⚠️ Redirect warnings

Yaak now shows a warning badge when a redirect drops headers or body (status-code specific).

The timeline includes full details about which redirect caused the change, making debugging way easier.

📝 JSON comments

Use Cmd+/ to comment out lines in JSON request bodies. Works across HTTP, WebSocket, gRPC, and GraphQL variables.

Yaak strips comments and fixes trailing commas before sending, so you can disable parts of a payload without deleting them.

🤖 Agent-friendly CLI

Have Claude/Codex/etc manage workspaces, send requests, and inspect responses on your behalf!

Simply prompt "use the `yaak` CLI to ..." and the CLI will figure out the rest (using ---help and JSON Schema).
