0.1.0-rp

This release focuses on getting users from “install” to “run and inspect” with a first working set of CLI commands, clearer onboarding guidance, and an expanding set of MCP-based tracing/visualization capabilities. It adds experiment scaffolding and validation, a matrix-driven experiment runner with dry-run and live watching, and commands to list prior runs and reveal where outputs were written. On the data side, it wires up trace-store access through SQL and MCP paths, and makes scatter-based visualizations consume real trace data. It also expands the platform experience (experiment pages, experiment onboarding, and run viewing affordances), plus updates install/docs to call out key prerequisites (Docker/model-provider API key) and make common onboarding pitfalls clearer.

Docs

• Simplified AXP onboarding pages (Overview/Installation/Getting Started) and smoothed onboarding install/run prerequisites.
• Updated onboarding to explicitly mention Docker is needed before running axp run. See Installation.
• Updated onboarding to explicitly mention the model-provider API key requirement before axp run. See Environment and Auth.
• Clarified .zshrc behavior during the AXP onboarding script, including a workaround when shell sessions don’t inherit changes.
• Addressed a confusing “no job control” warning shown during non-interactive installs.
• Documented the end-to-end experiment flow: define → run → inspect. See Getting Started, Experiment YAML, and Runs.
• Documented beta-period MCP app integration steps for non-developer users.

CLI

• Added an update-available nudge/banner to the AXP CLI during subcommand usage.
• Added experiment creation and validation commands (axp create / axp validate) so users can scaffold a runnable experiment.yaml and quickly lint/edit it. See AXP CLI.
• Added axp run matrix support, including --dry-run, parallelism via -j, and experiment variant handling via --variant. See Runs.
• Added support for repeating experiment runs for statistical analysis via a --trials/repeat-style workflow on axp run.
• Added axp run --watch to tail live events while a run is executing.
• Added axp list to enumerate recent runs.
• Added axp results to print output paths for a run.
• Added axp run --dry-run handling improvements so scratch directory management is RAII-managed (avoiding the previous manual forget pattern).
• Added an “Export to Claude” action on run details that copies a templated prompt to the clipboard for interactive exploration.

Platform / App

• Shipped an experimental experiments page in the platform app.
• Added a basic “get started” home page that shows how to install and begin using AXP.
• Added an experimental “experiment page” experience in the platform app.
• Added an end-to-end onboarding path for MCP-related integration during the beta period (as documented above).
• Added an end-to-end “login + upload + runs dashboard” scaffold to drive the runs experience end-to-end.
• Shipped an “update” to platform marketing pages, including a legacy link/button.

MCP / Tracing / Analytics

• Added MCP infrastructure with a remote endpoint and authentication.
• Added an MCP tool path that connects to ClickHouse so scatter visuals can consume real trace data.
• Added a read-only SQL-style query interface over the trace store through the MCP tool path.
• Ported scatter plot widgets into the MCP app (including the cost-score scatter plot).
• Added auth injection support for experiment-declared secrets.

Experiment / Example Content

• Added axp run experiment workflows to support iteration-focused variants and repeated runs to validate bias vs stochastic variance (example-focused experiment variants and higher-scale/locked-constraint variants).
• Added a description field to experiment definitions.

Developer Experience / Infra

• Set up Linear release tracking and release notes generation.
• Added a webhook-style connection from Linear to GitHub when a new release is cut.
• Created the AXP CLI distribution release workflow.
• Added an MVP way to upload run results to hosted object storage.
• Updated CI toolchain versions (Rust/tooling in CI).
• Added local ClickHouse support for AXP local development.
• Started foundational core app scaffolding and rust dev infra (tests/lint/CI floor).
• Added an experiment run “experimental” flag.
