401 naming the cause.
Channel: tagged-release. Half: defect (closed). Date: 2026-09-02.
Operator consequence: On v2026.824.x and earlier, an expired or wrong-company agent token could act as the local user rather than fail. Upgrade, then watch for new 401s: any integration that starts failing was relying on the fall-through. Treat pre-831.0 audit attribution of “local user” actions as possibly agent-originated.
