Release Notes — v0.20.0 (April 20, 2026)

✦ @workspai Chat Participant + AI Create Presets + Workspace Hardening

Summary

This release brings the @workspai participant directly into the VS Code Chat panel so users can interrogate their workspace and debug with AI without ever leaving the chat sidebar. It also ships smart categorised prompt presets in the AI Create modal, hardens workspace memory with full input sanitisation, makes workspace creation fully idempotent, enriches AI context with live module data fetched from the CLI, and registers a new set of workspace and cache/mirror commands.

Added

  • @workspai Chat Participant
    The extension now registers workspai.assistant as a VS Code chat participant.

    • /ask — freeform Q&A with full project context: architecture, installed modules, conventions, workspace memory, framework details
    • /debug — structured debug flow: root cause analysis, specific fix, prevention advice
      Both commands reuse the same prepareAIConversation → streamAIResponse pipeline as the Workspai AI modal, so the response quality is identical.

  • AI Create presets
    The AI Create modal now includes a categorised quick-fill preset system:

    • Categories: SaaS & commerce, Core backend, Microservices, Data & ML, Internal tools
    • Smart scoring surfaces the most relevant presets based on partial input already typed
    • Selecting a preset fills the prompt field instantly

  • "Which backend next?" poll
    A compact inline poll in the QuickLinks panel lets users vote for the next supported framework (Django / Express / Spring). The result is acknowledged inline with a friendly confirmation message.

  • Workspace commands suite
    New commands registered and palette-accessible:

    • workspai.workspaceBootstrap / workspai.workspaceSetup / workspai.workspaceInit
    • workspai.workspacePolicyShow / workspai.workspacePolicySet
    • workspai.cacheStatus / workspai.cacheClear / workspai.cachePrune / workspai.cacheRepair
    • workspai.mirrorStatus / workspai.mirrorSync / workspai.mirrorVerify / workspai.mirrorRotate
    • workspai.checkForUpdates

  • WorkspaceMemoryService unit tests
    New src/test/workspaceMemoryService.test.ts covering:

    • Read/write round-trips
    • Sanitisation of malformed conventions and decisions arrays
    • ISO timestamp validation and fallback behaviour
    • Concurrent-access and missing-file paths

Changed

  • Workspace memory hardening
    WorkspaceMemoryService now validates and sanitises all four memory fields (context, conventions, decisions, lastUpdated) on every read:

    • conventions and decisions are filtered to non-empty strings only
    • lastUpdated is validated as a real ISO timestamp and cleared if malformed
    • Corrupt entries are auto-corrected and written back in place

  • Live module catalogue in AI context
    aiService now fetches the available module catalogue directly from the CLI (rapidkit modules list --json-schema 1) with a 60-second in-process TTL cache. AI responses reference the real current module list rather than a static snapshot. Go workspaces bypass module catalogue lookups entirely (Go kits don't use the module marketplace).

  • Idempotent workspace creation
    createWorkspace now handles two edge cases gracefully:

    • A directory exists but has no .rapidkit-workspace marker (partial/failed previous run) → user is prompted to "Replace (delete & recreate)" or cancel
    • A .rapidkit-workspace marker already exists → CLI call is skipped entirely as a silent idempotent success

  • Brand icons updated
    media/icons/workspai.png and media/icons/workspai.svg updated to the current Workspai identity. Stale media/icons/rapidkits.svg removed.

Fixed

  • AI module slug validation
    Module slugs returned by the AI are now cross-checked against both the live module list and a vendor/category/slug regex (^(?:[a-z0-9-]+)\/[a-z0-9_-]+\/[a-z0-9_-]+$) before being applied to the CLI, preventing hallucinated module names from causing CLI errors.

  • Richer AI project context payload
    The context object passed to the AI now includes: python_version, rapidkit_cli_version, rapidkit_core_version, installed_modules (array of slugs), workspace_health (total/passed/warnings/errors/generatedAt), runtime, and engine — giving the model complete environment awareness for more accurate responses.
