What is Currents?

Currents now lets agents walk a Playwright trace instead of downloading it.

Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. In six weeks it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments, and now a trace API built for agents. The trace API lets an agent read a Playwright trace one part at a time, choosing each next call from what it just read.

What is Infisical?

Infisical's alert channels gain webhook auth as audit-log streams learn to warn when they drop.

Infisical releases several times a week, pairing feature work with a v3 UI migration that now reaches native integration creation pages and Certificate Manager. v0.166.8 adds authentication and custom headers to webhook alert channels, an alert when an audit-log stream starts dropping logs, and Secrets Overview telemetry. The prior release added Kafka dynamic secrets and moved PAM onto the shared alerting module.

Currents now lets agents walk a Playwright trace instead of downloading it.

◆ Current state

Currents is a Playwright test dashboard rebuilding itself around agent access. In six weeks it shipped agent-readable failure links, scoped personal access tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments, and now a trace API built for agents. The trace API lets an agent read a Playwright trace one part at a time, choosing each next call from what it just read.

◆ Where it's heading

The sequence goes deeper each time: from a failure summary an agent can fetch, to a secure way in, to the logs around a run, to the trace itself. Currents is positioning as the place a coding agent goes to debug a CI failure, with humans as a second audience.

◆ Prediction

The likely next step is wiring the trace API and attachments into the MCP server so one agent session can reach all of it. The entries don't yet confirm that the trace API is exposed through MCP.

Infisical's alert channels gain webhook auth as audit-log streams learn to warn when they drop.

◆ Current state

Infisical releases several times a week, pairing feature work with a v3 UI migration that now reaches native integration creation pages and Certificate Manager. v0.166.8 adds authentication and custom headers to webhook alert channels, an alert when an audit-log stream starts dropping logs, and Secrets Overview telemetry. The prior release added Kafka dynamic secrets and moved PAM onto the shared alerting module.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks keep advancing together: shared platform services, with alerting now the busiest, and a lineup split into separately packaged products with per-product billing. Alerting has gone from reminders to PAM to audit-log health in a week, which makes it a cross-product backbone. The v3 UI migration is in its final stretches across integrations.

◆ Prediction

Expect more products and events wired into the shared alerting module and the v3 UI migration to finish across the remaining screens. Whether Agent Vault reaches a GA announcement is not visible in the entries.
