v1.5.0-rc.1

Released: July 1, 2026

The first release candidate on the 1.5 track. The headline is a wave of new infrastructure integrations — Cloudflare, Redfish, SNMP, RBAC, Cilium and Ceph now surface as first-class Sources inside the Kubernetes drilldown, several of them feeding the knowledge graph so connected AI assistants can reason over them. This cut also introduces the free Agent Gateway extension for running LLM and MCP proxies locally, contextual "did you know" tips, the Kunobi theme on by default, and a large batch of live-data and graph-rendering reliability fixes. Install from the kunobi-unstable channel to try it; the stable track is unchanged.

What's New

Six infrastructure integrations graduate from the internal playground to first-class, navigable Sources. Each appears in the Kubernetes section and connection manager alongside your clusters. These are Pro-plan features.

Cloudflare — connect a Cloudflare account and browse Zones, DNS records, Workers, Worker Routes, Tunnels, Load Balancers, Pools, Monitors and R2 buckets as sortable, drillable tables, with a Zone Analytics tab (24h / 7d / 30d traffic) and DNS/purge actions.
Redfish — manage bare-metal servers over their BMC as a navigable resource tree: firmware, processors, memory, drives, NICs, volumes, temperatures, fans and power supplies, plus power / LED / next-boot actions, a browser KVM launch and a one-click in-app SSH terminal into the BMC.
SNMP — add SNMP devices as a Source and browse them as a Kubernetes-style kind with device overview and poll-result tabs, polling on demand.
RBAC — see effective access on the active cluster at a glance: a "Who am I" identity panel, a namespace × resource × API-group matrix with verbs as green/grey action pills, and a per-namespace resource grid. No extra credentials — it rides your connected cluster.
Cilium — when Cilium is installed, its observability workspace appears automatically: Hubble configuration, IP-pool utilization and per-agent detail, no credentials required.
Ceph — monitor a Ceph storage cluster across hosts, pools, RBD images and snapshots, OSDs, alerts and silences, with free-text search that now matches nested and computed columns.
Agent Gateway (free) — a new built-in extension 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. MCP proxies support stdio, Streamable HTTP and SSE targets, with per-proxy Start / Stop / Auto-start. Providers, keys and limits persist across restarts, and all secrets live in your OS keychain.
Extensions feed the knowledge graph — Cilium, Redfish and Cloudflare now 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.
Contextual "did you know" tips — Kunobi now surfaces occasional feature-discovery tips to help you find capabilities you might have missed, appearing a few minutes after startup so they never interrupt your flow.
Extension update monitor — the status bar now shows when installed extensions have updates available, so you're not stuck on stale versions.

Improvements

Kunobi theme by default — new installs now start on the refreshed Kunobi theme. Your selected theme is unchanged if you've already picked one.
Collapsible log source names — the log viewer can shorten long source prefixes, with a toggle to expand the full name when you need it.
Clearer terminal container picker — the terminal's container selector now uses the standard dropdown control with a proper loading state while containers resolve.
ArgoCD Sync modal tooltips — the Prune and Force options in the ArgoCD Sync dialog now carry info-icon tooltips explaining what each one does before you run a sync.
Quieter cluster search — the cluster selector's search field no longer triggers browser autocomplete or spellcheck suggestions.

Bug Fixes

More reliable live cluster data — a large batch of live-sync fixes make views hold together 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.
Smoother, more correct graph canvas — the relationship graph gets steadier rendering and a round of layout, edge and GPU-hardening fixes, so nodes and edges are placed correctly and panning and zooming stay smooth.
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.
Event messages truncate cleanly — long Kubernetes event messages now end with an ellipsis instead of being hard-cut mid-word.

Installation

This is an unstable release. To try it on Homebrew or winget, use the unstable identifiers:

brew install --cask kunobi-unstable

winget install kunobi-ninja.kunobi.Unstable

Existing installs on the stable channel are unaffected. You can also log in and download the unstable build directly, or update from within an existing unstable install.
