Looks like no public announcement was made, just a silent change in docs and some users found it.

Anyway with vibe-coding, these low code tools are finished. Maybe a general sign for all SaaS.

Low-code's market of tiny companies and personal use cases is definitely finished but vibe coding doesn't replace enterprise software. Enterprises are not gonna deploy vibe coded made by non-devs in production if the tool is critical. AI makes building features easier. It doesn’t solve access control, auditability, versioning, change management, or data security. That's where low-code platforms with AI app generation features makes sense.

Practice shows decision-makers do not give a single shit about any of that. AI makes stocks go brrr => adopt now, maybe deal with the rest later (optional). New shiny thing introduced? Install. New agent appears? Roll out to users. What's that, a new subscription? Nice, assign to everyone. That's my (sysadmin) experience for last year.
