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):

• 2ff3a50 — 2026-05-23 — chore: commit rapidkit-vscode stable extension changes; preserve current stable AI feature base

  • Files: README.md, src/commands/aiFreeFeatures.ts, src/commands/chatParticipant.ts, src/commands/incidentStudioNext.ts, src/ui/panels/welcomePanel.ts, src/ui/panels/incidentStudioPanel.ts, webview redesign files under webview-ui/src/components/StudioRedesign/, webview-ui/src/lib/studioFeatureFlags.ts, webview-ui/esbuild.js
  • Impact: High — includes localization cleanup, deterministic textual-order alignment for contract tests (non-functional change), and in-tree Studio redesign (opt-in).

• ead47c2 — 2026-05-22 — feat(workspace): add autopilot release command integration

  • Files: package.json, src/commands/workspaceOperations.ts, src/test/driftGuard.test.ts, src/ui/panels/welcomePanel.ts
  • Impact: Low — release/autopilot integration and test adjustments.

• 05c2c3d — 2026-05-19 — stabilization: extract creation/report lanes in welcome panel

  • Files: src/ui/panels/welcomePanel.ts
  • Impact: Medium — refactors lanes to improve lifecycle clarity.

• 19af650 — 2026-05-19 — stabilization: isolate activation and incident lanes (wave 2)

  • Files: src/extension.ts, src/ui/panels/welcomePanel.ts
  • Impact: Medium — isolates lanes to reduce startup/incident cross-effects.

• 96a6fab — 2026-05-19 — fix(stabilization): harden polyglot watchers and AI stream reliability

  • Files: src/core/aiModelSelection.ts, src/core/aiService.ts, src/extension.ts, src/ui/panels/welcomePanel.shared.ts, src/ui/panels/welcomePanel.ts
  • Impact: High — core AI runtime and model-selection fixes; important for streaming stability and fallback behavior.

Notes

• Release tag: v0.29.1
• Release is stabilization-only and intended to preserve the stable AI baseline.
