Nov 1, 2025

November 2025 delivered a secure, maintainable nais/cli with stronger access controls and a more consistent UX. Key gateway management capabilities were introduced, including gateway list/describe/connect and the new grant-access flow, with naisdevice agent integration to ensure secure JITA access. The CLI's status output was standardized via the naistrix renderer, and authentication flows were modernized to deprecate legacy login/logout while improving team flag validation across commands. A comprehensive core refactor and hardening reduced surface area (composite global flags, encapsulated login/logout types, removal of empty command fields) and included module cleanup (go mod tidy). Overall, improved security posture, reliability, and developer productivity, translating to faster onboarding, simpler maintenance, and clearer governance of gateway access.
