The Agent settings dialog with Defer to a previous run on, Defer to set to Environment, and production (default) selected
You can now choose what DinoAI agents defer to, per agent environment. Agents build only the models they change and reuse the rest from a previous run, so they finish faster and spend less warehouse compute.
  • Pick a target. In Settings > Environments > Agent, open an agent environment’s settings and turn on Defer to a previous run. Set Defer to to Environment, to use the latest successful run of any schedule in that Bolt environment, or to Schedule, to use one schedule.
  • New environments start deferred. New environment preselects the workspace’s default Bolt environment. Pick No deferral to turn it off.
  • See the target. Each agent environment shows what it defers to.
Agents defer by default and can add --favor-state when they need it. Commands that run through a wrapper script, such as make build, don’t defer. See Defer to a previous run. Shipped in Paradime v6.20.0.
