🌟 What's New in v1.3.0
👥 1. Multi-Persona Authentication with Dynamic Payload Fields
Custom Payload Parameters: Support for non-standard or mandatory login fields beyond standard email/password (e.g. force_logout: true, tenant_id, client_secret, role).

⚡ 2. Native Auto-Token Capture & Instant Swagger Authorization
Zero-Click Authorization: Sending or replaying a login endpoint (e.g. /auth/login, /api/v1/token) immediately inspects successful 2xx responses, extracts the access/bearer token, and authorizes Swagger UI without requiring manual copy-pasting.
Visual Confirmation: Displays real-time toast feedback (⚡ Authorized in Swagger UI via post /auth/login).
Normalized Endpoint Rules: Variable extraction rules now seamlessly match both trailing and non-trailing slash endpoints (/auth/login and /auth/login/).
🧪 3. Complete API Testing & Automation Suite
API Scenario Recorder (Phase 2): Floating recorder toolbar on docs pages to record live endpoint interactions into replayable end-to-end test scenarios.
Visual Workflow Editor & Runner (Phase 3):
Drag-and-drop step reordering and dependency chaining.
Step timing inspection and variable propagation between consecutive requests.
Rich Assertions Engine (Phase 1):
Evaluate status codes, response times, headers, regex patterns, and nested JSONPath expressions ($.data.user.id).
Automated Pagination Tester & Exporter (Phase 4):
Supports Cursor, Page/Limit, and Offset/Limit pagination schemas.
Automated page traversal, response integrity checks, and direct export to JSON and CSV.
🧭 4. OpenAPI Spec Change Detector & Impact Analysis (Phase 5)
Automatic Spec Diffing: Detects changes between previously cached specs and newly loaded API docs.
Breaking Change Highlights: Visual indicators for removed endpoints, altered path/query parameters, and schema breaking updates.
Impact Warning Modal: Notifies developers when actively used endpoints or variables may be affected.
⌨ 5. Updated Keyboard Shortcuts
Ctrl+F / ⌘F: Command Palette endpoint search directly inside Swagger UI.
Ctrl+K / ⌘K: Keyboard Shortcuts Manager cheat-sheet and custom keybinding editor.
