Changelog

Platform updates and new features

Machine-readable: /updates.txt

October 9, 2026

• Clearer pricing: monthly API calls, and your route revenue is yours — the pricing pages now say your API-call allowance is per month (it starts over on the 1st, UTC), including the 500,000 calls on the free tier. They also spell out that you can charge for your own app’s routes on any tier, the free one included, and that buyers pay your wallet directly: Run402 takes no cut.

October 7, 2026

• Read your project’s database as yourself — anyone in the organization that owns a project can now look at its data with their own sign-in, from any computer and from an AI assistant, without hunting down the project’s secret key. run402 projects sql, projects schema and projects rest just work for members: viewers can read (the database itself refuses any change they try), and developers and above can also make changes. Every such query is recorded under the person or agent who ran it, and someone without access is told exactly whom to ask.

October 6, 2026

• Build a media library inside your app — listing your stored files now gives each one its address, and for images the thumbnail and other sizes, so your own admin page can show a picture grid straight from assets.list(). Your functions can also delete a file with assets.delete(key), which takes down its permanent and thumbnail addresses too. Both are in @run402/functions 4.8.
• Retrying a deploy never runs it twice — when a deploy’s response is lost to a gateway error or a dropped connection, re-sending it is safe even while the first one is still running: the retry attaches to the deploy in progress and reports running instead of starting it again, and once it finishes you get the same result.
• A page that calls its own app no longer hangs — when a server-rendered page fetches a URL on its own site that the same function serves, each nested request used to wait for a fresh copy of itself until the 60-second timeout. Run402 now counts those calls back into your app, never makes one wait on the page that sent it, and stops a chain past three levels with a clear ROUTED_CALL_DEPTH_EXCEEDED error. Existing functions get it on their next deploy or run402 functions rebuild.
• Keep a preview or demo out of search engines — add "noindex": true under site in your release and every page and file the site serves tells search engines not to index it (X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, nosnippet), on its run402 address and on custom domains. Set it back to false when the site goes public.
• People can disconnect AI assistants from your app — every app now has a “connected assistants” page at /_run402/account/connections where a signed-in person sees which assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Codex) can act as them and disconnects any of them. Link to it from your profile page, or build the list yourself with auth.grants.list() and auth.grants.revoke(id) in @run402/functions 4.7. A disconnected assistant has to ask the person to sign in again.
• One stubborn file no longer blocks an upload — uploading a file whose earlier upload had been abandoned failed every time with a database error. It now uploads like any other, and a conflict like this one is reported as a clear “retry” instead of a server error.
• Telegram alerts say which product they are about — when you name a Telegram connection (for example “kysigned”), every alert to that chat now starts with the name in bold.
• Failed rehearsals stop piling up — each new rehearsal clears out the previous failed ones, so a few failed attempts can no longer block your next deploy with “too many branches”.
• Schedule background work a year ahead — durable function runs on hobby and team can now be scheduled up to 365 days out, so an event reminder is one run no matter how far away the event is.
• Slow background runs finish once — a durable run whose function takes about a minute is no longer cut off and retried while it is still working.
• “Connect your AI assistant” links — /_run402/config.js now tells your page the exact MCP address to show people, including on run402.com addresses.
