Highlights: `oar` opens a menu and gains stop, restart, status, url and

|
11
|
+
service commands, and setup asks for access and port; files open in a
|
|
12
|
+
fullscreen viewer with galleries to swipe through, and a PDF opens in the
|
|
13
|
+
browser; messages can be pinned; a downloaded file is the file as it is now,
|
|
14
|
+
and no cache may keep an API answer; the built-in Cloudflare tunnel uses the
|
|
15
|
+
`cloudflared` you installed instead of a bundled copy; the three provider
|
|
16

SDKs are current.

### Upgrade notes
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
- **The built-in Cloudflare tunnel needs `cloudflared` installed on the relay
|
|
21
|
+
host.** An install that ran the tunnel (`cloudflaredTunnel` in the config)
|
|
22
|
+
on the copy that came with OAR loses the tunnel after this update until
|
|
23
|
+
`cloudflared` is installed: `winget install --id Cloudflare.cloudflared`
|
|
24
|
+
on Windows, `brew install cloudflared` on macOS, Cloudflare's package
|
|
25
|
+
repository on Linux (<https://pkg.cloudflare.com/>). The relay itself
|
|
26
|
+
starts and works locally in the meantime. Installs with
|
|
27
|
+
`cloudflaredTunnel.binary` set, with `cloudflared` on the `PATH`, or
|
|
28
|
+
with a tunnel that runs outside OAR are not affected.
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
### Added
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
- **The file viewer fills the screen.** A file opened from the file browser
|
|
33
|
+
or from a chat takes the whole screen: pictures, video and audio on black,
|
|
34
|
+
text in a column that reads well on a wide screen. The title, the toolbar
|
|
35
|
+
and the meta line float over the content; a tap on the content hides them
|
|
36
|
+
and brings them back, and while a video or an audio file plays they fade
|
|
37
|
+
by themselves after three seconds, as players do. Audio files play in the
|
|
38
|
+
viewer. A PDF, which the viewer cannot show, is a card with **Open in new
|
|
39
|
+
tab** (the browser's own viewer) next to **Download**.
|
|
40
|
+
- **Swipe through a folder, or through a chat's media.** A file opened from
|
|
41
|
+
the browser's folder pane carries its neighbours along: a sideways swipe
|
|
42
|
+
shows the next or the previous file, as do the arrow keys and the two
|
|
43
|
+
buttons below with the position between them. A picture or an attachment
|
|
44
|
+
tapped in a chat opens with every image, video and audio file of the
|
|
45
|
+
conversation to swipe through, oldest to newest. Neighbours are fetched
|
|
46
|
+
ahead, so a swipe lands on the file and not on "Fetching…".
|
|
47
|
+
- **The back gesture closes the viewer, and a swipe down dismisses it.** On
|
|
48
|
+
a phone the system back gesture closed the app; it now closes the viewer
|
|
49
|
+
and nothing else, and the address never changes. A swipe down on a picture,
|
|
50
|
+
a player or a card lets the content follow the finger and then go.
|
|
51
|
+
- **The back button never closes the installed app.** In the app installed
|
|
52
|
+
from the browser (Android, iOS, desktop), pressing back with nothing left
|
|
53
|
+
to go back to used to close it. From the first touch on, the app keeps
|
|
54
|
+
one entry beneath its own and steps back onto it: back closes the file
|
|
55
|
+
viewer and nothing more, and a back with nothing left to close shows
|
|
56
|
+
*Press back again to close the app* — a second press without a touch in
|
|
57
|
+
between closes it, as phone apps do. (Before any touch the browser lets
|
|
58
|
+
back leave on purpose; a page cannot change that.) In a browser tab the
|
|
59
|
+
back button is the browser's as before.
|
|
60
|
+
- **`oar` opens a menu.** In a terminal, `oar` shows whether the relay runs,
|
|
61
|
+
its version, URL, port, access and service, and offers Start, Stop, Restart,
