v0.9.0

Added

• Cursor SDK support via sdk=cursor / --sdk cursor, backed by a bundled Node bridge around the Cursor TypeScript SDK.
• Cursor bridge package files are shipped without node_modules; dependencies install on first Cursor use.

Fixed

• Manual REPL model resolution for Cursor, OpenCode, and Copilot SDK selections.
• Cursor streaming buffers model deltas into coherent blocks and avoids stray .. output / bridge hangs.
• Restored the sync temporary-file helper used by the existing sync test surface.

Removed / Security

• Removed the experimental Chrome extension/native host workspace and related CLI subcommands.
• Dropped the [pricing] LiteLLM extra and included dependency security bumps listed in the changelog.

v0.8.0 - Agent-friendly CLI

Highlights

This release makes reverse-api-engineer invocable from other agents and scripts via a structured non-interactive surface, and retires two providers and the legacy tag system.

Added

• Agent-friendly CLI: --json, --no-interactive, --dry-run, --headless, --json-schema-version v2
• Stable JSON contract: normalized usage shapes and error_kind enum for machine-readable error handling
• engineer --prompt / --fresh: replace @id <run_id> [--fresh] <prompt> REPL syntax with first-class flags
• Expanded --help epilogs with examples on every subcommand

Changed

• Prompts extracted to markdown templates under src/reverse_api/prompts/ for easier review
• New painted-ruins JPG banner

Removed (Breaking)

• browser-use and stagehand agent providers: upstream churn made them unreliable. Use auto (Playwright MCP) or chrome-mcp (Chrome DevTools MCP). The [agent] extra is gone; configs auto-migrate to auto
• Tag system (@record-only, @codegen, @id, @docs, @help): replaced by CLI flags. @codegen and @docs removed entirely (the latter returns later as a docs subcommand)
• agent --reverse-engineer/--no-engineer: was parsed but never wired through. Use manual --no-engineer for HAR-only recordings

Fixed

• engineer --json emits JSON even when RUN_ID is missing
• Follow-up prompt suppressed in --json / --no-interactive mode

📜 Full changelog: https://github.com/kalil0321/reverse-api-engineer/blob/v0.8.0/CHANGELOG.md

v0.7.1

Trim sdist from 29MB to 503KB by excluding worktrees, plans, and demo GIFs.

v0.7.0

What's New

run command

Execute generated scripts directly from the CLI:

reverse-api-engineer run ashby                    # fuzzy match by name
reverse-api-engineer run a450e520ca30             # by run ID
reverse-api-engineer run ashby --ls               # list scripts
reverse-api-engineer run ashby --file api_client.py
reverse-api-engineer run ashby -- --org acme      # pass args to script

• Shared venv at ~/.reverse-api/runs/.venv with requests pre-installed
• Auto-install missing imports — offers to pip install and retry on ModuleNotFoundError
• Real-time output — stdout streams live, stderr captured for error detection

Security

• litellm >=1.83.0 (critical + high)
• requests >=2.33.0 (medium)
• aiohttp >=3.13.4 (4 medium + 6 low)
• pygments >=2.20.0 (low)
• cryptography >=46.0.6 (low)

Install / Upgrade

pip install -U reverse-api-engineer
# or
uv tool upgrade reverse-api-engineer

v0.6.0

See CHANGELOG.md.

PyPI: reverse-api-engineer 0.6.0

Highlights

• Chrome DevTools MCP (chrome-mcp) as an agent provider next to Playwright MCP (auto)
• Smaller sdist on PyPI (excludes local demo video, packed extension zip, store screenshots)
• Streaming fix: tool results fall back to result / output when content is empty

Install: uv tool install reverse-api-engineer==0.6.0 or pip install reverse-api-engineer==0.6.0

v0.5.0 - Follow-up chat, abort, AskUserQuestion free mode

What's New

Follow-up Chat

After a run completes, type follow-up messages to iterate in the same session — no new run IDs or folders. The agent retains full conversation context. Press Enter to finish and return to the REPL.