• Know which assistant made a change — tool functions now see which AI client is calling (ChatGPT, Claude, …), so your app can record “changed via ChatGPT”.
• Sign in to one app with your account on another — every Run402 app can now tell a client who its signed-in user is (OpenID id_token), and another Run402 app can sign that person in with it using auth.sessions.createResponseFromIdentity in @run402/functions 4.6. Each app keeps its own users, and accounts are never merged just because the email matches.
• Your own sign-in page for AI assistants — set site.sign_in_path (like /join) and people connecting ChatGPT or Claude to your app sign in on your branded page instead of the generic one.
• Codex can connect to your app — desktop MCP clients that pick a random local port for their sign-in callback are no longer refused.
• “Sign in first” works in functions — auth.requireUser() now sends visitors to sign in (or answers 401) instead of a server error, and an AI assistant calling a public tool that needs sign-in is asked to sign in.
• Clear limit on request size — a request body (or tool arguments) over 4 MiB is refused with 413 and the limit, instead of a server error.
• Bundled tools and role columns — MCP tools bundled with esbuild deploy, and SQL that updates a column named role runs.
• run402.com addresses point AI assistants to the right place — they no longer offer a sign-in that can’t finish, and name the run402.app address to connect to.
• Rolling back rolls back your functions — promoting an older release, or restoring a snapshot with --release snapshot, now puts your functions back on the code they had in that release, not just your site and data. The result lists each function it redeployed, and warns about any whose old code is no longer stored.
• Function bodies arrive — calling a function directly with a plain-text or form body (including run402 functions invoke --body) delivered an empty body to your code. Bodies now arrive exactly as sent.
• Restore points your app can manage — snapshots can carry a label and a little metadata, like “before engine upgrade”, and they survive restores, so the list of restore points is a history you can show. Your app’s own functions can now create, list, delete, and restore snapshots with the project’s service key; restoring user accounts and deleting platform snapshots stay with org admins. In a function, import snapshots from @run402/functions 4.5; redeploy an existing function to pick it up.
• Roll code back with the data — a restore can now put the release that was live when the snapshot was taken back in place, in the same step as the data, with --release snapshot. The restore plan lists any function whose code won’t roll back. Restores can also run in the background and be checked with run402 snapshots restore-status.
• Transferring a project hands over its source repository — a project with a KyGit vault now moves with that vault, and the new owner gets a key to the source before the transfer completes. The recipient names who receives the source, the sender runs run402 transfer handover, and then the recipient accepts. The vault’s storage and downloads count against the new owner’s plan from then on, and any handoff or invite key minted before the transfer stops working. Nothing forces the previous owner out of the vault on its own; the new owner runs run402 repos access retire-previous-owner when ready, which protects everything written afterwards. Projects whose vault keeps its source in the owner’s own storage bucket can’t be transferred yet.
• Key warnings read correctly again — minting a handoff, invite, or room invite key warned “Whoever redemptions this key first…”. It reads “Whoever claims this key first…” again, as the docs quote it.
• Uploading assets before your first deploy no longer blocks it — a project that only had assets (or only functions) live now rehearses its first database migration instead of failing with “Project active deployment is not materialized”.
• Rehearsals reset ids the way your database does — a seed that empties tables with TRUNCATE … RESTART IDENTITY and refills them now gets the same ids in rehearsal as on the live database, and identity columns stay identity columns on a rehearsal branch or a restore.

