Constellation 0.19.1 — Development preview

Constellation 0.19.1, build 31 is a development preview for creating and editing native Splunk Dashboard Studio dashboards through conversation and a live canvas.

Changes

• The preview now follows the available window height as well as width. Docking, floating, expanded controls and status messages resize it without changing saved dashboard geometry. Tall pages retain native scrolling.
• Updates since the previous published release include compact multi-page creation, model-budget diagnostics, focused edits, measurement exclusions, sparse/partial-data handling and bounded automatic recovery.
• Ordinary authors can use owner-only OpenAI credentials and administrator-approved shared AITK inference without credential-store permissions. Managed AITK requires the documented administrator policy and protected connection permissions.
• Drafts retain conversations, page/focus state and a stable private URL across refreshes. Saving to Splunk creates an ordinary private Studio copy with native searches, inputs, tokens and page navigation.

Downloads and upgrade

• constellation-0.19.1.tar.gz — installable Splunk app, without macOS metadata or private local configuration.
• constellation-0.19.1-handoff.zip — the same app plus user, installation, provider, security, validation and upgrade documentation.
• constellation-0.19.1-user-guide.md — standalone user guide; use the handoff bundle for its companion documents.
• SHA256SUMS — checksums for all three downloads.

Install/update through Splunk app management, then refresh older workspace tabs. Draft schema remains 3; this update requires no draft or credential migration. Review the upgrade guide and AITK setup.

Validation and limits

The exact app archive is SHA-256 17c2a8e37544d6578894ce8763235ab418272e44a452a21146701f81eaa87014. It is installed on Splunk Enterprise 10.2.8 and 10.4.4 without restart. The height fix was exercised in the installed 10.2.8 workspace and with a standalone synthetic example; saved definition readback remained identical.

CI passed: 63 frontend tests, 316 Python tests on each of Python 3.9 and 3.13, production build/package and secret scanning. Local AppInspect precert reports zero errors/failures, seven warnings and one skip. The existing frontend bundle-size warning remains.

The preceding 0.19.0 build passed twelve bounded non-admin creation/editing journeys across OpenAI, Ollama and AITK on one lab. Those full provider journeys were not repeated for this presentation-only patch. See the validation record for exact scope and remaining gates.

This is not version 1.0 or Splunk Cloud certification. The historical REST delivery cause, independent deployment/security review of transient reply storage, broader accessibility/native-feature coverage, unaided-user acceptance and cluster/Cloud qualification remain open.

Dependency notices · October 29, 2026

This historical installer uses the same pinned non-development dependency paths, versions and integrity records as 1.0.0. The added THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.zip supplies upstream notices omitted by the original collector; keep it with redistributed copies. Original installer, handoff, guide and runtime tag bytes are unchanged. SHA256SUMS now also covers the supplement. The maintained release line is 1.x. See the notice sources.
