Salesforce,
2026 current.

The deepest pack in the catalog. The 2025–2026 platform reset — Agentforce, Data 360, MCP-native development, ECA migration, MFA mandate — captured across 11 role overlays.

Overview

About the Salesforce pack.

Salesforce shipped more breaking change in the last twelve months than the previous five years combined. Agentforce replaced Einstein Copilot. Data Cloud became Data 360. Apex got Cursors. LWC got TypeScript. The MCP server went GA. External Client Apps deprecated plain Connected Apps. MFA went mandatory. Heroku stopped selling. Functions retired.

A baseline LLM with a 2024 cutoff will get every one of these wrong. The Salesforce pack carries the opinion of an architect who already lives in the new platform — picking Flow vs Apex vs Agentforce correctly, knowing when MFA enforcement kicks in, understanding why the Atlas Reasoning Engine needs narrow Topics and deterministic Actions.

Eleven of the team's twenty roles meaningfully change on Salesforce. The pack carries one composed file per role plus a stack-wide briefing and per-product canonical pages.

Overview

What it covers.

  • Data 360 (Zero Copy)
  • Agentforce (Topics + Actions)
  • Atlas Reasoning Engine
  • Salesforce-Hosted MCP Server

Overview

The 2025–2026 platform reset.

Twelve specific changes a 2024-cutoff model will get wrong. Each one is captured in the overlays — by name, by date, with the right replacement pattern attached.

  • Einstein Copilot → Agentforce
    Renamed January 2025. Same product, new name. Anything quoting "Einstein Copilot" in 2026 is stale.
  • Data Cloud → Data 360
    Renamed at Dreamforce '25. The lakehouse-style customer data platform, with Zero Copy to Snowflake / Databricks / BigQuery / Redshift.
  • Apex Cursors (Spring '26)
    Iterate up to 50M-row SOQL result sets across transactions without heap explosion. Narrows the gap with Batch Apex for streaming.
  • LWC TypeScript types + `lightning/graphql`
    Spring '26 GA. Typed wire adapters. GraphQL mutations from LWC. The deprecated `lightning/uiGraphQLApi` should be migrated off.
  • Salesforce-Hosted MCP Servers GA
    TDX 2026 (April). Every Enterprise+ org exposes 60+ MCP tools. External agent clients (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) can drive Salesforce end-to-end.
  • Headless 360
    TDX 2026. Every layer of the platform exposed as APIs, MCP tools, or CLI. The agent client becomes the UI; Salesforce is the system of record + action plane.
  • External Client Apps mandate
    By May 11, 2026 all Connected Apps must migrate to ECA. Plain Connected Apps cannot be created new after that date.
  • MFA mandate
    Phased June–August 2026 for all UI logins. Phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2 / passkeys) required for admins, View All / Modify All / Author Apex users.
  • Flow Orchestration is free
    Standard Flow type as of February 2026. Multi-step, multi-user workflows with approval stages — no separate add-on license.
  • Lightning Out 2.0 GA
    Winter '26. Embed LWCs in external sites without Aura wrappers. Decade in beta finally done.
  • Heroku end of new enterprise sales
    February 2026. Existing customers can renew; new enterprise contracts stopped. AWS Lambda / GCP Cloud Run / Azure Functions called via Named Credentials is the replacement.
  • Salesforce Functions retirement
    January 31, 2025. The custom-runtime replacement is external compute via Named Credentials.
