What is Knock?
Knock adds single-step test runs and retries for failed workflow runs.
Knock is a notification infrastructure platform that spent September and October wiring itself into AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor) and Stripe Projects. Its latest two releases turn to the workflow debugger: a failed run can now be retried from where it stopped, and a single channel step can be tested in sandbox without running the whole workflow.
What is Redocly?
Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.
Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

Knock
5.0INFRA · APIS
Knock adds single-step test runs and retries for failed workflow runs.
◆ Current state
Knock is a notification infrastructure platform that spent September and October wiring itself into AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor) and Stripe Projects. Its latest two releases turn to the workflow debugger: a failed run can now be retried from where it stopped, and a single channel step can be tested in sandbox without running the whole workflow.
◆ Where it's heading
With distribution through AI tools in place, Knock is now improving the day-to-day build-and-debug loop for workflows, following the September analytics tab. The pattern points to more operational tooling around runs, not new channels.
◆ Prediction
Expect further debugger and test-runner features, such as bulk retries or replays with edited data, given two debugging releases in three days.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.
◆ Prediction
Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.
