Highlights

This release delivers end-to-end API task execution inside test runs — kane-cli can now call external APIs as steps in a flow, thread the results through to subsequent steps, and capture the full prompt/tool/output trace for every request. Logging and error surfacing for API steps are also substantially more reliable: failed API calls now surface as failures, and no capture data is silently dropped.

[0.4.6] - 2026-06-18

API steps inside test flows

  • Call external APIs as first-class test steps — flows can now include execute_api steps that dispatch a named API call, store the response, and pass it forward to later steps in the same run.
  • Child flows inherit API context — when a flow spawns a child, the child has access to the parent's API registry and writes its response back so the parent can read it; this chains correctly across multiple nesting levels.
  • API variables resolve by dot-path — output values from an API step can be referenced with dot-path syntax in subsequent conditions and actions, including inside if_else branches that follow an API step.

Capture and observability

  • API request captures are no longer silently dropped — every upload attempt (prompt, tools, output, usage) now logs success or error explicitly, so missing data is always visible in the run log.
  • Bifurcation decisions are written to disk — phase-segmentation bifurcation logs are persisted to runs/<n>/bifurcation.log in both normal and testing mode, so the branching decision is always inspectable after a run.

Reliability and failure surfacing

  • Fixed: child flows ran without their tools — a flow spawned from another flow wasn't receiving its tools (tab switching, the ask-user prompt, file upload, etc.), so nested flows silently couldn't perform actions a top-level flow could. Spawned flows now inherit the parent's full tool set and behave the same as top-level flows.
  • No orphan run directories on early exit — the run directory is allocated lazily, so runs that return early (e.g. due to a pre-flight error) no longer leave empty directories behind
