Bug Fix

• Removed protected context feature which caused the app to become unresponsive (unable to quit) when switching to a protected context. The call was blocking the main thread and interfering with the QuickSwitch panel lifecycle.

KubeSwitch 1.5.0

QuickSwitch Enhancements

• Fuzzy search — Smarter search that matches characters across the name, not just prefix. Matched characters are highlighted in yellow
• Section grouping — Suggestions are now organized into Favorites, Recent, and All sections with clear headers
• Last namespace subtitle — Context rows show the last-used namespace for quick reference
• Cluster version display — See Kubernetes version info for your clusters
• Context colors — Assign color indicators to contexts for visual identification
• Context aliases — Set custom display names for long or complex context names
• Protected contexts — Mark critical contexts to get a confirmation dialog before switching
• Instant favorite toggle — Starring a namespace now updates immediately (was requiring panel reopen)

New Features

• Siri Shortcuts & App Intents — Switch contexts/namespaces, get current context, or open QuickSwitch via macOS Shortcuts
• First-run onboarding — New users get a guided setup that detects kubectl, kubeconfig, and explains key features
• Context settings tab — Dedicated settings for aliases, colors, and protected contexts
• Switch history tracking — Tracks recently used items for the Recent section

Accessibility

• Full VoiceOver support with descriptive labels and hints
• Respects Reduce Motion and Increase Contrast system preferences
• Keyboard-navigable with accessibility traits on all interactive elements

Stability & Performance

• Fixed zombie processes — kubectl processes are now properly terminated on timeout
• Thread safety — Fixed race conditions in FavoritesManager, KubeDataService publishers, and UserDefaults property wrapper
• Memory leak fixes — Resolved retain cycles in QuickSwitchPanel closures
• Cache debouncing — Rapid file changes no longer trigger duplicate refreshes
• FileWatcher cleanup — Watchers now properly stop on deallocation
• LazyVStack — Suggestion list is now virtualized for better scroll performance
• Equatable SuggestionRow — Prevents unnecessary SwiftUI re-renders

Testing

• Added 8 new test suites: FavoritesManager, FuzzySearch, AppConfiguration, KubeConfigManager, KubectlError, MockKubeDataService, MockKubectlService, QuickSwitchController
