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.

What is SuperTokens?

SuperTokens patches seven auth advisories and makes SAML IdP-initiated login opt-in by allow-list.

SuperTokens is a self-hostable auth backend that spent the v12 cycle hardening its security surface and extending multi-tenancy. The v12.3.0 canary in September added an append-only activity log for user lifecycle events. v12.0.11 is a security release: SAML replay protection and single-assertion binding, an ACS URL allow-list now required for IdP-initiated logins, tenant-scoped WebAuthn sign-in, a session/unlink race fix and dashboard session expiry checks, with additive schema migrations.

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.

2.5

SuperTokens patches seven auth advisories and makes SAML IdP-initiated login opt-in by allow-list.

◆ Current state

SuperTokens is a self-hostable auth backend that spent the v12 cycle hardening its security surface and extending multi-tenancy. The v12.3.0 canary in September added an append-only activity log for user lifecycle events. v12.0.11 is a security release: SAML replay protection and single-assertion binding, an ACS URL allow-list now required for IdP-initiated logins, tenant-scoped WebAuthn sign-in, a session/unlink race fix and dashboard session expiry checks, with additive schema migrations.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel: a stable 12.0 line that keeps closing authentication edge cases, much of it in SAML, and a 12.3 canary that adds stateful features such as the activity log. The new ACS allow-list requirement shows the project is willing to refuse insecure configurations by default rather than leave them to documentation.

◆ Prediction

Expect further 12.0.x security patches and, separately, the 12.3 activity log moving toward a stable release; the entries don't show when it will get a read API.