|
|
62
|
+
Show URL and QR code, Settings, Install or remove the service, Update,
|
|
63
|
+
Doctor and Copilot session (arrow keys or digits, Enter, `q`). Without a
|
|
64
|
+
terminal it prints the status and the usage.
|
|
65
|
+
- **`oar stop`, `oar restart`, `oar status`, `oar url`, `oar service`.** Stop
|
|
66
|
+
and restart wait for running turns (the systemd service is stopped and
|
|
67
|
+
restarted by systemd). `oar status` exits 0 when the relay runs and 3 when
|
|
68
|
+
it does not. `oar url` prints the relay URL again. `oar service install`,
|
|
69
|
+
`remove` and `status` manage the start at login: the systemd user service
|
|
70
|
+
on Linux, the sign-in autostart on Windows; on macOS, and on a Linux
|
|
71
|
+
without a systemd user session, the command says so and names `oar start`.
|
|
72
|
+
- **`oar setup` asks for access and port, with options for each.** In a
|
|
73
|
+
terminal, setup asks for a new token, the access (this machine only, or
|
|
74
|
+
LAN) and the port, each with its current value; Enter keeps it. `--port`,
|
|
75
|
+
`--lan`, `--local` and `--new-token` answer without a question, and
|
|
76
|
+
`--defaults` keeps everything of an existing config.
|
|
77
|
+
- **WSL: a port has to be free on Windows too.** In WSL's default networking
|
|
78
|
+
a port can be free in the distro while a Windows program listens on it, and
|
|
79
|
+
a Windows browser's `localhost` then reaches that program. A new config now
|
|
80
|
+
takes the first port that is free on both sides, setup refuses a port
|
|
81
|
+
Windows holds, and `oar start`, `oar status`, `oar doctor` and `oar setup`
|
|
82
|
+
warn when Windows holds the relay's port. Where Windows cannot be asked,
|
|
83
|
+
nothing changes.
|
|
84
|
+
- **Pin messages in a conversation.** Every message has a **Pin** button
|
|
85
|
+
beside **Hide**. A conversation with pins shows a **📍** button with their
|
|
86
|
+
count in its header; it opens the list of pinned messages, each with a short
|
|
87
|
+
preview. A row scrolls to its message, also one far up in the history, and
|
|
88
|
+
**🗑** unpins it. Pins are stored on the relay, appear on every open device
|
|
89
|
+
at once, and are not part of the shared view. At most 100 per conversation.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
### Changed
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
- **The Copilot terminal session is `oar copilot`.** `oar` alone no longer
|
|
94
|
+
starts the relay and `gh copilot`. `oar copilot [-- <args>]` does; the old
|
|
95
|
+
forms with an option and no command (`oar -- <args>`,
|
|
96
|
+
`oar --install-extension`, `oar --no-install-extension`,
|
|
97
|
+
`oar --migrate-from <dir>`) still run it.
|
|
98
|
+
- **Setup no longer asks about the tunnel or the service.** The service is
|
|
99
|
+
`oar service install`; the tunnel is set in the config
|
|
100
|
+
([Remote access](README.md#remote-access)). `oar setup --start` still
|
|
101
|
+
installs the service where a systemd user session exists.
|
|
102
|
+
- **A QR code only for an address a phone can reach.** With LAN access the
|
|
103
|
+
URL and the QR code carry the LAN address. With access for this machine
|
|
104
|
+
only, setup prints the localhost URL and one line on how to get phone
|
|
105
|
+
access, and no QR code. In WSL a LAN address is internal to WSL: setup says
|
|
106
|
+
so and names the two ways out, a tunnel or WSL's mirrored networking.
|
|
107
|
+
- The npm package guard allows 6.5 MiB unpacked (was 6 MiB); the command line
|
|
108
|
+
grew by the menu and the new commands, and the app by the pinned messages
|
|
109
|
+
and the file viewer.
|
|
110
|
+
- **A tunnel without `cloudflared` says so.** When the built-in Cloudflare
|
|
111
|
+
tunnel is switched on and no `cloudflared` is found, the relay starts as
|
|
112
|
+
