K8s Games v1.1.0

K8s Draw — 3D Architecture Diagramming (/draw)

A brand new tool at k8sgames.com/draw — like Excalidraw but for Kubernetes in 3D.

• Drag-drop 21 K8s resource types onto a 3D canvas
• Draw connection lines between resources
• Double-click to rename any resource
• Auto-layout organizes by tier (Nodes → Workloads → Networking → Storage → RBAC)
• Export as YAML (correct apiVersions) or PNG screenshot
• Share diagrams via URL — one-click copy
• Properties panel: edit name, namespace, labels, replicas

Investigation-Gated Resolution

Incidents now require actual investigation before resolving — teaching real SRE workflow.

• Resolve button locked until 2+ investigation commands are run
• 35 incident types now have investigation steps (was 6 hardcoded)
• Click investigation step → copies command to command bar
• Progress counter shows "2/3 investigated"
• Investigation progress persists across page reloads
