Loupe 0.1.7

The dashboard, Check for Updates in the menu and on the cluster picker, and listings that update by themselves again.

Released 26 September 2026 — on GitHub

Dashboard. Loupe now opens on a bird's-eye view of the cluster: nodes ready and cordoned, pods by phase with crash loops called out, workloads healthy by kind, and the Problems list as a widget. CPU and memory show live usage when metrics-server is installed and fall back to requests — saying so — when it is not; pod slots show how close the cluster is to max-pods. Busiest nodes, the containers restarting most, namespaces by pod count and volume-claim status round it out. Every number opens what is behind it (⌘-click for a new tab). The counts ride on the Problems monitor's snapshot, so the dashboard is live and costs the cluster no extra listing; a source RBAC refuses says so on its widget instead of showing zero. See Dashboard.
Loupe › Check for Updates… in the macOS menu, and a "Check for updates" link on the cluster picker on every platform. A check you ask for always answers: a new version, "Loupe is up to date", or why it could not tell. Updates found on launch now show on the picker too — before, they only appeared in the status bar, which does not exist until a cluster connects, so anyone who could not connect could not find the release that fixed it.

brew install and brew upgrade failed under Homebrew 7 with "Calling depends_on macos: :catalina is disabled". The cask now declares depends_on :macos and drops the deprecated verified:.
Listings update by themselves again. Pods, Nodes, Namespaces and Helm had never been wired to a watch, so a crashing pod sat at Running until you pressed refresh. And on a busy cluster the listings that did watch could still freeze: each change cancelled the refetch already in flight, so when changes came faster than a LIST returned, nothing ever landed. A refetch now waits for the one in flight. Helm watches only its own release Secrets.
The namespace crumb goes to the listing, scoped. On Deployments › olympify › olympify-api, "olympify" now opens Deployments filtered to olympify rather than the Namespace's own page.
