NocoBase is wiring its AI employees and its JS blocks to call each other

◆Current state
NocoBase is a self-hosted low-code platform, currently building 2.2.0 in the open across alpha and beta pre-releases. The visible work splits between a client v2 rewrite — tabs, subpages and pop-ups gaining linkage rules, configurable route entry modes — and an AI employees layer that is being connected to the platform's JS blocks in both directions.
◆Where it's heading
The AI employees feature started as an assistant sitting beside the app. These releases dissolve that boundary: JS blocks can trigger AI employee tasks through a RunJS API, and AI employees now have frontend tools that operate JS blocks. Custom application logic and the agent layer become mutually callable, which is a different product than a chat panel bolted onto a builder. Around it, the approval workflow is being ported to client v2 with card-style selection and inline usage instructions.
◆Prediction
With the call path open in both directions, the unresolved question these entries raise is governance — what an AI employee is permitted to execute and under whose authority — so expect permission scoping around AI employee tasks before 2.2.0 stabilizes.

    v2.2.0-alpha.11

    A version-publishing chore with no described changes. Routine churn on the 2.2.0 alpha line.

    AI employees get frontend tools that operate JS blocks

    ⚡ SPARK

    The other half of the integration beta.15 opened: having let JS blocks trigger AI employee tasks, NocoBase now gives AI employees tools to drive JS blocks themselves. Shipped alongside client v2 approval-workflow ports and narrower language-response payloads, but the agent plumbing is the consequential part.

    RunJS API lets JS blocks trigger AI employee tasks

    Adds the first direction of the AI-employee integration — custom JS blocks can now kick off AI employee tasks — alongside linkage rules for tabs on pages, subpages and pop-ups, and a configurable route entry mode. On its own it reads as an API addition; in hindsight it is the opening move of the arc the later alpha completes.
