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.
WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.
WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

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.
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.
WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two.

The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.
The agent work is the strategic line. Registration gives an agent an identity of its own instead of a borrowed human session; the token proxy means an application acting for a user never holds the credential. Together they describe a stack where an agent can be authorized, audited and revoked as a first-class principal. The human-auth releases are conversion and migration work — the deliverability check and SCIM Bridge both remove reasons a customer stalls — which is what a developer-infrastructure company does while its next category is still forming.
Registration and the token proxy leave scoping and revocation as the visible gaps, so expect per-agent permissions or consent surfaces next. Whether auth.md gains adoption beyond WorkOS is not something these entries can answer.