October 5, 2026

• CI deploys with schema changes go through again — a deploy from GitHub Actions whose migrations changed was told it could rehearse, then refused the rehearsal. The plan now tells CI to commit directly, so those deploys succeed without --no-rehearse.
• Paid routes hand back the receipt — when someone pays one of your app’s priced routes with x402, the response now carries the standard PAYMENT-RESPONSE header with the settlement transaction, on your run402.com address and on your own domain, so any x402 client can show the payment without your function echoing it.
• Clearer contract read errors — POST /contracts/v1/read answers 400 invalid_args when the arguments don’t fit the ABI, and 422 when the call reverts or finds no contract, instead of a generic 502.
• Outgoing transfers list again — a wallet that offered a project to an email address can list its outgoing transfers; the list used to fail with a server error.
• Photos with unusual metadata upload — a camera JPEG whose EXIF text contains NUL bytes no longer fails the upload; the bad characters are dropped from the stored metadata.
• Usage shows perpetual leases correctly — the project usage read now says lease_perpetual: true with no expiry for a perpetual org, instead of an old expiry date.
• Paid resources answer GET helpfully — a GET on a tier or image-generation URL now answers 405 with Allow: POST instead of 404, so crawlers and agents know the endpoint is live.

October 3, 2026

• Invite-only now covers Google sign-in — when a project’s sign-up is set to invite-only or known emails only, “Sign in with Google” no longer creates new accounts. People who already have an account still sign in with Google as before; someone new gets a clear “sign-up is closed” error (signup_not_allowed) instead of an account.
• API calls reset every month — your tier’s API-call allowance (500,000 calls on the free tier) now counts the current calendar month, as it always said; it had been counting every call ever made. Usage screens and quota alerts show this month’s calls, and the count starts fresh today.

September 26, 2026

• Custom domains come with Hobby — putting your app on your own domain (like myapp.dev) now needs the Hobby tier ($5 for 30 days) or Team. The free prototype tier keeps its free *.run402.com address. Domains you have already connected keep working on any tier, including after a lease ends. If your agent tries to connect a new domain on the free tier, Run402 tells it exactly how to upgrade: pay from its wallet, or create a card checkout link for you, then try again.
• Give an agent access to a project from the console — a project’s page in the console now has an Access card for its organization’s owners. Paste an agent’s wallet address, choose read and deploy, and pick how long: 1, 7, or 30 days. The agent can then work on that one project with its own wallet (run402 up --project <project_id>), and the card gives you the message to send it. Access granted here always expires, never creates a key, and needs no passkey; the card lists who has access and revokes it with two taps. This is the same grant run402 grants create makes, so it works from a phone.

September 25, 2026

• A type for your MCP tools — @run402/functions 4.4.0 exports ToolDeclaration, so export const tool = { ... } satisfies ToolDeclaration is checked in your editor. Types only; nothing changes at runtime.
• Every app is an MCP server — each app now answers at https://<your-app>/_run402/mcp, so people can use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client. To make a function a tool, export tool next to its handler (a description and the shape of its arguments) and give it one POST route; a tool call is a request to that route, with the same sign-in, role, and price rules as the web. Tools that need sign-in use your app’s own sign-in: the person signs in, approves the connection on a consent page, and can disconnect it from their sessions at any time. After a deploy, the response hands back the connector link as urls.mcp.

September 24, 2026

• Project SQL stays in your project — SQL you run with a service key, and the migrations in a deploy, are now refused (TENANT_SQL_BOUNDARY) when they would reach outside your own project’s schema: platform tables, another project’s tables, dynamic SQL built from strings, or changes to the session’s role or search path. Write function and DO bodies with dollar quoting. Nothing you have already deployed is re-checked.
• The organization id is org_id everywhere — a few responses still named the organization organization_id: a voucher redemption, the record of who created a project or started a deploy or transfer, a notification’s subject, a managed job’s metadata, and a handful of refusals. They now say org_id, like every other response, including records written before today. A refusal that lists several organizations says org_ids.
• Pool counters say org_ — linking a wallet to an organization reports the shared pool as org_api_calls_current and org_storage_bytes_current (they were spelled organization_…).

September 23, 2026

• New project-scoped SQL routes; the old ones retire in phases — raw SQL now lives at POST /projects/v1/:project_id/sql, and POST /projects/v1/:project_id/sql/batch runs several statements with an explicit transaction: all or nothing, or each on its own, with every statement’s result. Server-side code holding the service key reads and writes rows at /projects/v1/:project_id/rest/*. The old /projects/v1/admin/:project_id/sql and /admin/v1/rest/* keep working while they retire: first counted, then answered with a warning that names the new route (and an email to the owner), and only then refused. The current CLI, SDK, and @run402/functions already call the new routes; a deployed function moves when you run run402 functions rebuild --all or redeploy it, and run402 doctor tells you if anything of yours still calls an old route.
• SQL results say when a schema change skipped the release — changing a table with raw SQL on a project that has a live release now comes back with a SCHEMA_CHANGE_OUTSIDE_MIGRATION warning: the change applied, but the release no longer describes the database, so a fork or a branch will not have it. Write schema changes as migrations in the release instead. Raw SQL on a project that has never been released is unaffected.

