What is Knock?
Knock is hardening for enterprise buyers while its agent takes over the analysis work.
Knock ships weekly, in small, legible increments across three lanes: account governance (custom roles, passkeys), workflow primitives (wait-for-event, branch rebasing), and data ingress (Amplitude, Clay). The newest entry adds granular custom roles, which closes the last obvious gap in account-level access control. Alongside that, the in-product agent gained analytics, letting teams interrogate delivery performance without building reports.
What is Terragrunt?
Terragrunt graduated six experiments at once and has spent three candidates stabilising them
Terragrunt is running the v1.1.0 release-candidate cycle, now at rc3. The first candidate completed six experiments simultaneously — stack-dependencies, a content-addressable store, a catalog redesign, mark-many-as-read, opt-out-auth and DAG queue display. The two candidates since have added only bug fixes for those features plus improvements to how releases are published and verified.

Knock

Knock is hardening for enterprise buyers while its agent takes over the analysis work.
◆ Current state
Knock ships weekly, in small, legible increments across three lanes: account governance (custom roles, passkeys), workflow primitives (wait-for-event, branch rebasing), and data ingress (Amplitude, Clay). The newest entry adds granular custom roles, which closes the last obvious gap in account-level access control. Alongside that, the in-product agent gained analytics, letting teams interrogate delivery performance without building reports.
◆ Where it's heading
Two arcs run in parallel. The infrastructure lane is buying enterprise credibility — roles, passkeys, audit-grade permissions — the checklist items that decide procurement rather than daily use. The data lane keeps widening what can trigger a workflow: product analytics from Amplitude, enriched rows from Clay, internal Slack channels as a destination. Together they push Knock from a notification API toward the messaging control plane, with the agent as the layer that explains what the plane did.
◆ Prediction
Expect the roles work to continue into audit logs or scoped API keys, since granular permissions without an activity trail is an incomplete enterprise story. More data sources are likely on the same cadence, with the CRM and warehouse categories the obvious remaining gaps.

Terragrunt graduated six experiments at once and has spent three candidates stabilising them
◆ Current state
Terragrunt is running the v1.1.0 release-candidate cycle, now at rc3. The first candidate completed six experiments simultaneously — stack-dependencies, a content-addressable store, a catalog redesign, mark-many-as-read, opt-out-auth and DAG queue display. The two candidates since have added only bug fixes for those features plus improvements to how releases are published and verified.
◆ Where it's heading
The experiment-graduation model is doing what it is supposed to: features developed behind flags land together in one minor, and the candidate cycle is purely stabilisation. The release-publishing and verification work appearing in rc2 suggests supply-chain provenance is being treated as release-blocking rather than as a follow-up.
◆ Prediction
With three candidates carrying identical feature lists, v1.1.0 final is the likely next release, followed by a fresh batch of experiments opening for v1.2.
