Kindly IDE v9.0.0

A major release with performance fixes, new panels, and comprehensive robot editing tools.

| Linux (Debian) | kindly-ide_9.0.0_amd64.deb |

Highlights

Performance

• Fixed critical re-render bug — memoized physics worker controls, replaced bare Zustand store subscriptions with individual selectors across 4 components (viewport, chat, editor, file explorer)


• Added idempotency guard to physics worker stopSimulation()


• Guarded redundant null writes in viewport effects

New Panels

• Structure Tree — interactive kinematic chain viewer with physics validation badges, search/filter, and detail panel (Cmd+7)


• Joint Editor — full joint property editing (type, axis, limits, dynamics) with URDF <dynamics> round-trip


• Joint Testing & Diagnostics — position/velocity control, limit proximity bars, stress test mode, torque estimation

Robot Editing

• Custom Mesh Upload — assign STL/GLTF/OBJ/DAE files to links via drag-and-drop or file browser, with scale controls


• Physical Properties Editor — inertia tensor, friction, restitution, damping per link with material presets (Steel, Aluminum, ABS, Carbon Fiber, Rubber, Wood)


• Mirror Subtree — mirror link chains across X/Y/Z axis with intelligent name swapping (left↔right)


• Collision Geometry Editor — edit collision shapes independently from visual geometry


• Live 3D Part Preview — real-time R3F preview in Add Part dialog with orbit controls

Bug Fixes

• Physics createColliderFromLink() now correctly uses collision geometry instead of visual geometry


• Viewport navigation buttons no longer trigger unwanted panel switches


• Command palette (Cmd+Shift+P) with 26 commands and fuzzy search


• Progressive toolbar — 4 buttons with no robot, 17 when robot loaded

Test Coverage

• 100+ new tests across all features


• All existing tests passing

What's New

🦿 Quadruped Robot Support

• Build 4-legged robots from natural language ("Build me a robot like Spot")


• Proper branching structure: body + 4 legs with hip/knee joints


• 16 DOF, 28 links, 27 joints for complete quadruped morphology

🎯 Enhanced Joint Visualization

| Joint Type | Visual | Color Coding |
|------------|--------|--------------|
| Revolute | Torus (ring) + axis arrow | RGB = XYZ |
| Prismatic | Double-headed arrow | RGB = XYZ |
| Fixed | Small cube | Gray |
| Continuous | Full torus ring | RGB = XYZ |

• Axis color coding: Red (X), Green (Y), Blue (Z) - standard RGB=XYZ convention

• Axis arrows: Show rotation direction at each joint

📄 URDF Export Improvements

• Actual geometry dimensions exported (box, cylinder, sphere)


• No more hardcoded 0.1x0.1x0.1 boxes

Files Changed

• component-library.ts: Quadruped body/leg templates


• archetypes.ts: Branching structure support via attachPosition