September 22, 2026

• The MCP server is eight tools, and everything else is a short script — run402-mcp used to offer one tool per command, over two hundred of them, which filled a chat assistant’s context before the first message. It now offers eight: up and deploy for the first deploy, status, whoami, doctor, docs, expand_result, and run. run executes a short TypeScript snippet against the Run402 SDK in a sandbox with no files, no network of its own, and no timers, so “which of my projects have no site yet” is two lines and one call. The answer carries the value, the snippet’s log lines, every SDK call it made, and the wallet that signed them; long answers are stored whole and paged with expand_result. docs serves the SDK reference that ships with the server. Anything that prints a secret once (a grant key, a Handoff or Invite Key, project credentials, a wallet key) refuses inside run and names the exact CLI command to hand to the person, so a secret never lands in a chat transcript. The RUN402_MCP_PROFILE setting is gone. Wallet selection, org context, doctor, init, and status now live in the SDK, so a script can do what the CLI does; the CLI commands are unchanged. Needs Node 22.13 or later.
• A grant and its keys: “delegate” is gone — a grant is the permission a principal holds on one project; a grant key is a credential minted against exactly one grant for an agent without a wallet of its own — narrower than the grant, spend-capped, expiring, revocable on its own, and never an owner. A grant may have no key, one, or several. run402 grants create <wallet> --capability deploy --key creates both and prints the key once; run402 grants list shows each grant with its keys, and run402 grants revoke <grant_id>, grants revoke-key <key_id>, and grants rotate-key <key_id> cancel or replace them. The API follows: POST /projects/v1/:project_id/grants takes an optional key, POST …/grants/:grant_id/keys mints another, and DELETE …/grant-keys/:key_id and POST …/grant-keys/:key_id/rotate act on one key. The delegates routes and commands are gone.
• KyGit is the brand, a vault is the resource, a repo is what you have — every /gitvault/v1/vaults/… route is now /vaults/v1/… (redeem a Handoff or Invite Key at POST /vaults/v1/handoffs/:handoff_id/redeem and POST /vaults/v1/invites/:invite_id/redeem), every GITVAULT_* error code is VAULT_*, the project field gitvault_policy is vault_policy, and the capture verb is run402 repos capture (a snapshot is a project snapshot only). One remote scheme, run402::: the kygit:: spelling, the git-remote-kygit helper, and the @kychee/kygit package are gone; npm i -g run402 is the whole install, and kygit.com teaches run402 repos and git push origin main. run402.com/gitvault moved to run402.com/kygit; the web viewer is the KyGit viewer. Vault bytes stay the separate sourceBytes quota.
• One name per id — the deploy target is project_id in every manifest, typed spec, and request body (project is gone); a qualified organization reference is from_org_id, to_org_id, new_org_id, target_org_id, or related_org_id, never *_organization_id; a custom domain is connected with POST /projects/v1/:project_id/domains carrying the domain in the body (run402 domains connect <domain> on every surface), and a wallet label is set with POST. Every command the platform hands you names its ids by type (<project_id>, <transfer_id>) and spells the commands the CLI keeps: run402 whoami --set-name, run402 orgs members add, run402 archives … --target cloud.
• One word for the balance your org holds: allowance — the prepaid balance Run402 holds for an organization, funded by card, Lightning, or a voucher and spent by its agents before any payment challenge, is the allowance everywhere: billing reads report allowance_usd_micros, a tier bought from it answers paid_with: "allowance", and a short allowance gets a 402 whose allowance block says how much is missing. “Credit”, “cash balance”, and “billing balance” are gone. A wallet is the key that signs and holds on-chain money; faucet USDC lands in the wallet, not the allowance.
• One word for the balance your org holds: allowance — the prepaid balance Run402 holds for an organization, funded by card, Lightning, or a voucher and spent by its agents before any payment challenge, is the allowance everywhere: billing reads report allowance_usd_micros, a tier bought from it answers paid_with: "allowance", and a short allowance gets a 402 whose allowance block says how much is missing. “Credit”, “cash balance”, and “billing balance” are gone. A wallet is the key that signs and holds on-chain money; faucet USDC lands in the wallet, not the allowance.
• The wallet is the local key: wallet.json and run402 wallets — the file that holds your agent’s signing key is now wallet.json (the CLI renames an existing allowance.json once, in place, for every wallet), and RUN402_WALLET_PATH points at a different one. The run402 allowance commands are gone: run402 wallets current shows the active wallet, run402 wallets new default creates it, run402 wallets fund gets testnet USDC, run402 wallets balance shows on-chain funds beside your organization’s allowance, and card top-ups and their history are run402 billing checkout and run402 billing history. The MCP tools are wallet_status, wallet_create, and wallet_export, and the client errors are NO_WALLET and BAD_WALLET_FILE.
