Highlights

This release adds context sync: a shared context store that lives in a git repository, an S3-compatible bucket, or a synced folder, with guided setup, typed refusals, and a replay engine that puts your work back after a reset. Mobile runs can attach to an Appium session you already have.

[0.8.14] - 2026-09-15

Share a context store with your team

  • Set up sharing in one guided flow — kane-cli context sync setup walks you through sharing over GitHub, an S3-compatible bucket, or a plain folder, or joining a team's existing context.
  • Refusals read like sentences, not stack traces — an unreachable location, a denied account, or an empty location each come back as a named refusal with the remedy, and bucket or Git output is never echoed back.
  • Setup keeps what you typed — after a refusal your address and credentials survive, a changed bucket re-asks only for keys, and the closing line gives you an address you can paste.
  • Credentials are handled carefully — key pairs are validated before they are saved, a rejected pair is handed back, files are written 0600, and a failed clone restores origin's keys.
  • Conflict? — status, the behind advisory, and the refusal all name the location and point you at pull --rebase (or clone for the first position).
  • Scriptable end to end — every sync command takes --mode agent with typed events, --json output, exit code 2 on usage errors, and no echoed option values.

Deciding what wins during a rebase

  • A decision panel you can read — one panel per walk, each side labeled by what actually tells them apart, with field-level diffs for edits.
  • Answer decisions inline or ahead of time — sync and pull finish an open rebase, status and doctor look without changing anything, and --answer resolves a card directly.
  • Writes are fenced while a rebase is open — the store only accepts writes from the walk, so nothing lands behind your back mid-decision.
  • Quieter output — no notices on context verbs, one line per decision, a summary block at the end, and Ctrl+C pauses instead of tearing the walk down.

Tests can branch and loop

  • Branches survive export — local mobile export records the whole if/else structure, not just the branch that happened to run, and picks the taken branch from the recorded run.
  • Healing keeps your structure — a block that produced no runs is kept in the healed draft instead of being dropped.

Attach to existing appium sessions

  • Attach to an Appium session you already have — run --appium-session-id joins a live session, and an attached session never launches the app, so the opening action stands in for the launch.
  • Clear refusals on conflicting flags — a conflict names only the flags you actually passed, in plain language.

New store housekeeping

  • .context/ is gitignored automatically — creating a store inside a Git repository adds it, and a store exported by sync doctor --export gets the entry in its own folder's .gitignore too.
  • First landings report what happened — a first landing from a URL tells you the .gitignore outcome, across every URL provider family.