Abort Run (Ctrl+C)

Gracefully cancel a running agent/engineer session with Ctrl+C. Returns to the REPL instead of exiting the app.

AskUserQuestion Free Mode

All select/checkbox prompts now include "Other (type your answer)" so you can always provide free-text input. The agent prompt now documents free-form, multi-select, and multi-question capabilities.

Random Task Suggestions (Ctrl+R)

Press Ctrl+R in agent mode to fill the prompt with a random curated task idea. Press again to cycle through 20 examples.

Fixes

• Usage tracking: Token counts now accumulate across all follow-up turns instead of being overwritten
• Agent mode follow-up: Auto engineer now reuses the shared conversation loop

Install / Upgrade

uv tool install reverse-api-engineer --upgrade
# or
pip install reverse-api-engineer==0.5.0

Full Changelog: v0.4.5...v0.5.0

v0.4.5 - Fix stream closed errors

Fixed

• Stream closed errors (#51): Reverted from query() to ClaudeSDKClient which maintains a persistent bidirectional connection, eliminating "Error in hook callback hook_0: Stream closed" errors
• CLAUDECODE env var leak: Clear inherited CLAUDECODE env var from CLI subprocess to prevent nested session interference
• CLI stderr noise: Filter minified JS stack traces into a single clean error line (DEBUG=1 for full output)

Changed

• claude-agent-sdk: Bumped minimum version to 0.1.48
• Agent mode: No longer prompts for URL (agent navigates autonomously)
• Header UI: Version and task labels now use mode-specific colors

Upgrade

pip install --upgrade reverse-api-engineer
# or
uv tool install --upgrade reverse-api-engineer

Closes #51

v0.4.3

Fixed

• AskUserQuestion interactive prompt: Fixed interactive questionary UI not rendering in engineer and agent modes. Switched from ClaudeSDKClient to query() function, as ClaudeSDKClient silently auto-approves AskUserQuestion without triggering the can_use_tool callback

Install / Upgrade

pip install --upgrade reverse-api-engineer

v0.4.0 - List CLI subcommand

What's New

list CLI subcommand

Non-interactive command for discovering and querying generated scripts and runs.

# Rich table (compact)
reverse-api-engineer list

# Full table with all columns
reverse-api-engineer list --full

# JSON output for piping/scripting
reverse-api-engineer list --json

# Filter by mode, model, or prompt search
reverse-api-engineer list --mode auto --search "hn" --limit 5

Features:

• Rich table output (compact and full modes) and flat JSON array output
• Filter by mode (--mode), model (--model), prompt substring (--search), and result limit (--limit)
• Enriches each run with script directory path, file list, file count, and local copy detection

Full Changelog: v0.3.3...v0.4.0

v0.3.3 - GitHub Copilot SDK Support

What's New

Added

• GitHub Copilot SDK: Third SDK option for reverse engineering using GitHub Copilot
  • New CopilotEngineer for HAR analysis via Copilot subscription (cost: $0)
  • Auto mode support with MCP browser integration via Copilot SDK
  • Interactive AskUserQuestion tool support for Copilot sessions
  • Permission handler and tool use hooks for agent visibility
  • Install with: pip install 'reverse-api-engineer[copilot]'
• Comprehensive Test Suite: 593 tests achieving 97.4% code coverage

Changed

• Claude Model Updates: Updated from Claude 4.5 to Claude 4.6 (Opus and Sonnet)
• Sync Filtering: Unified sync filtering logic with relative paths; excludes node_modules
• TUI Improvements: Reduced thinking truncation for better agent visibility

Fixed

• Python 3.11 Compatibility: Fixed multi-line f-string expressions that required Python 3.12+
• Thread Safety: Used loop.call_soon_threadsafe for Copilot SDK event callbacks
• Session Timeouts: Added 10-minute timeout protection for Copilot session completion
• Resource Cleanup: Ensured CopilotClient is always stopped via try/finally
• HAR Recording: Changed HAR recording content mode to embed and optimized file saving
