v24.10.5.3

Release date: April 24, 2026

• Support for classic governance files in the analyze command
• New --validate parameter for XAML validation
• Improved reliability for Orchestrator and Test Manager connections

What's new

Classic governance file support

The analyze command now accepts governance files exported directly from Studio (classic format), in addition to the existing AutomationOps format. The CLI auto-detects the file format, so no additional flags are needed.

XAML validation with --validate

A new --validate flag enables opt-in XAML structural validation during analysis (for example, missing required activity arguments). Validation is off by default.

When enabled, validation errors cause a non-zero exit code. The following table shows the exit code behavior based on flag combinations:

Flags	Exit code 0 (success)	Non-zero exit code (failure)
No flags	Always	Never
--stopOnRuleViolation	No rule violations	Rule violations detected
--validate	No validation errors	Validation errors detected
--validate --stopOnRuleViolation	No rule violations and no validation errors	Rule violations or validation errors detected

Improved connection reliability

HTTP calls to Orchestrator and Test Manager now automatically retry on transient failures, reducing intermittent errors in CI/CD pipelines.
