TestRail 10.9.1032: Expand API automation and strengthen access control

TestRail 10.9.1032 adds POST /rerun_plan/{plan_id} and POST /rerun_run/{run_id} so integrations can rerun existing plans or runs in one request, optionally copying assignees.

API and integration enhancements

These endpoints rerun existing records without reconstructing them through multiple API calls. POST /add_cases_to_run/{run_id} appends cases to an existing run atomically. It is important to note, that duplicate IDs are ignored, and it returns the updated run object.

• GET /get_test_states_for_run/{run_id} returns each test's latest result without its complete history.
• GET /get_cases_count/{project_id} and GET /get_bdds_count/{project_id} count records matching the filters supported by get_cases and get_bdds, without retrieving full datasets.
• The updated_after filter now applies to get_runs, get_plans, and get_milestones. Adding a result also updates the associated run's updated_on timestamp.
• get_case, add_case, get_run, and add_run expose test case version information. API responses include is_ai_generated and is_ai_automated for AI-generated or AI-automated cases.
• Admin users can delete attachments through the API for closed and archived runs and plans.

Automatic user deactivation

At Admin > Site Settings > Application, administrators can enable or disable automatic deactivation, define the inactivity threshold, and configure the frequency of when the process runs.

Database query performance improvements

Database-query optimizations have improved performance and reduce database load for large TestRail instances, particularly when working with test runs, archived case labels, and attachments.