usual, the tunnel stays off, and the status dot's tooltip, `oar doctor` and
|
|
113
|
+
the server log name the install command for the system. The relay looks
|
|
114
|
+
again every minute and starts the tunnel once `cloudflared` is there. With
|
|
115
|
+
`cloudflaredTunnel.required` the queue stays paused until the tunnel is
|
|
116
|
+
connected, as before.
|
|
117
|
+
- **`--allow-scripts` lists two packages.** A manual install on npm 12 is now
|
|
118
|
+
`npm install -g --allow-scripts=better-sqlite3,koffi @oar-sh/oar`;
|
|
119
|
+
`oar update` and the **Update** button pass the same list.
|
|
120
|
+
- `@github/copilot-sdk` 1.0.17 (bundled Copilot CLI 1.0.93): typed structured
|
|
121
|
+
outputs for `sendAndWait`, structured JSON-RPC error data, an experimental
|
|
122
|
+
`setTools()` to replace a session's client tools mid-session, sub-agent
|
|
123
|
+
start/stop hooks, and the new session events `tool.shell_output` and
|
|
124
|
+
`human_response.recorded`. The extension entry renames `factories` to
|
|
125
|
+
`workflows`; OAR passes neither. The package now pins its own dependencies
|
|
126
|
+
exactly, so it carries its own `zod` 4.3.6.
|
|
127
|
+
- `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk` 0.3.292 (bundled Claude Code 2.1.292).
|
|
128
|
+
Of the nine releases since 0.3.283 these touch the relay's worker: a
|
|
129
|
+
cut-short or interrupted streaming reply now always ends with its
|
|
130
|
+
`message_stop` (0.3.287, 0.3.290), so the turn-liveness watchdog sees the
|
|
131
|
+
end of the model's output; a follow-up turn woken by a finished background
|
|
132
|
+
agent no longer fails its hooks, `canUseTool` and SDK MCP calls with
|
|
133
|
+
"Stream closed" (0.3.284); `commands_changed` no longer arrives before
|
|
134
|
+
`init` (0.3.287); a user message replayed under the same `uuid` while the
|
|
135
|
+
first copy still waits is no longer replayed twice (0.3.290); subagent
|
|
136
|
+
`assistant`/`user` messages carry `agent_id`, task events carry
|
|
137
|
+
`parent_task_id` and `run_id`, and `background_tasks_changed` for a
|
|
138
|
+
finishing task now arrives after its `task_updated` and `task_notification`
|
|
139
|
+
(0.3.292). An omitted `permissionMode` is now left to Claude Code (0.3.286);
|
|
140
|
+
the worker always passes one.
|
|
141
|
+
- `@cursor/sdk` 1.0.36 (additive API changes only): an opt-in
|
|
142
|
+
`subagentInherit` for `Task` child sessions, `sessionId` in the custom-tool
|
|
143
|
+
context, and the SDK's *default* agent-store path now derives from SHA-256
|
|
144
|
+
with a one-time rename of the old MD5-named store. OAR passes its own
|
|
145
|
+
`stateRoot`, so its stores under `data/cursor-agents` keep their layout.
|
|
146
|
+
The package dropped its `@connectrpc/connect-node` dependency.
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
### Removed
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
- **The bundled `cloudflared`.** OAR no longer installs the `cloudflared`
|
|
151
|
+
npm package, which downloaded the binary during the install. The tunnel
|
|
152
|
+
runs the `cloudflared` named in `cloudflaredTunnel.binary` (or
|
|
153
|
+
`COPILOT_CLOUDFLARED_BINARY`), or else the one on the `PATH`.
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
### Fixed
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
- **A jump into the history stays where it landed.** After opening a search
|
|
158
|
+
result in an older part of a conversation, the page put the end of the
|
|
159
|
+
conversation back as soon as it refreshed itself: within a second while a
|
|
160
|
+
turn was running, and whenever a turn ended or the connection came back.
|
|
161
|
+
The window you jumped to now stays until you scroll down to the newest
|
|
162
|
+
message. The same holds for a jump to a pinned message.
|
|
163
|
+
