Changelog

All notable changes to the Weaviate Studio extension.

[1.8.0] - 2026-07-01

✨ Added

• Empty Shard Ratio check — flags collections (single- and multi-tenant) where ≥10% of shards/tenants are empty (Warning) or ≥50% (Critical). Replicas are collapsed by shard name so a lagging replica is not mistaken for an empty shard. (PR #78)
• Async Replication Disabled check — lists replicated collections (replication factor > 1) that do not have async replication enabled; without it, replica drift is never automatically reconciled. (PR #78)
• Replication ratio metrics — the Replication Imbalance section now shows a per-collection and per-shard replication completeness percentage (e.g. 94% replicated), computed per shard to avoid per-node-total masking. Imbalanced collections also show their async replication status. (PR #78)
• Race-condition fix for large clusters — on large clusters the verbose node fetch could complete after the collections fetch, causing health checks to run against empty node data. Node fetch now triggers a serialized check recompute so results always reflect complete shard data. (PR #78)

🐛 Fixed

• weaviate.cancelBackup command not found — the command was declared in package.json and wired into the in-progress backup context menu but never registered via vscode.commands.registerCommand. Right-clicking an in-progress backup and choosing Cancel Backup now works correctly. (PR #79)
