What is Currents?

Currents starts recording any agent task, not just Playwright test runs.

Currents built a Playwright test dashboard and has spent the autumn opening it to agents: shareable failure links, scoped tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments, a trace API and listings in the Claude and ChatGPT/Codex plugin directories. On November 12 it added Sessions, where an agent saves the browser recording or files from any task and gets one link with a page for people and a Markdown version for other agents.

What is Wazuh?

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

Currents vs Wazuh: editorial side-by-side

7.5

Currents starts recording any agent task, not just Playwright test runs.

◆ Current state

Currents built a Playwright test dashboard and has spent the autumn opening it to agents: shareable failure links, scoped tokens, a hosted MCP server with OAuth, run attachments, a trace API and listings in the Claude and ChatGPT/Codex plugin directories. On November 12 it added Sessions, where an agent saves the browser recording or files from any task and gets one link with a page for people and a Markdown version for other agents.

◆ Where it's heading

Until now every release made test results easier for agents to read. Sessions turns the direction around: agents write their own work into Currents, and the product's scope widens from CI test runs to a record of what agents did. The pattern of pairing a human page with a Markdown twin, first used for failure links in September, is now the product's standard output.

◆ Prediction

Expect Sessions to be wired into the existing pull request comment and MCP server next, since earlier releases connected each new artifact to both within weeks.

5.0

Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.

◆ Current state

Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

◆ Where it's heading

5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.

◆ Prediction

More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
