FlowDrop 1.9.0: Integrated Pipeline View

FlowDrop 1.9.0 is a playground-focused release. The central addition is a live pipeline canvas embedded alongside the chat — no separate screen, no navigation required to see what a workflow is doing while it runs.

Integrated pipeline panel

A toggleable panel opens beside the chat and displays the live pipeline execution canvas. Toggle it via a new control in the session header. The panel is resizable — drag the separator between it and the chat to find your preferred split.

The pipeline panel header includes a run picker so you can switch to a specific historical execution and inspect it in-place, plus a “pin to latest” toggle that snaps back to the live run as new executions arrive.

Session chip dropdown

The previous session sidebar in the standalone playground has been replaced with a compact chip in the session header. Clicking it opens a dropdown for switching sessions. The sidebar was occupying fixed space even when not in use; the chip reclaims that width for the canvas.

Layout and design changes

Pipeline and Logs toggle controls moved from the navbar and chat panel into the session header, so all session-level controls are co-located. The Edit workflow link moved to the navbar for consistent top-level navigation.

The pipeline panel sits in the middle column; the chat panel is on the right. Log entries display as compact terminal-style rows for denser output. Chat bubbles received updated typography and spacing.

Design tokens: hardcoded colour and sizing values across the playground have been replaced with --fd-* tokens. The pipeline panel and embedded canvas background use --fd-muted.

Upgrading

npm install @flowdrop/flowdrop@1.9.0

No breaking changes to the public API. The session sidebar in the standalone playground is replaced by the chip — existing routing and session loading are unaffected.
