Workspai VSCode v0.36.0

Release Notes

v0.36.0 (unreleased)

Reliable sessions and first-install-safe creation

This release aligns Workspai for VS Code with CLI 0.52.3 and makes ownership of
Studio and Create operations explicit across reloads, failures, and fresh
machines.

Highlights:

• Studio no longer treats persisted repair history as proof that a provider
  process is still running.
• Interrupted Create sessions become truthful, removable stopped records.
• Creating the first project can safely establish
  ~/.workspai/workspaces/workspai even when no Workspai directories exist.
• The default managed workspace is runtime-neutral and does not install the
  optional Python engine.
• CLI discovery recognizes global npm and common Node version managers without
  contacting the registry during activation.
• Dependency remediation retains guarded, project-native resolution paths when
  no safe automatic fix exists.

Compatibility:

• VS Code 1.106.0+
• Workspai CLI 0.52.3+
• RapidKit Core 0.6.0 only for Python-backed kits/modules

Workspai VSCode v0.35.0

Release Notes

v0.35.0

Workspace Intelligence, verified goals, and dependable Studio repair

This release aligns Workspai for VS Code with CLI 0.52.0 across the primary
sidebar, Dashboard, Create, Setup, and Assistant.

Highlights:

• Dashboard sections are Home, Run, Repair, Artifacts, Graph, Project, and
  Library, with truthful missing/stale evidence states.
• Create supports the complete canonical backend, frontend, desktop, and
  extension kit catalog plus explicit adopt/import flows.
• Ask, Plan, and Agent share the selected workspace/project scope.
• Agent accepts ordinary engineering goals as well as blocker cards.
• Verified goals cover release preparation, non-breaking dependency repair, and
  test-coverage targets.
• Studio requires real source change evidence, closes dependency transactions,
  refreshes the governed Workspace Intelligence loop, and accepts completion
  only from fresh non-blocking verification.
• CLI-authored Doctor strategy, typed repair operations, and verification
  commands reach Studio without being dropped.
• Project Explorer recognizes current Rust, PHP, desktop, and extension kits.
• Setup discovers global and version-manager CLI installations and keeps
  RapidKit Core optional for non-Python workspaces.
• Recovery-mode creation uses the canonical .workspai-workspace marker and
  an honest synchronization guide.

Compatibility:

• VS Code 1.106.0+
• Workspai CLI 0.52.0+
• RapidKit Core 0.6.0 only for Python-backed kits/modules

Validation:

• 356 test files passed
• 2510 tests passed; 2 skipped
• CLI/extension contract parity passed
• 172 palette commands synchronized
• TypeScript host/webview checks passed
• Production build passed

v0.33.0

Release Notes

v0.33.0 (June 8, 2026)

✦ .NET Setup Runtime and Enterprise Profile Parity

Summary:

• Promote the extension release to 0.33.0 because 0.32.1 was pushed but not published to the marketplace.
• Complete .NET runtime setup coverage across the VS Code command palette and dashboard setup experience.
• Add dotnet-only profile parity across schemas, completions, hover help, AI creation, command reference, and workspace creation UI.
• Harden subprocess-based release gate tests and RapidKit CLI fallback tests so CI remains deterministic across operating systems.

Highlights:

• Setup Runtime now includes .NET alongside Python, Node.js, Go, and Java.
• The setup dashboard can detect, verify, and guide installation for .NET SDK 8+.
• Workspace bootstrap profiles now include dotnet-only, and polyglot/enterprise copy clearly includes .NET.
• Extension metadata now advertises .NET Web API and C# support for marketplace discovery.
• Drift guards now protect .NET and profile parity from silently regressing.

Validation:

• ./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit
• ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run

Release posture: runtime-profile-parity-and-extension-stabilization

v0.32.1 (June 8, 2026)

✦ Runtime Command Surface Parity and Module Boundary Hardening

Summary:

• Align the Workspai extension with RapidKit npm 0.32.1 command contracts.
• Add a shared runtime command surface contract so scaffold kits, lifecycle commands, runtime tiers, and module-support boundaries cannot drift silently.
• Restrict AI module suggestions to FastAPI and NestJS, while clearly guiding Go, Spring Boot, and .NET users toward their native package ecosystems.
• Update dashboard, setup, command reference, module browser, module details, and AI creation surfaces to the pinned npm wrapper form.

Highlights:

• Extension-host calls now use npx --yes --package rapidkit rapidkit ... instead of relying on ambiguous local/global command resolution.
• FastAPI and NestJS remain module-capable; Go, Spring Boot, and .NET are scaffold/import/runtime-supported but do not expose RapidKit module marketplace suggestions.
• .NET AI creation copy now correctly explains NuGet/native adapter extension paths instead of reusing Spring Boot module text.
• Studio and README command snippets now use current doctor workspace/project scopes and pinned npm commands.
• Runtime parity tests cover scaffold kit exposure, AI module suggestion boundaries, command snippets, and npm wrapper usage.

Validation:

• npm run typecheck
• npm run check:parity-snapshot
• vitest run src/test/runtimeCommandSurfaceParity.test.ts src/test/driftGuard.test.ts src/test/platformCapabilities.test.ts src/test/springSupportContracts.test.ts src/test/aiService.test.ts

v0.29.1

Release 0.29.1 — Stable AI Baseline Patch

Date: 2026-05-23

This release consolidates an important set of stabilization and governance changes applied since v0.29.0 and publishes the validated stable AI baseline. These are meaningful improvements — not merely trivial edits — and include runtime, contract, and governance hardening across host and webview flows. The new Incident Studio is delivered in-tree as an opt-in experience and does not alter stable AI routing unless explicitly enabled.

Highlights

• AI runtime & streaming hardening (deterministic model selection, robust cancellation/timeouts, safe stream lifecycle, duplicate done prevention).
• Memory policy exposure and write-access contract enforcement across host and payload flows.
• Doctor, provenance, verify gates, and export reliability improvements to reduce false-positive verification claims.
• Incident Studio (vNext) delivered as opt-in (localStorage flag incident-studio-ui-version), compiled and included but gated by user choice.
• Localization cleanup and a single deterministic textual ordering alignment to preserve contract tests (no runtime behavior change).

Validation

• npm run compile — OK
• npm run typecheck — OK
• npx vitest run — OK (1013 tests)

Commit-level audit (v0.29.0..HEAD):