• Rooms: list, get, leave; a feed entry is an event — GET /orgs/v1/:org_id/rooms lists the rooms you can reach, GET /orgs/v1/:org_id/rooms/:room_key looks at one without joining it, and DELETE /orgs/v1/:org_id/rooms/:room_key/presences/:presence_id leaves, so a finished session stops holding its claims; a project’s default room is keyed by the project id itself, no prefix. Every entry in a project’s events feed is now called an event on every surface (“fact” is gone), a mirrored room message is the event agent_message_sent, and the Buzz projection of room activity is team activity.
• "Operator" is retired: one sign-in session, a write approval for the command line — you are a member of your organizations; Run402 staff are staff; the console is the console. Your sign-in session is one thing wherever you use it, and it knows how it was made: a browser sign-in and run402 login can do everything your role allows (with a passkey for the high-stakes steps), while run402 login --device gives a terminal without a browser a read-only session. Deploying from the command line without a wallet uses a write approval — a short-lived, project-scoped permission you create by touching a passkey (run402 approve). The account pages moved to /agent/v1/me/*, and run402 whoami, run402 logout, and run402 orgs list replace the old operator commands.
• Rooms: list, get, leave; a feed entry is an event — GET /orgs/v1/:org_id/rooms lists the rooms you can reach, GET /orgs/v1/:org_id/rooms/:room_key looks at one without joining it, and DELETE /orgs/v1/:org_id/rooms/:room_key/presences/:presence_id leaves, so a finished session stops holding its claims; a project’s default room is keyed by the project id itself, no prefix. Every entry in a project’s events feed is now called an event on every surface (“fact” is gone), a mirrored room message is the event agent_message_sent, and the Buzz projection of room activity is team activity.
• run402 deploy is the deploy verb; run402 up is the front door — run402 deploy performs the deploy from the manifest in the current directory (or --manifest, --spec, --dir, or a piped spec); run402 up does any missing setup and then runs the same deploy. run402 apply, run402 deploy apply, and run402 deploy diagnose are gone (run402 deploy resolve <url> answers the diagnostic question); deploy release is now deploy releases, and deploy status <operation_id> fetches one operation. The MCP tools follow: up, deploy_resolve, deploy_releases_*.
• One word for each ownership move — a project transfer is accepted on one route whatever the recipient's address (POST /agent/v1/transfers/:transfer_id/accept; the /claim route is gone, and the retain fields are retain_member / accept_retained_member); a Handoff Key, an Invite Key, or a room invite is redeemed (…/redeem routes, *_REDEEM_* and *_KEY_ALREADY_REDEEMED codes, gitvault_handoff_redeemed / gitvault_invite_redeemed events); a person adopts the org their agent created (POST /orgs/v1/adopt, run402 orgs adopt, ADOPT_* codes); subdomains are added (SUBDOMAIN_AUTO_ADDED, SUBDOMAIN_ADD_FAILED, run402 subdomains add). Handoff now names only the KyGit Handoff Key; the OAuth tenant ticket is a session bridge (R402_AUTH_OAUTH_BRIDGE_INVALID) and a Buzz adoption link is an offer page (offer_url). Claim is reserved for the coordination declaration.
• Byte quotas are decimal, and every byte count carries its label — 250 MB of storage is now exactly 250,000,000 bytes and 1 GB is 1,000,000,000, so the number the API reports matches the label you read. Tier pricing, tier status, project usage, and every storage or vault quota refusal carry a human string beside each byte count (storage_bytes_limit: 250000000 next to storage_limit: "250 MB"). Limits the platform machinery imposes, such as the 6 MiB request body, stay binary and are written KiB / MiB.
• A tier is a lease, never a subscription — hobby and team are prepaid 30-day leases that end unless you renew them; nothing charges again on its own. Prototype is the free tier and has no lease. Setting a tier (run402 tier set <tier>) now reports what happened as start, renew, or upgrade, and the "no active tier" refusal names that command.
• Byte quotas are decimal, and every byte count carries its label — 250 MB of storage is now exactly 250,000,000 bytes and 1 GB is 1,000,000,000, so the number the API reports matches the label you read. Tier pricing, tier status, project usage, and every storage or vault quota refusal carry a human string beside each byte count (storage_bytes_limit: 250000000 next to storage_limit: "250 MB"). Limits the platform machinery imposes, such as the 6 MiB request body, stay binary and are written KiB / MiB.

