Vortex Release Version (September 13, 2026)

• Enhanced settlement reference generation to use a persistent global counter across application lifecycles instead of resetting for each execution run. Concurrent or overlapping settlement batches closing within the same second now receive unique reference identifiers across all generated payment files, preventing batch reference collisions and improving file tracking during automated validation and processing.

• Resolved an issue where transient Redis network timeouts could cause host service crashes due to unhandled event listener errors. Added a default error handler to the persistence monitoring component to safely capture and log connection errors throughout its operational lifecycle while preserving active batch flush rejection handling and background processing stability.

Impact

These updates improve settlement file tracking and system stability across the Vortex platform. Persistent settlement reference generation prevents identifier collisions between concurrent batches, while improved Redis error handling prevents transient connection issues from causing host service crashes or interrupting background processing.
