v0.1.0-beta.25

Released: March 10, 2026

What's New

Workspaces & Filter Presets

Workspaces are now a first-class concept in Kunobi. You can create, save, and switch between workspaces that remember your filterbar state and column visibility — so you can jump between different views of your cluster without losing context.

Filter presets — save your current filterbar configuration as a named preset, then restore it with one click. Includes full create, rename, and delete support, plus a quick-save keyboard shortcut.
Workspace pinning — pin your favorite workspaces to the vertical strip bar for one-click access. Pinned workspaces appear as icons in a scrollable section of the sidebar. Pin or unpin from the workspace dropdown or with Shift+P.
Default K8s workspace — choose whether Kunobi starts in the "General" workspace (common resources) or "Advanced" (extended resource types) as your default landing view.
GitOps workspace — a new built-in workspace tailored for GitOps workflows, automatically grouping resources by Argo CD, Flux, and other GitOps tools detected in your cluster.

Unified View Mode Selector

A new unified selector in the filterbar lets you quickly switch between different view modes and variants for each page — such as layout options, visualization styles, or event types. Press ⌘⇧V (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+V (Windows/Linux) to open it. Your selection is remembered per page.

Navigate the right sidebar entirely with your keyboard:

Alt+Arrow keys to focus and unfocus the sidebar
Ctrl+D / Ctrl+U for half-page scrolling
J / K or arrow keys to move between elements

Tool Health & Upgrade Detection

Kunobi now keeps an eye on your development tools (Kind, Kubectl, Helm) and lets you know when something needs attention:

Missing tools badge — a color-coded badge in the status bar alerts you when required tools aren't installed (orange) or have upgrades available (blue). Click it to see per-tool status and jump straight to Settings.
Upgrade indicators — the Settings/Tools table shows available version upgrades inline (e.g., 3.14.0 → 3.15.0), and you can trigger upgrades directly with the G shortcut or from the action bar.
Background monitoring — tool status refreshes automatically on startup and every 15 minutes, so the badge always reflects the latest state.

DevTools Onboarding Step

First-time users now see an optional setup step during onboarding that checks whether Kind, Kubectl, and Helm are installed — and lets you install any missing tools with one click before you start working with clusters.

Offline Mode Indicator

When Kunobi can't reach the backend, the homepage now shows a clear offline mode indicator so you always know your connection status.

Improvements

Status bar redesigned — badges are reordered for better grouping (Network, Tool Health, MCP) to keep related indicators together.
Subscription recovery hardened — zstore subscriptions now retry with exponential backoff (1s, 2s) instead of silently failing, preventing permanent dead states after network interruptions.
MCP session lifecycle — improved session cleanup guards and diagnostics to prevent stale sessions.
Watcher error reasons — Kubernetes watcher errors now surface specific reasons in the drilldown view instead of generic failure messages.

Bug Fixes

Terminal large paste fixed — pasting 100+ lines no longer freezes the terminal. The root cause was a non-blocking PTY write that silently dropped data; writes now retry correctly.
Terminal UTF-8 corruption fixed — multi-byte characters split across read boundaries are now reassembled correctly instead of showing replacement characters.
Drilldown scroll bounce removed — the bouncing animation at table scroll limits has been removed for a smoother experience.
