Crucible 0.2.0 Preview

Local workspaces

• Create, rename, export, and delete Local workspaces on this Mac.
• Collections, folders, requests, environments, secret references, and run history.
• No account and no system Git required for Local work.

Git workspaces

• Create new Git workspaces, open existing Crucible layouts, or clone a remote.
• Root repository layout and embedded .crucible/workspace/ layouts.
• Deterministic, human-readable JSON workspace files.
• Requires system Git 2.39+; uses your credential helpers or SSH agent.
• Works offline for local Git operations.

Git workflow

• Status and unified diff for staged and unstaged changes.
• Stage, unstage, commit, and browse local history.
• Branches, remotes, fetch, fast-forward-only pull, push, ahead/behind.
• Publish Local as Git — copies into a new Git workspace; Local source unchanged.
• Safety: Save never commits. Commit never pushes. Pull is fast-forward-only. No force push. No automatic merge, rebase, or stash.

Import and portability

• Import into Crucible wizard for Insomnia (v3/v4/v5), Postman (v2.0/v2.1), OpenAPI 3.x / Swagger 2.0, Bruno directories, cURL, and Crucible portable .crucible.native.workspace archives.
• Conversion reports for unsupported features; imported scripts/hooks/plugins are not executed.
• Destinations: Local or Git. Secret values become references; Git keeps refs only in files.

Desktop experience

• Native macOS menus and accelerators.
• Command palette, Workspace Home, Quick Request, scratch requests.
• Environments, assertions, response inspection, status badges.
• Git Changes, History, remotes/sync, branch picker, redesigned Workspace Settings.
• Provider chooser: Local and Git Available; Cloud Planned.

CLI and CI

• crucible validate, Git workspace create/open/publish/clone, and Git status / stage / commit / branch / remote / fetch / pull / push.
• Machine-readable --json and documented exit codes for CI.
• No Cloud account required for Local or Git automation.

Documentation

• Public docs for Local, Git (install, layouts, Save vs Commit vs Push), imports, CLI/CI, and privacy.
• Marketing site refresh for equal Local / Git / Cloud (Planned) positioning.

Reliability and security

• Signed, notarized, stapled macOS Apple Silicon Preview with embedded runtime.
• Diagnostics redaction; secret values kept out of Git files and import reports.
• Website first-party analytics via CauseWise on dfcrucible.dev (not in the desktop app).
