## July 2026

**Project-Scoped Device Lookup**

* `GET /v1/devices` now accepts an exact `serial_number` filter and returns zero or one device in the standard collection response.
* Serial-number lookup is scoped to the authenticated project. Empty results do not reveal whether a device exists in another project.
* `POST /v1/devices` remains create-only and returns `409 Conflict` for duplicate serial numbers.

**Auto-Processing & Hierarchical Configuration**

* **Auto-Transcription** — Automatically transcribe recordings when upload completes. Configurable ASR provider per organization, project, end user, or device.
* **Auto-Summary** — Automatically generate summaries when transcription completes. Configurable LLM provider and template (general notes, sales call, clinical SOAP, legal memo).
* **Hierarchical Configuration** — New `processing` config section joins `connection` and `upload`. Set defaults at the organization level and override at project, end user, or device level with deep-merge inheritance.
* **Config API Endpoints** — `GET/PUT/DELETE` config endpoints available for all entity levels (organizations, projects, end users, devices).

See the [Auto-Processing Guide](/guides/auto-processing) and [Hierarchical Configuration Guide](/guides/hierarchical-config) for details.
