Highlights

The headlining change in this release is a live run view that shows what kane-cli is actually doing — step labels appear as the AI reasons, with a typewriter effect and a real-time describe panel. Behind that, a new text-based assertion engine (textual visual) gives the AI a stable, code-driven way to check page content without relying solely on screenshots.

[0.4.7] - 2026-06-22

A live run view that shows what's happening

  • Step labels appear as the AI reasons — instead of waiting until a step completes, the label streams in with a typewriter effect and a blinking cursor, so you can follow along in real time.
  • A dedicated describe panel in the run view — a bordered box below the activity line shows a plain-English description of what the browser just did, updating live as each step finishes.
  • The objective header is now a proper bordered box — replaces the flat grey bar, making it easier to visually separate your goal from the step activity below.
  • Long objectives no longer overflow the terminal — the run box wraps long objective text and pins itself to your terminal width. The step timer no longer flickers on updates.

More accurate assertions and text extraction

  • A new text-based assertion path checks page content via code, not just screenshots — for assertions, kane-cli can now extract structured DOM content and run a code extractor against it, giving more stable and replay-safe results.
  • Boolean checks now steer toward presence vs. state — rather than brittle exact-match comparisons, the AI now uses a dedicated mode that asks whether something is present or in a given state, reducing false failures.
  • Assertion intent carries through to code export — the query, expected value, and unit-conversion flag from a heal/assertion step now travel all the way into exported automation code.

Cleaner, more accurate step labels

  • Step labels are generated in parallel with execution — the humanizer runs alongside the action node so labels appear faster, without blocking the step.
  • Labels are cleaner by default — auto-generated step labels strip autopilot grounding descriptors and redundant "wait" language, and whitespace-only names are normalized at ingestion.
  • The initial navigate step now always gets a label and rationale — the first navigate step no longer silently skips humanization.

Reliability and display fixes

  • Loopback URLs get the right scheme — hosts like localhost now correctly get http:// instead of being flagged as unresolvable.
  • Screenshots are labeled correctly — images were being sent as image/png even when they were JPEG; the content type is now correct.
