v1.5.0

Released: July 15, 2026

v1.5.0 promotes the 1.5 line to stable, combining everything from the v1.5.0-rc.1 and v1.5.0-rc.2 release candidates after a round of soak time. This is a big one. It turns Kunobi into a home for more than just Kubernetes: a wave of new Sources — cloud, bare-metal, storage, network and now git providers — sit alongside your clusters, and many of them feed a rebuilt knowledge graph. It also brings CLI coding agents right into the app, ships the free Agent Gateway for running LLM and MCP proxies locally, and replaces the relationship graph with a far faster GPU-driven canvas. If you've been on the unstable channel since the release candidates, this update is effectively a no-op. New users on stable land here directly.

What's New

CLI coding agents inside Kunobi — the Terminal and AI buttons merge into a single Terminal console with two tabs. The AI tab opens on a CLI agent picker — Claude, Codex, Gemini and Copilot — and launches the agent right in the panel, with a one-click switch to Cloud AI. Account and Settings move up into the titlebar, trimming the left strip from 7 items to 5.
Agent Gateway — free and built in — a new extension, ready to use on a fresh install, that runs LLM and MCP proxies right inside Kunobi. Add a provider, compose a proxy with virtual keys and rate limits, and serve keyless traffic — Kunobi holds the real API key and injects it for you, so your apps never see it. It reaches eight major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex and Azure), which unlocks local models (Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio), the OpenAI-compatible long tail (OpenRouter, Groq, Together, Fireworks) and the three major clouds. It stays free, and it's still yours to remove — uninstall it and it stays uninstalled.
Virtual models with A/B routing — an Agent Gateway LLM proxy can expose a client-facing model name that maps to one or more real provider models. One target is a plain alias (chat → gpt-4o); several weighted targets give you a per-request A/B split.
Resilient proxies — every LLM and MCP proxy can retry transient upstream failures (429, 500, 502, 503, 504) with configurable backoff, and abort requests that exceed a request timeout, all configured inline on the proxy form.
Let an AI assemble your gateway config — a connected AI assistant can build a complete Agent Gateway setup (providers, virtual keys, MCP targets, rate limits and proxies) without ever seeing a secret. Every credential is left as a placeholder, each pending resource shows a Needs secret badge, and a proxy that depends on one refuses to start until you fill it in.
Cloud, bare-metal and storage Sources — six infrastructure integrations graduate to first-class, navigable Sources that appear in the Kubernetes section and connection manager alongside your clusters. Cloudflare — browse Zones, DNS records, Workers, Tunnels, Load Balancers, R2 buckets and more, with a Zone Analytics tab and DNS/purge actions. Redfish — manage bare-metal servers over their BMC as a resource tree (firmware, processors, memory, drives, NICs, temperatures, power) with power / LED / boot actions, a browser KVM launch and one-click in-app SSH. SNMP — add and poll SNMP devices as a Kubernetes-style kind. RBAC — see effective access on the active cluster with a "Who am I" panel and a namespace × resource × verb matrix, no extra credentials. Cilium — its observability workspace (Hubble, IP-pool utilization) appears automatically when installed. Ceph — monitor hosts, pools, RBD images, OSDs, alerts and silences. These are Pro-plan features.
GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket Sources — three new git-provider extensions bring visibility and administration over teams, members and repository permissions into the Sources and Data pages, with a provenance graph that explains why someone has access to a repo (direct grant, team, org role, or inheritance). They surface the security posture too: branch and tag protection rules, standing credentials, 2FA enforcement, outside collaborators and pending invitations. Each provider degrades honestly where its API can't answer rather than inventing data. These are Pro-plan features.
Extensions can expose tools to AI assistants — a new platform capability, opt-in per extension and off by default. Read-only tools run directly; anything that mutates requires explicit human approval first.
Extensions feed the knowledge graph — Cilium, Redfish, Cloudflare and Agent Gateway contribute their entities and relationships into Kunobi's knowledge graph, so a connected AI assistant can search and traverse them the same way it already does Kubernetes resources.
Table, graph, or both for Sources — credentialed sources can be explored as a table, as a relationship graph, or side by side in a resizable split, matching the Kubernetes drilldown. Clicking a graph node highlights its table row and vice-versa, and ⌘⇧V switches view mode here too.
Generative dashboards are free everywhere — AI-authored dashboards and data views now work in every build, including stable. They previously required Pro in production, and the frontend gate meant no shipped binary could enable them at all.

Improvements

A rebuilt relationship graph — the graph renders on a new GPU canvas driven by a native layout engine, and it shows. Panning and zooming stay smooth on large graphs thanks to spatial hit-testing and level-of-detail rendering, edges are routed and labelled properly, and node cards render the same way they do everywhere else in the app.
Zoom and fit controls, on by default — familiar zoom-in / zoom-out / fit-to-view buttons, and the mouse wheel now zooms toward the cursor.
Edges are color-coded by relation — every relation family (owned-by, manages, mounts, contains, depends-on, routes-to, …) gets its own color, and each Relations filter chip carries a matching color dot as a built-in legend. Previously every edge could collapse to the same purple.
Clearer graph selection — a single click selects a node and a double-click collapses it, so exploring no longer collapses things by accident. Marquee selection works across the canvas.
A roomier Git card — the commit view moves the changed-file list into a resizable column and gives the diff the full height of the card, side-by-side instead of stacked. A clean repo reclaims the space that used to just say "no uncommitted changes", drilling into a submodule no longer pushes the dashboard below it down, and long commit messages collapse to a single line.
Kunobi theme by default — new installs start on the refreshed Kunobi theme. Your selected theme is unchanged if you've already picked one.
Contextual "did you know" tips — Kunobi surfaces occasional feature-discovery tips a few minutes after startup, so they help you find capabilities without interrupting your flow.
Extension update monitor — the status bar now shows when installed extensions have updates available.
Everyday polish — collapsible log source names, a clearer terminal container picker with a proper loading state, info-icon tooltips on the ArgoCD Sync dialog's Prune and Force options, and a quieter cluster search that no longer triggers browser autocomplete or spellcheck.

Bug Fixes

More reliable live cluster data — a large batch of live-sync fixes keep views consistent through reconnects, resyncs and slow networks: acknowledged updates are retransmitted when dropped, out-of-order and post-resync updates are rejected, emit ordering is made consistent, and several subscription races that could stall or duplicate data were closed.
Table columns stop clipping their content — columns rendering monospace text, badges, status dots or icons now size to fit what's actually shown, across the Kubernetes drilldown, Cloudflare, Cloud Providers, Audit, Sources and Settings tables.
No more duplicate edges when expanding the graph — graph traversal de-duplicates edges, so expanding a node no longer stacks repeated relationships on top of each other.
Faster graph views on large clusters — expanding a fully-visible graph no longer walks the whole descendant tree, and the card overlay stays glued to the canvas while you pan.
Flux suspend and resume are reliable again — suspending a self-managed Kustomization (like flux-system) now sticks instead of being silently reverted, and resuming no longer occasionally re-suspends itself. Bulk and keyboard suspend/resume apply a definite intent rather than toggling from a stale view.
Extension compatibility is enforced on update — extensions that require a newer Kunobi are no longer loaded against an incompatible host, avoiding hard-to-diagnose failures.
Assorted layout and rendering fixes — a round of repro-tested fixes across graph layout, canvas and diagram rendering, plus event messages that truncate cleanly with an ellipsis and an Upgrade button that finally shows a pointer cursor.
