Month: 2025-09 | KittyCAD/kittycad.ts Overview: Delivered a focused API naming refactor and performed essential dependency maintenance to ensure API stability, forward compatibility, and clearer differentiation between full models and individual parts generated from text. This work enhances developer experience and reduces integration risk for downstream consumers. Key features delivered: - Text-to-CAD API Naming Refactor: renamed endpoints and tests from 'model' to 'part' to distinguish between a complete model and parts generated from text; updates included tests, OpenAPI definitions, and export index (commits 014a982663b43f723f0fbe4174b35833438c1e4f). - Dependency Maintenance and Compatibility Updates: updated dependencies to latest versions, including kittycad.ts to 3.1.0 due to a minor API break; routine maintenance to ensure compatibility (commits 2e3cdfcdb5d00309c82d27d49957723e1593f260 and e064b1e42d966e8d0cfc9640b7d65db9bf1e9bd7). Major bugs fixed: - Addressed a minor API break introduced by dependency changes by upgrading kittycad.ts to 3.1.0 and aligning tests and exports to the new surface (referencing commits 2e3cdfcdb5d00309c82d27d49957723e1593f260 and e064b1e42d966e8d0cfc9640b7d65db9bf1e9bd7). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Clarified API surface by distinguishing model vs part concepts, improving developer onboarding and reducing integration ambiguity. - Strengthened stability and security posture through up-to-date dependencies and explicit API surface changes, lowering risk for downstream consumers. - Maintained a robust test suite and export wiring to support ongoing development and future refactors. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - API design and refactor (naming, test alignment, OpenAPI spec updates) - TypeScript/OpenAPI-based API work, test maintenance, and export/index management - Dependency management and semantic versioning - Change coordination across tests, API definitions, and library exports
