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 Woodpecker CI?

Woodpecker CI hardens agent security and forge handling through its 3.14 release candidates

Woodpecker is iterating through 3.14.0 release candidates focused on security and agent/forge robustness: sanitizing agent-introduced state changes and log streaming, blocking registration as arbitrary agents, restricting log access, and cleaning up the Forge interface. Dependency security bumps (axios, otel, follow-redirects) and a lodash removal run throughout.

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.

Woodpecker CI hardens agent security and forge handling through its 3.14 release candidates

◆ Current state

Woodpecker is iterating through 3.14.0 release candidates focused on security and agent/forge robustness: sanitizing agent-introduced state changes and log streaming, blocking registration as arbitrary agents, restricting log access, and cleaning up the Forge interface. Dependency security bumps (axios, otel, follow-redirects) and a lodash removal run throughout.

◆ Where it's heading

The 3.14 line reads as a security-and-internals hardening cycle, tightening the agent trust boundary and forge integration rather than pushing features. The earlier 3.11 line shows the more typical mix of per-repo config features and fixes.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.14.0 to converge to a stable release after the RC series, continuing the agent-security and forge-handling focus.
