+## [0.0.10] - 2026-04-07
+
+### Fixed
+
+- npm install now uses a longer timeout, retries release-binary downloads, and reports real download errors instead of incorrectly saying no matching prebuilt binary exists
+- npm install now shows progress logs during native binary download and verification so first-time installs on macOS/Linux are less confusing
+- fullscreen `/login` provider-family status now correctly shows OpenAI OAuth state after ChatGPT login instead of incorrectly showing the API key path as not authenticated
+
+### Changed
+
+- README install docs now lead with `npm install -g @shuyhere/bb-agent`, move terminal/font guidance into Troubleshooting, and clearly separate npm install from building from source for development

 A Rust-native AI coding agent for the terminal — featuring a fullscreen TUI, multi-provider support, tool use, session persistence, branching, extensions, and skills.
 
 ## Install
 
-### Terminal & Font Compatibility
-
-BB-Agent uses Unicode glyphs and ANSI color in the fullscreen TUI. For the best visual experience, use a modern terminal and a Unicode-capable monospace font such as:
-
-- JetBrains Mono
-- SF Mono / Menlo
-- Fira Code
-- Cascadia Mono
-- Nerd Font variants of the above
-
-If some symbols look broken, missing, or too narrow in your terminal:
+```bash
+npm install -g @shuyhere/bb-agent
+```
 
-1. switch to a Unicode-capable monospace font
-2. make sure your terminal uses UTF-8
-3. enable BB-Agent compatibility mode
+### 1. Install with npm
 
-Compatibility mode uses safer ASCII-style fallback glyphs for spinner/status/tool markers:
+npm install downloads a small wrapper package first, then fetches the matching native BB-Agent binary from the GitHub release for your platform.
 
-```bash
-BB_TUI_COMPAT=1 bb
-```
+What to expect:
+- first install can take a bit because npm downloads and verifies the native binary
+- the installer now prints progress and retry information while downloading
+- after install, run `bb`
 
-Or set this in `~/.bb-agent/settings.json`:
+Current GitHub release binaries are published for:
+- Linux x86_64
+- macOS x86_64
+- macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon)
+- Windows x86_64
 
-```json
-{
-  "compatibility_mode": true
-}
-```
+If no matching prebuilt binary is available, or the download fails, npm install will print source-build instructions instead.
 
+### 2. Build from source for development
 
-### From source (all platforms — macOS, Linux, Windows)
+Use this if you want to develop BB-Agent itself, work on the Rust codebase, or install directly without the npm downloader.
 
 Requires [Rust](https://rustup.rs). Install Rust first if you don't have it:
