SpiderSuite macOS Release Notes

Release date: 2026-04-01

Installer:

  • SpiderSuite-macos-spiderweb-0.5.7-spiderapp-0.2.0.pkg

Included products:

  • Spiderweb 0.5.7
  • SpiderApp 0.2.0

Highlights

  • Spiderweb now leads onboarding with Start Local Workspace, using a resumable macOS quickstart that installs local prerequisites, bootstraps a workspace, mounts a deterministic drive under ~/Spiderweb/<workspace-name>, and reveals it in Finder when native mounting succeeds.
  • SpiderApp now opens into a workspace-centered newcomer shell with first-class Workspace, Devices, Capabilities, Explore, and Settings routes, while the older operator-style setup flow is kept behind Advanced.
  • Just Try It now uses a smaller dedicated workspace template so first-run setup lands in a lighter local environment instead of a broader development preset.
  • Spiderweb can now hand successful onboarding off into SpiderApp directly, and the parent Spider repo now builds a signed suite installer that ships both products together.

Known issue

  • Apple’s FSKit mount state can still wedge on some Macs. When that happens, Just Try It may not attach the Spiderweb drive until after a reboot. This release makes onboarding degrade more gracefully when the OS mount path is stuck, but it cannot fully repair the Apple-side FSKit wedge in-process.

What to validate after install

  • Run Just Try It from Spiderweb and confirm the local workspace reaches a usable ready state.
  • Open SpiderApp from the Spiderweb success state and confirm the workspace shell shows Workspace, Devices, Capabilities, and Explore.
  • If native mounting times out, reboot the Mac and retry before treating it as a product regression.