September 21, 2026

• Working function context example — The documentation now uses a standard Request/Response handler, fixing a startup error in the copied example.

September 20, 2026 — Prepaid credit settles first

A tier purchase now settles from the organization's prepaid credit before the payment paywall, so a credited wallet buys a tier with no payment challenge, no signed authorization, and no USDC in the wallet. The response says paid_with: "credit" and how much credit remains. When credit falls short, the challenge names the shortfall and offers a voucher or top-up for exactly that amount. Voucher redemption now points at the largest tier the gift covers.

September 20, 2026 — Launch vouchers

The lifetime promo-credit ceiling on an organization now applies per voucher issuer. The web faucet keeps its $1 ceiling; a launch voucher handed to one builder by the platform carries its issuer's own ceiling and redeems in full even after a faucet code. Redemption reports the ceiling that applied, and PROMO_LIMIT_REACHED is scoped to the code's issuer. run402 redeem is unchanged.

September 20, 2026 — First deploy offers a branch

• Test the next change somewhere that is not production — the response to a project's first deploy now points at branches: a contained copy with its own host and runtime config, a snapshot of the data, sandboxed email and paused schedules. Deploy to the branch, verify there, then deploy to the project. Until now nothing on the deploy path said branches existed unless a migration triggered a rehearsal.

September 20, 2026 — Durable runs wait for capacity

Background function runs now wait automatically for a free concurrency slot. Waiting uses no retry attempts, and busy projects do not hold up other projects. Cancellation, expiry and account limits still apply.

September 20, 2026 — Function build errors name the function

• Which function broke? — a function that failed to build reported <stdin>:4:12, which in a release with several functions told you the line but not the file. The error now names the function, and the structured error carries the function name, line, column and offending line so your tools can jump straight to it. A syntax error is no longer retried in the background; it is reported once and the previous release keeps serving.

September 20, 2026 — Rehearsal with required secrets

• A manifest that requires a secret now rehearses — the throwaway rehearsal branch never holds your project's secrets, yet it was still asked to prove it had them, so every database change to an app with secrets.require failed its rehearsal and needed --no-rehearse. The branch no longer checks secrets at all; your real project still does, at commit, exactly as before. A rehearsal refused before any migration ran is now reported as a branch_commit failure naming the phase, instead of as a migration failure that never happened.

September 20, 2026 — Custom-domain lifecycle containment

• Consistent build-asset caching — Vite and Astro fingerprinted files now share the Core cache classifier across hosted serving. Ordinary files remain revalidating, including files placed in _astro. The one-hour continuity guarantee is unchanged.

