16.3.0: Let your AI agent run Cypress without a human stepping in
ReleasedReleased on November 10, 2026
When an AI agent runs cypress open, Cypress now launches the browser without waiting for someone to dismiss the welcome screen, and prints configuration errors to the terminal, where the agent can read them. cypress run starts specs sooner, and the binary is a smaller download. Every handler you register for a Node event such as before:run or after:spec now runs in order, not just the last one, so check any handler you added to replace a plugin's.
