Kenn Forge

Project timeline →

  • Agent workspaces can now run on shared devboxes, and Forge supports spokes the hub cannot reach.
  • Forge now signs the browser in when you switch machines. The UI and MCP clients can also connect through Tailscale Serve without a token.
  • Workspace search now finds pull requests and issues across repositories, with ! and NOT for excluding terms.
  • Repeat workspace visits, list filtering, and Activity stay fast on slow connections and large lists. Cached repositories also open without waiting for provider discovery.
  • Pull request stacks are easier to navigate, pull request state appears on spoke and ad-hoc workspaces, and queued reruns show as pending.

docbank

Project timeline →

  • Import received packages and publish stamped PDFs containing only the selected pages.
  • Search files in the web app with natural-language controls, then revisit dated exports from the recent export history.
  • Redacted PDF productions now rebuild from the exact reviewed sources, freeze reviewed inputs, and require approval before export.
  • Email exports now bundle retained message PDFs with their attachment occurrences, and the web inspector safely opens archived email.
  • Docbank now processes EPUB files locally and accepts recoverable PDFs that previously failed format detection.

roborev

Project timeline →

  • Search review history by meaning, not just exact words.
  • Upgrades restore older review history and convert Markdown reviews to JSON in batches, which cuts startup memory use.
  • The TUI now starts with reviews from the current repository and branch, while list output shows pass or fail verdicts.
  • Exports now include each review's closed state, update time, and JSON document. The web review table also shows whether a review is closed.
  • Grok reviews can recover from a default sandbox startup failure, and Claude weekly quota errors trigger cooldown instead of repeated retries.

  • Go programs can use pkg/client without extra setup.