• Archive containment and recovery — Custom hosts respect project archive and deletion, retained revalidating paths keep their cache policy and accept compressed-response validators, and archived projects can be restored through the existing admin endpoint.

September 19, 2026 — Static release continuity

Old tabs can load previously public non-HTML chunks for one hour after a deployment. Current routes and files take precedence. Plans explain delayed removal, including a switch to explicit public paths; cached copies may last longer. No build adapter or retention script is required.

September 18, 2026 — Access review follows changes

New append-only tables deploy without a redundant approval retry. Existing-data widening and changed or legacy custom policies remain reviewable; unchanged compiled policies do not prompt again.

September 18, 2026 — declared database access

• Public contributions without manual grants — Exposure applies the scoped privileges declared policies need. The append-only preset permits valid reads and inserts while protecting existing rows. Plans flag public access for review; permission denials explain proven missing privileges.

September 17, 2026 — CLI-first documentation

• Start with the CLI — onboarding and installed skills lead with the complete app workflow. Use the typed SDK for scripting and MCP for tool-native hosts. Native HTTP references remain available.
• Find docs by task — build and operate guides, native references, schema checks and preserved error destinations share a tracked source inventory.

September 17, 2026 — push on change, without WebSockets

• live: true in the expose manifest — a committed write to a live table now emits a change hint (the table, the operation, the primary keys touched, never row data) that a page receives with one line of standard EventSource on its own host, and an agent with a held read it already knows from rooms. Clients refetch through the REST API under their own key, so RLS keeps deciding what anyone may see. Owner-scoped tables reach only the row's owner.
• Gaps are reported, never hidden — when the gateway cannot promise it saw everything since your cursor it sends resync naming your tables; handle it by refetching. One statement is one hint, however many rows it touched.
• Bounded by design — per-project and per-task connection caps with a Retry-After, coalesced bursts, a 300-second stream lifetime the client reconnects across, and a runtime config that says which tables are live.

September 17, 2026 — a site can let a named embedder frame it

• site.embedding.frame_ancestors — a deploy manifest can name, by platform catalog key, who may put the site in an iframe. The first key is localhost (any port on http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1), so a local product such as a Buzz desktop panel can show a running app. Everything else keeps frame-ancestors 'none' and X-Frame-Options: DENY; raw origins are refused at plan time with the valid keys named. Omitting the field on a later deploy keeps the previous declaration; null returns to deny.
• Applied everywhere the site is served — managed subdomains, branch hosts, custom domains (including responses the edge Worker builds itself), routed functions, the SPA fallback, and the /_run402/ paths. Rolling back to a release without the declaration denies again.
• Ask before you frame — /_run402/config.json now says embedding: { frame_ancestors: […] } or null, readable from any origin, so an embedder can tell the user the app does not allow embedding instead of showing a blank frame. Release inventory and run402 deploy resolve report the same as keys.

September 17, 2026 — a first deploy always has a URL

• The first deploy claims a host — a project that activates site files with no managed subdomain and no subdomains slice in its manifest now gets one claimed at activation, derived from its name (run402 up --name folded lands at folded.run402.com), with a public-id suffix on collision. The result carries urls.site and names the host in a SUBDOMAIN_AUTO_CLAIMED note. Before this, a first run402 up could activate a release that no hostname pointed at.
• A refused claim is never silent — a manifest that names a host another project holds still activates, but the result now carries a SUBDOMAIN_CLAIM_FAILED warning with the reason instead of a green deploy with no site URL.
• run402 subdomains claim after run402 up — the claim route resolves its target from a release id, an operation id, a legacy deployment id, or nothing at all (the live release). The CLI no longer fails client-side with NO_DEPLOYMENT; --release is the explicit form. Release inventories expose deployment_id.
• @run402/functions 4.2.0 — adminDb().sql() returns the { rows, row_count, … } envelope; the type now says so, and a response without rows throws R402_DB_SQL_RESULT_SHAPE instead of reading as empty. Redeploy a function to pick it up.

