## Timeline of updates

- **identified** 2026-01-16 21:21 UTC: Foundational Flows are temporarily restricted to users with Beta/Experimental features enabled despite being a GA feature. Our team has identified a fix. As a workaround, you can enable Beta and Experimental features to enable Foundational Flows. - https://docs.gitlab.com/user/gitlab\_duo/turn\_on\_off/\#turn-on-beta-and-experimental-features - https://docs.gitlab.com/user/duo\_agent\_platform/flows/foundational\_flows/
- **identified** 2026-01-20 06:10 UTC: Foundational flows now run correctly when experimental/beta features are disabled. Workaround: To enable foundational flows, temporarily turn on experimental/beta features, enable the flows, save, then disable experimental/beta features. A complete fix removing this workaround is in review and will be included in an upcoming patch release.
- **resolved** 2026-01-21 01:07 UTC: The issue has been resolved. Foundational flows are now operating correctly as a GA feature. More details are available in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work\_items/586912
