Action Summary

Kida is a versatile template engine that compiles to Python AST and supports rendering to multiple formats, including HTML, terminal output, and Markdown. It streamlines tasks like creating custom CI reports from tool outputs (e.g., pytest, coverage) by automating the generation of step summaries and PR comments in GitHub Actions. Key capabilities include template inheritance, pattern matching, safe data handling, streaming, and integration with modern frameworks.

What’s Changed

v0.3.3

Released 2026-04-07.

Kida 0.3.3 adds JSON/YAML syntax highlighting for terminal output, enables CI report posting as PR comments, and fixes a cache miss tracking bug.

Highlights

  • syntax() terminal filter — Regex-based JSON and YAML highlighting in terminal mode.
  • PR comment CI reports — GitHub Action now posts reports as pull request comments.
  • CachedBlocksDict fix — Cache miss tracking corrected with expanded test coverage.

Added

Terminal

  • syntax() filter — Regex-based syntax highlighting for JSON and YAML content in terminal rendering mode. Applies color tokens to keys, strings, numbers, and structural characters.

GitHub Action

  • PR comment posting — post-to: pr-comment posts rendered reports directly to pull requests in addition to step summaries.
  • Comment deduplication — comment-header identifies comments by report type so re-runs update the existing comment instead of creating duplicates.
  • Append mode — comment-mode: append combines multiple reports (e.g., pytest + coverage) into a single PR comment separated by horizontal rules.
  • Extra context — context input accepts a JSON string of additional template variables merged into the data context at render time.

Fixed

  • CachedBlocksDict miss tracking — Block lookups that miss the cache are now properly recorded. Added comprehensive test coverage for cached blocks, purity checks, and t-strings.
