FrontAgent v1.0.1

FrontAgent v1.0.1

FrontAgent v1.0.1 aligns the npm CLI package, VS Code extension, and GitHub Release messaging around the new two-mode workflow: use fa from the terminal, or use the FrontAgent sidebar directly inside VS Code.

Highlights

• Added the first FrontAgent VS Code desktop extension.
• Added an Activity Bar task console for running FrontAgent tasks from VS Code.
• Added current-file, selected-text, and browser URL context entry points.
• Added VS Code approval cards for sensitive tool actions.
• Added phase/step progress, final result rendering, and run log access.
• Added SDD initialization and validation commands in VS Code.
• Added shared @frontagent/runtime-node APIs reused by the CLI and VS Code extension.
• Added cooperative cancellation support via AbortSignal.

Usage

Use FrontAgent from the terminal:

npm install -g frontagent@1.0.1
fa init
fa run "Create a user login page"

Use FrontAgent from VS Code:

1. Install the Marketplace extension ceilf6.frontagent.
2. Open a workspace folder.
3. Run FrontAgent: Configure and set your API key.
4. Open the FrontAgent Activity Bar view and run a task from the sidebar.

Release Artifacts

• npm package: frontagent@1.0.1
• VS Code extension: ceilf6.frontagent@1.0.1
• VSIX artifact: frontagent-1.0.1.vsix

Notes

• VS Code support is desktop-only in this release because FrontAgent depends on Node.js, local file-system access, shell execution, browser automation, and MCP packages.
• Only one active VS Code run is allowed per workspace in this first extension version.
• Cancel is cooperative and stops at phase/step boundaries.

v0.1.9

Fixed

• Removed hard-coded CLI version reporting.
• fa -v, fa --version, fa version, and fa info now read the root frontagent package version.
• Added regression coverage so nested workspace package versions do not override the published package version.

Changed

• Synced GitHub main and v0.1.9 with the npm frontagent@0.1.9 release.
• Includes the latest security architecture updates from develop.

v0.1.8

Added

• Added fa -v as a short alias for CLI version output.
• Added fa version as an explicit version command.

This release is published on npm as frontagent@0.1.8.

v0.1.7

Added

• Added progressive exploration so file-system changes are planned as observe-first workflows before writes.
• Added built-in FrontAgent identity context for query answers.

Changed

• Shortened the published CLI command from frontagent to fa.
• Simplified default fa run output to status, tool-call summary, and final answer, with verbose internals behind --debug.

Fixed

• Fixed the ESM bundle bootstrap for packages that expect __filename.
• Normalized OpenAI-compatible base URLs that already include /chat/completions.
• Made query tasks report a clear failure when no final answer is generated.

v0.1.6

Added

• Added Weaviate-backed semantic vector storage for RAG while keeping BM25 local.
• Added RAG cache bundle export/import workflow for distributing prebuilt knowledge-base indexes.
• Added a retrieval-only LLM query rewrite step that rewrites user input into frontend-oriented search queries before RAG.

Changed

• Clarified all RAG-facing terminology so remote RAG evidence is referred to as "knowledge base" instead of the current workspace repository.
• Updated English and Chinese documentation with Weaviate, query rewrite, and cache bundle usage examples.

Fixed

• Prevented the planner from treating remote RAG hits as local workspace files during query tasks.
• Improved semantic index resilience for Weaviate-backed retrieval and related RAG execution flow.
