## 🐞 Bug Fixes

**What we squashed this release:**

### Import Workflow Modal

* **Improved**: Better visibility and accessibility of deployment controls

### Workflow and Folder Management

* **Fixed**: Left sidebar keeps loading even when workflow/folder is renamed successfully
* **Improved**: More responsive interface updates after rename operations

### Generation Timeout Issues in Playground

* **Fixed**: Optimized generation to prevent timeouts when using custom nodes with long cold start times
* **Improved**: Better handling of extended processing times for complex workflows

### Pod Permissions
