M-vis v0.5.0-rc1 Adds GitHub Actions Integration for Heap Monitoring in CI/CD
M-vis, an open-source memory monitoring tool, has released version 0.5.0-rc1 with a new CI/CD mode that allows developers to embed heap monitoring and leak detection directly into GitHub Actions workflows. The update ships a reusable GitHub Action that automatically downloads the correct binary for Linux, Windows, or macOS runners and can attach to a process by PID, fuzzy name match, or by spawning it directly. Users can configure thresholds such as maximum RSS memory and leak-check flags, with the step failing automatically if either condition is triggered. The release also improves the terminal UI with keyboard-driven process selection and enhances Linux heap analysis via /proc/maps with optimized diff algorithms for large heaps. A known issue exists on macOS runners where the action may hang during smoke tests due to process inspection entitlements still being hardened for CI environments.