- **On a phone, the Pin button of a message can be tapped.** A tap on a bubble
|
|
164
|
+
reveals its Pin and Hide buttons, but the reveal hung on the hover state the
|
|
165
|
+
tap leaves behind, which the browser drops at the next scroll or layout
|
|
166
|
+
change (seen on Linux), and the share-visibility line then took the tap
|
|
167
|
+
instead of the button. The tap now holds the reveal until a tap lands
|
|
168
|
+
outside the bubble.
|
|
169
|
+
- **A PDF opens in the browser's viewer again.** Served files carry a
|
|
170
|
+
`Content-Security-Policy` with `sandbox` so a worker-written file can never
|
|
171
|
+
run as script on the relay's origin; browsers refuse to show a sandboxed
|
|
172
|
+
PDF in their built-in viewer, so "open in a new tab" turned into a
|
|
173
|
+
download. A PDF alone is now served without the `sandbox` directive (PDF
|
|
174
|
+
viewers run no document script) and may be framed by the relay's own
|
|
175
|
+
origin; HTML, SVG and every other type keep the full lock-down.
|
|
176
|
+
- **Audio files were an opaque download.** No audio type was known, so an
|
|
177
|
+
`.mp3` or `.wav` went out as `application/octet-stream` with a download
|
|
178
|
+
disposition. Audio types are served as such, previewed as audio, and
|
|
179
|
+
`.bmp` and `.avif` are served as images.
|
|
180
|
+
- **An SVG can be previewed.** It was served as plain text so that a
|
|
181
|
+
worker-written SVG could never run as a page on the relay's origin, and
|
|
182
|
+
an `<img>` refuses plain text: the viewer and the file browser's
|
|
183
|
+
thumbnails showed a broken picture. An SVG now keeps its type; the
|
|
184
|
+
`sandbox` in every served file's `Content-Security-Policy` still denies
|
|
185
|
+
it script and an origin if it is opened as a page.
|
|
186
|
+
- **Uploaded video can seek.** A video attachment in a chat was streamed
|
|
187
|
+
without range support, so the player could not jump; it now goes through
|
|
188
|
+
the same range-aware file serving as a workspace file, and so does a
|
|
189
|
+
shared conversation's attachment. Their long-lived caching stays.
|
|
190
|
+
- **A file with a Japanese, Chinese or emoji name can be served again.** Its
|
|
191
|
+
name went into `Content-Disposition` as is, which the HTTP layer refuses
|
|
192
|
+
for characters outside Latin-1, so such a workspace file, upload or shared
|
|
193
|
+
attachment failed with a server error and left a file handle open each
|
|
194
|
+
time. The header now carries an ASCII fallback and the full name in the
|
|
195
|
+
`filename*` form, so the file opens and is saved under its own name.
|
|
196
|
+
- **A changed file is downloaded as it is now.** The **Download** button of
|
|
197
|
+
the file viewer handed back an older copy of a file that had been written
|
|
198
|
+
again under the same name. Three things were wrong:
|
|
199
|
+
- A click on Download did not download: since 0.9.0 every link click was
|
|
200
|
+
turned into "open in a new tab", so the link's own file name was dropped
|
|
201
|
+
and a phone showed or saved the file under its plain name, next to (or
|
|
202
|
+
instead of) the copy it already had. Download links are left to the
|
|
203
|
+
browser again.
|
|
204
|
+
- A file fetched within two seconds of a change arrived cut to its
|
|
205
|
+
previous length, because the announced length came from an older read
|
|
206
|
+
than the bytes. Length, validators and bytes now come from one open file.
|
|
207
|
+
- The address and the saved name never changed. The link now carries the
|
|
208
|
+
file's version (`v=…`), and the file is saved with the time it was last
|
|
209
|
+
changed, `report.pdf` as `report (1005-0719).pdf`.
|
|
210
|
+
- **No cache between the relay and you may keep an answer.** Every API
|
|
211
|
+
answer, errors included, now says `Cache-Control: no-store` unless the route
|
|
212
|
+

