v0.1.0-beta.22

Released: February 17, 2026

What's New

FilterBar, ActionBar, and Keyboard-Driven Resource Management

Kunobi now includes a powerful resource management toolbar with advanced filtering, bulk actions, and keyboard-first navigation.

• FilterBar with plugin-based filtering — type ns: to filter by namespace, @ by context, .field=value for field-based filters, /regex/ for regular expressions, and "exact match" for exact text search
• ActionBar for bulk operations — select multiple resources and apply actions like delete, cordon/uncordon, scale, port-forward, reconcile, and sync in one go
• Keyboard shortcuts for common actions — c to cordon, u to uncordon, e to view events, Mod+Shift+A to toggle select all, Escape to clear selection
• Progressive overflow — ActionBar collapses gracefully on smaller screens with an overflow menu
• Info tooltip showing all available filter syntax at a glance

Cluster Reconnection Improvements

Reconnection after macOS sleep/wake cycles or VPN disconnects is now faster and more reliable.

• TCP health probes detect network-down state instantly (5-second timeout) before attempting full API pings
• Fixed a bug where the reconnection loop could get stuck when backoff delays exceeded 10 seconds
• New auto-reconnect retries setting in General preferences — configure the number of retry attempts, or set to 0 for infinite retries

CLI Version Flag

Run kunobi --version from the command line to check your installed Kunobi version.

Improvements

Events Tab

• Events are now scoped to the selected resource — only relevant events are shown when drilling into a specific pod, deployment, or other resource
• Fixed stale event data persisting when switching between resources
• Resolved an infinite re-render loop triggered by sidebar tab shortcuts
• Events watcher now waits for an active cluster connection before starting, preventing spurious errors
• Styled tooltips for truncated event messages replace the browser's native tooltip

Connection Error Messages

• When a cluster connection fails, Kunobi now shows the actual backend error (e.g., "connection refused") instead of a generic "not connected" message

Bug Fixes

Terminal

• Terminal tabs now close automatically when you type exit or press Ctrl+D, instead of attempting to reconnect
• Fixed focus not returning to the previous element when closing the terminal panel

Visual and Platform Fixes

• Smoother theme transitions — no more dark flash when using light theme
• Improved keyboard shortcut reliability on Linux
• Fixed terminal focus issues on Linux (X11 and Wayland)
