What’s New in 0.1

Explore the first Public Preview workflows and the limits to consider before adopting them.

After reading this guide, you will know:

• Which workflows the Public Preview covers.
• Which host decisions you need to make before granting access.
• Where the preview has limits.

Manage records in Rails

Register the resources and fields you intend to expose. Connect your host’s sessions, tenant scopes and grants. The same audited operation boundary handles native forms, member operations and changes confirmed through review Surfaces.

• Resources and Fields covers CRUD, validation and supported field types.
• Associations covers reference pickers, child panels and editable many-to-many references.
• CSV Export and Import and Record History cover data movement, record changes and the audit log.
• Dashboard and Collection Operations cover counts, trends and jobs over a fixed set of records.

Enable Chat and MCP separately

The native admin works with AI disabled. Enable Admin Chat for grant-filtered reads, streaming replies and proposals that a person can review in the admin. The chat keeps the composer below the scrollable conversation and displays record links and review cards alongside messages. Enable the MCP Server to let external clients use the same tools with personal access tokens. A proposal becomes a write only after a person confirms it.

Public Preview limits

• Ruby 3.3 or newer, Rails 8.0.5.2 or newer below 8.2, and SQLite or PostgreSQL. On Rails 8.1 use 8.1.4.1 or newer. Rails 8.0 requires json 2.x.
• Association sorting, polymorphic writes, nested child forms and dedicated attach/detach policies are open. Collection selections hold at most 100 explicitly selected records.
• Chat has a per-person daily message limit. Token and cost budgets and automatic conversation retention are open. Live provider evidence covers an earlier build through OpenRouter. Native provider APIs and live failure recovery still need verification.
• English ships with the engine. Hosts supply translations for their locales. A human screen-reader pass is still open.
• Review template and migration changes before updating a development host. Public Preview contracts may change across 0.x versions.
