Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.
Speakeasy ships near-daily platform releases with unusually legible notes — each headline states what changed for a user, not a version number. The current one turns the Shadow MCP page into a single review surface where every server carries an approval state and an automatically gathered evidence dossier: publisher, requested scopes, declared capabilities, maintenance signals, and whether internal teams already talk to it. Decisions enforce on record. Around it, the assistant surfaces have been consolidating: one detail panel for configuration and observation, exact session totals, and canonical identities folding a person's work and personal AI accounts together.
SurveyJS ships a silent stable line while v3 rebuilds its rendering on theme adapters.
SurveyJS publishes two streams into the same feed. The v1.12.x stable line releases roughly weekly with notes that say nothing beyond the version number and a CI skip marker, so the changelog carries no information about what shipped. The v3.0.0 beta line is where the visible work is, and it is a rendering and theming rewrite: theme adapters, a shadcn adapter, tokens for dropdown menus, a refactored boolean switch with a toggle-switch variant, and repeated theme refreshes, alongside SSR hydration and responsiveness fixes.

The arc runs observe, then intercept, now adjudicate. Earlier releases catalogued spend and inventoried shadow MCP servers; the LiteLLM integration moved enforcement to the proxy so a violating prompt dies before inference; this release supplies the judgment layer, doing the research an approver would otherwise do by hand. The supporting work points the same way — prompt-injection scanning of captured skill manifests, risk policies that pause instead of being deleted, identity resolution that reports a whole person rather than an account. Each is a piece a control plane needs before its verdicts can be trusted.
Expect approval state to start gating traffic rather than only recording a decision, and the evidence dossier to extend from MCP servers to the skills and assistants already being captured. The rollout flag on the approval workflow suggests general availability is the next step rather than new capability.

The v3 betas point at a component layer that can be retargeted at a host application's design system rather than shipping one look. Theme adapters plus a shadcn adapter plus CSS variable patching describe a survey renderer that adopts the surrounding app's tokens, which is a different integration story from theming a fixed widget. The betas also carry regular Merge v2 commits, so the stable line is being folded forward continuously rather than forked away from. What cannot be read from this feed is the stable line itself, whose release notes are build stamps.
The adapter work is the unfinished thread — expect further beta releases adding adapters for other component libraries before v3.0.0 leaves beta.
