Changelog

added

• OAuth2 auto-fire — when an OAuth2 block is configured, the authorization flow now triggers automatically on request execution without requiring a manual step
• Cancel generation — a cancel button now appears beside the Generate Voiden Files button while a Postman import is in progress, letting you stop mid-run without waiting for it to complete

improved

• File tree reflects instantly — files created by AI agents, code generators, or any external process now appear in the file explorer immediately instead of after a multi-second delay; fixed by busting the server-side tree cache on every file system event and reducing chokidar write-finish thresholds from 300 ms to 50 ms
• Generate Voiden Files button now appears on large OpenAPI and Postman files — the button predicate correctly evaluates after streaming completes by storing a per-tab content snapshot, and survives tab switches without re-evaluating from scratch
• Generate Voiden Files progress survives tab switches — import state is persisted per tab so switching away and back no longer resets the progress display or the in-flight generation

fixed

• Postman and OpenAPI import buttons were not shown on large files loaded via streaming because tab.content was always empty until fully loaded
• Saving a streamable file wrote an empty string or a 512 KB truncated snapshot to disk, resulting in an empty file on reopen
• Large file save froze the app by serialising the entire file content in a single IPC message; now split into sequential 512 KB chunks
• Generate Voiden Files showed a 'Postman collection is empty' error on large JSON files because tab.content was not populated for streamable tabs; now falls back to reading from disk

added

• Stitch — workflow runner for batch-executing multiple .void files sequentially via the /stitch slash command, with glob include/exclude patterns, stop-on-failure, variable isolation, configurable delay between files, environment selection, and Excel export for run results
• Multi-request in a single file — multiple requests can coexist in one .void file using visual separators with color-coded borders; Cmd+Enter runs the focused section, Cmd+Shift+Enter runs all sections sequentially, with headers, body, and auth fully scoped per section
• Unified streaming UI — WebSocket and gRPC now share a common layout with a collapsible header showing protocol label, connection status and message stats, a compact message input toolbar at the bottom, and Cmd+Enter to send
• Cross-panel search — Cmd+F now searches across both the editor and response panel simultaneously, with highlights synced inside embedded CodeMirror editors
• Bottom panel layout for response viewer — move the response panel below the editor via the panel toggle; the right panel spans the full editor height while the bottom panel shares space with the terminal
• Open with Voiden — open .void, .json, .yaml, and other supported file types directly in Voiden via the OS "Open with" dialog
• Inline rename on duplicate — duplicating a file now immediately opens an inline rename input so you can name it in one step without needing to right-click and rename separately
• Developer settings — a new Developer section in settings with a toggle to show system logs, giving a real-time view of internal process timings for diagnosing slow operations
• Table cell autocomplete — header and query parameter table cells now show autocomplete suggestions for common header names and content types
• Request options block — new /options slash command for configuring per-request settings such as timeout and follow redirects

improved

• Large JSON response handling — huge JSON responses are now loaded in chunks instead of all at once to prevent UI freezes; syntax highlighting for large responses is opt-in and must be triggered manually to keep scrolling fast
• Code block max-height setting — a new setting lets you control how tall code blocks can grow before they scroll, so large responses don't push other content off screen
• File explorer lazy loading to handle large projects without performance degradation
• File link and search now load results progressively at a threshold to avoid overwhelming and hanging Voiden on large codebases
• Git panel reliability — the git panel no longer incorrectly refreshes on project change or window close events and now consistently reflects the correct repository state

fixed

• Editor highlight on file open — syntax highlighting for environment and runtime variables now applies correctly when a file is first opened, without requiring an edit or cursor movement
• Stitch runner not showing on unsaved or temporary tabs — Stitch is now accessible from any tab, not just saved .void files
• Files could not be attached and sent in FormData or Binary request bodies
• Renaming a file or block now triggers the update references dialog to keep all linked files in sync
• Downloads now use the filename from the server's Content-Disposition header instead of a random UUID
• Comments inside JSON blocks now parse correctly without causing errors
• Git clone now shows a progress indicator during the clone operation

added

• Inline rename on duplicate — duplicating a file now immediately opens an inline rename input so you can name it in one step, without needing to right-click and rename separately
• Developer settings — a new Developer section in settings with a toggle to show System Logs, giving you a real-time view of internal process timings to diagnose slow operations and share logs with the Voiden team for inspection

• Stop-on-failure — optionally halt the run on the first file or assertion failure
• Variable isolation — each file can run with a clean variable scope or share state across the run
• Configurable delay between files — add a pause between sequential executions
• Environment selector — choose which environment to use for the stitch run

added

• Request separators — multiple requests can now coexist in a single .void file, separated by visual dividers with color-coded left borders
• Color-coded sections — each request section gets a unique color indicator, carried through to the response panel for easy visual mapping
• Section-scoped execution — Cmd+Enter sends only the request your cursor is in; sections are fully isolated (headers, body, auth scoped per section)
• Run All — Cmd+Shift+Enter executes all sections in a file sequentially
• Stacked response panel — responses from multiple sections stack with section color indicators and auto-expand
• cURL paste — pasting a cURL/websocat/grpcurl command into a file with existing content now appends as a new section instead of replacing
• GraphQL multi-request — GraphQL requests now support the same multi-request separator infrastructure, including section-scoped response handling
• Unified streaming UI — WebSocket and gRPC message viewers now share common components (StreamMessageRow, StreamEventRow, StreamHeader) for consistent rendering
• Collapsible stream header — single header bar with protocol label, message stats, connection status, and all actions (Pause/Disconnect/Export)
• Compact stream input — message input is now a single toolbar row at the bottom with format selector, code editor, and Send button
• Cmd+Enter to send — pressing Cmd+Enter in the streaming input area sends the message
• Multi-request for sockets — WebSocket and gRPC slash commands are no longer singleton; multiple socket requests per file with separator support
• Cross-panel search — Cmd+F search now works across both the Voiden editor and the response panel simultaneously
• CodeMirror highlight sync — search matches are highlighted inside embedded CodeMirror editors (response body, headers, code blocks)
• Imported block detection — imported/linked blocks are detected by position, enabling proper section scoping for linked content
• External file sync indicator — new SourceSyncIndicator component shows when imported blocks are out of sync with their source file
• Import dependency store — centralized tracking of import dependencies across .void files
• Drag menu improvements — enhanced block drag menu with import/link capabilities

• Auto-generated block names — request blocks automatically generate descriptive names based on method and URL
• Response panel auto-expand — response panel automatically expands when a new response arrives

improved

• Document-native streaming layout — removed fixed-height container and footer bar; streaming responses now flow naturally with collapsible headers
• Theme-aware stream content blocks — message content uses --ui-surface with theme border for proper contrast across all themes
• Settings screen redesign — cleaned up layout with improved section organization
• Separator styling — theme-aware separator colors with light theme support via --separator-color

fixed
