The 5.3 line reached stable and immediately dropped into single-fix patch-RC mode.

multi-tenancymcprelease-branchesbackportsembedded-surveysmaintenance
◆Current state
Formbricks runs three release branches at once — 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 — publishing release candidates almost daily, most carrying a single backported fix. The 5.3 line has moved past its feature RCs: 5.3.0-rc.1 through rc.3 delivered MCP scope corrections, Helm volume extension points and an accessibility pass, and the branch is now on 5.3.4-rc.1, a one-line fix stopping no-overlay surveys from blocking the host page they sit on. Workspace and organization scoping remains the recurring thread, with the contact detail page the latest surface re-tied to its authorizing workspace.
◆Where it's heading
The multi-tenancy audit is still running and still backported everywhere rather than only forward — API keys, surveys, quotas, integrations, response imports and now the contact detail page have each been re-scoped in turn. Alongside it, the agent-facing surface built out in 5.2.0 is being refined rather than extended: the 5.3 MCP work is scope correction, not new capability. With 5.3 now issuing patch RCs a day or two apart, that branch has crossed from feature development into maintenance.
◆Prediction
Expect 5.3 to keep issuing single-fix patch release candidates while the next feature drop opens a 5.4 line, and 5.1 and 5.2 to continue receiving only security and billing backports.

    Backport stops no-overlay surveys blocking the host page

    A single backported fix stops no-overlay surveys from blocking interaction with the page they are embedded in. This is the 5.3 branch in maintenance mode: one defect per release candidate, days apart.

    Contact detail page re-scoped to its authorizing workspace

    The contact detail page is now tied to the workspace named in its URL, closing another cross-tenant access path. It is the same multi-tenancy sweep that already re-scoped API keys, surveys, quotas and integrations, arriving one surface at a time.

    Hub dependency bumped to 0.8.3 on the 5.3 branch

    A hub dependency bump to 0.8.3 backported to the 5.3 branch, with nothing else attached. Routine upkeep between the feature release candidate and the stable tag.

    Accessibility, OTEL and Helm fixes backported to 5.3

    A batch backport covering typegen validation exit codes, OTEL transport resolution, a bounded Helm worker wait, and a calendar hover state brought up to WCAG AA. The accessibility fix is the one users would notice; the rest is release hygiene ahead of 5.3.0 stable.

    MCP scope fixes and Helm extension points open the 5.3 line

    The 5.3 feature release candidate, carrying Helm volume extension points and corrections to how MCP clients request surveys:write and validate_survey scopes. The MCP server itself arrived in 5.2.0, so this refines its permission model rather than extending the agent surface. The body is truncated at 8000 characters, so the full change list is not visible in the feed.

    Reverse-trial billing leak and response-import scoping fixed

    Two backports to the 5.2 branch: reverse trials could launder into an active paid plan, and historical response imports were not scoped to the authorizing workspace. Billing correctness and tenancy isolation, the two threads that dominate every branch.
