Release Notes
Latest Release: v0.25.2 (February 27, 2026)
🧠 v0.25.2 — Smart Init Orchestration, Clearer Go UX, and Delegation Boundary Hardening (Patch)
This patch makes rapidkit init significantly more resilient across Python/Node/Go projects by enforcing wrapper-owned orchestration with runtime-aware fallbacks, then closes delegation edge-cases that caused noisy/misleading Go command failures.
What's New:
-
🧭 Explicit command ownership matrix for wrapper vs core
initis now an explicitly wrapper-orchestrated project command to keep policy + fallback behavior consistent.- Added contract doc:
docs/contracts/COMMAND_OWNERSHIP_MATRIX.md.
-
🚀 Smart multi-runtime
initbehavior- Runtime inference improved via project metadata + file heuristics (
go.mod,package.json,pyproject.toml,requirements.txt). - Python init now enforces project-local
.venvusage and has pip-based fallback install paths. - Node init now attempts package-manager fallbacks when primary install path fails.
- Runtime inference improved via project metadata + file heuristics (
-
🛡️ Delegation boundary hardening
- Go/Node lifecycle commands (
dev/start/build/test) remain on wrapper/runtime adapter path where needed. - Prevents misrouting of flags (e.g.,
dev --port) into unintended local-launcher/Makefile paths.
- Go/Node lifecycle commands (
-
🗣️ Go missing-toolchain UX fix
rapidkit initand lifecycle commands now emit clear actionable error messages when Go is missing, instead of silent/noisy failure patterns.

🛠️ v0.25.1 — Poetry Fallback Stabilization, Multi-Platform Doctor Hardening, and Windows Workspace Launcher Coverage (Patch)
This patch release finalizes the new Poetry-missing fallback behavior, hardens cross-platform doctor/tool detection, and closes the remaining legacy Windows workspace launcher gap.
What's New:
-
🐍 Poetry fallback stabilization in create flow
- If
installMethod=poetryis selected but Poetry is unavailable, workspace creation now reliably auto-falls back tovenvwithout blocking install prompts. - Behavior is applied consistently across interactive create and registration paths.
- If
-
🌍 Cross-platform detection hardening
doctornow checkspython -m poetryandpython -m pipxacross Python candidates when binaries are missing.- Tool path probing now relies on centralized platform-capability helpers rather than fragmented ad-hoc path assumptions.
-
🪟 Legacy workspace launcher parity on Windows
- Workspace creation now emits both
rapidkitandrapidkit.cmdwrappers so local workspace commands have native Windows entry points.
- Workspace creation now emits both
-
🧪 Test contract alignment
- Updated create-internal Poetry tests to match intentional fallback semantics while preserving pipx behavior guarantees.
- Full test suite remains green after alignment.

🧭 v0.25.0 — Help Surface Unification, Workspace Policy/List Contract Completion, and Reliability Hardening (Minor)
This minor release unifies the root help UX across entry modes, completes workspace command contract coverage (workspace list, policy set/show) across docs/tests/help text, and hardens runtime/workspace reliability for production workflows.
What's New:
-
🧱 Workspace command contract completion
- Standardized/expanded workspace command references (including
workspace list) across:- root help output
- README/docs command examples
- docs drift guard expectations
- CLI integration and contract test suites
- Standardized/expanded workspace command references (including
-
🧪 Phase-3 contract and process coverage expansion
- Extended process-level integration coverage for workspace policy operations and list flows.
- Strengthened command contract tests for lifecycle/policy behavior and help consistency.
- Added deterministic dist-refresh handling in CLI entry tests when build artifacts are missing/stale.
-
⚙️ Runtime/workspace hardening updates
- Improved bridge/runtime execution reliability and adapter-path handling in wrapper-core integration.
- Hardened workspace registry behavior (normalization/dedupe/pruning paths) and reduced noisy debug output.
- Updated create/doctor/runtime flows to better align with workspace-first operations.
-
📚 Governance and docs alignment
- Professionalized governance and setup docs to match current command contracts and release expectations.
- CI/docs workflow alignment updates in:
.github/workflows/ci.yml.github/workflows/e2e-smoke.yml