stands, `--setup`, `--start`, `--stop` and `--status` name it too, and an

missing.** A lock file alone no longer counts as a running relay: the relay

233

has to answer on the port. Without the GitHub CLI the command says so and

starts nothing, instead of *spawn gh ENOENT*.

On Linux that writes and enables a systemd user service and enables lingering, so the relay is back after a reboot and keeps running while you are logged out; the unit carries the `PATH` of the shell that ran the command, plus `~/.local/bin`, so the relay's sessions find the tools you have (run it again after your `PATH` changed). On Windows it switches on the same autostart as **⚙️ Settings → General → Autostart (Windows)** → *At sign-in*; *At system startup*, which runs the relay headless before anyone signs in, is set in the web UI because it needs one admin confirmation. `oar service remove` takes it out again.

Options answer without a question: `--port <port>`, `--lan` or `--local`, `--new-token`; `--defaults` keeps everything of an existing config and gives a new one access for this machine only and the first free port from 3333 on. A port must be free, unless the install's own running relay holds it. When the token, the port or the access changed while the relay runs, setup restarts it (in a terminal it asks first) and waits until it answers with the new settings. `--start` (global installs, used by the installer) also installs the service where a systemd user session exists and starts the relay. `--migrate-from <dir>` copies the relay state of a pre-rename git checkout at `<dir>` into the OAR state root, once; the source is never changed, and a relay still running from it blocks the copy |

- The auth token guards the API and the Socket.IO channel. A browser signs in once, with the token or with a URL carrying `?token=` (such as the one `oar setup` and `oar url` print), and then holds an HttpOnly cookie for 30 days, marked `Secure` when the relay is reached over HTTPS. Treat the token, and that URL, like a password.
|
|
913
|
+
- Keep the config file private (the relay keeps it owner-only) and rotate `authToken` if it is exposed: `oar setup --new-token` writes a new one and restarts the relay, which signs every device out.
|
|
896
914
|
- `localhostOnly` (default `true`) keeps the relay on loopback. Beyond your LAN, use HTTPS through one of the [tunnels](#remote-access) rather than an open port.
|
|
897
915
|
- Agents act with the permissions of the user the relay runs as. OAR adds reach, not a sandbox: whoever holds the token can have them run commands on the host. `workspaceRootAllowList` limits the directories conversations may start in.
|
|
898
916
|
- Shared conversation links and preview links are public by design: anyone with the URL can read the shared transcript or reach the previewed app, without signing in.
|
|
917
|
+
- Files the relay serves (workspace and drive files, attachments) are never run as pages on its origin: HTML and XML go out as plain text, every file carries `nosniff` and a `Content-Security-Policy` with `sandbox`. An SVG keeps its type so it can be previewed, and the sandbox denies it script and an origin should it be opened as a page. A PDF is the one exception, served without `sandbox` (browsers refuse to show a sandboxed PDF in their built-in viewer, and PDF viewers run no document script) and framable only by the relay's own origin.
|
|
899
918
|
- A [paired relay](#remote-relays) holds a token that opens the other relay completely. The per-relay "Agents may" limit and the "Accept prompts from other relays' agents" switch are honoured by OAR's own traffic, but anyone holding the token can still use the full API: the token is the real boundary. A token entered for a paired relay is stored like the API keys below and never sent to browsers or agents.
|
|
900
919
|
- API keys you enter (OpenAI, Cursor) are stored in the relay database on the host and never sent to browsers. Claude and Grok credentials stay with their CLIs on the host.
|
|
901
920
|
- Claude Cloud, when you switch it on, reads the Claude CLI's login and uses it against Anthropic API endpoints that are not a documented public API. The token is only read and held in memory, and goes to `api.anthropic.com` only (see [Claude Cloud](#claude-cloud)). A cloud agent works in Anthropic's sandbox, not on your host.