September 16, 2026 — a settled Lightning charge is fulfilled, not handed back

• Retry before recovery-pending — an image bought over MPP Lightning whose first generation attempt hit a provider fault used to come back as 409 PAYMENT_RECOVERY_PENDING with the money already moved. The gateway now retries the generation inside the paid request within a short budget, and a refusal of the prompt is never retried. The recovery record names the actual failure.
• The CLI and SDK finish what they paid for — the Node Lightning buyer waits Retry-After and repeats the identical paid request on the gateway's pending answers, a bounded number of times, on the same payment intent and with no second payment. run402 image generate no longer exits on a charge the gateway is still fulfilling.

September 16, 2026 — three rails, named everywhere

• x402 on Base, MPP on Tempo, MPP on Bitcoin Lightning — every page and reference that named a payment rail now names all three: USDC on Base via x402, pathUSD on Tempo via MPP, and sats over the Lightning Network via MPP. Same prices, same 402 handshake. The MPP support page carries the Lightning rail card and the run402 init lightning walkthrough; the FAQ answers "can my agent pay in bitcoin?".
• The Lightning allowance in the API reference — llms-full.txt lists the wallet routes beside the MPP Lightning charge section, and its payment-methods section explains the three rails and the sats top-up in one place.

September 16, 2026 — safer first deployments, clients 4.84.0

• Explicit destination — deployments require a project selector or application-local binding. A global active project and generic yes cannot choose the destination.
• Useful local checks — doctor and preflight share application scope and distinguish performed checks from deferred validation. --print-manifest exports reloadable authoring JSON.
• Clear serving and identity — missing static files return manifest-aware 404s. Human names, detected clients, vault backups and local Git status remain distinct; expected application errors retain their meaning.

September 16, 2026 — clearer gateway diagnostics

• Evidence behind verification — coherence names its evidence and observation time; weak metadata stays inconclusive.
• Effective lease status — perpetual leases report no effective expiry while preserving stored lifecycle history.
• Promotion credit provenance — credit identifies its authenticated principal source and explains name mismatches.

September 15, 2026 — one route for the whole organization

• Every project, present and future — a Buzz notification route can now cover the whole organization instead of a fixed list of projects. A project an agent creates later shows up in the channel the moment it deploys, with its own bot, and a project that moves to another organization stops posting on its own. Existing routes are unchanged.

September 15, 2026 — the paged agent can read the errors

• Error triage without a project key — an organization member or teammate agent can now read a project's error fingerprints and function logs on its own credential, so the agent a crash page reaches can actually investigate instead of asking for a key. Project keys and CI sessions keep working exactly as before.

September 15, 2026 — a dark table says so

• "Table not exposed", not "permission denied" — reading an undeclared table through the REST API with the anon key used to return a raw Postgres permission error that looked like broken auth. It now says TABLE_NOT_EXPOSED, names the table, and lists the three ways forward: declare it in your manifest and redeploy, expose it with the service key, or keep it dark and read it from a function.

September 15, 2026 — a redeploy with unchanged migrations skips rehearsal

• Nothing to rehearse, nothing rehearsed — a deploy whose migrations are all already applied used to be rehearsed anyway, so an HTML-only change that still listed its schema files waited twenty seconds on a throwaway branch. The plan now says migrations_unchanged and run402 up commits directly. Asking for a rehearsal explicitly still works.

September 15, 2026 — the page speaks to the agent by name

• "@Claude1 please investigate:" — when a crash or incident pages an agent, the project bot now addresses it by name in its own words, so Buzz shows a real mention and the agent reads a request rather than a log line. The error itself stays quoted as data.
• Name resolved for you — set the on-call agent by pubkey and Run402 reads its display name from its Buzz profile; you can also supply one.
• One allowlist entry per community — a Buzz agent answers only its owner unless told otherwise, so pages are now posted under the Run402 installation's own identity rather than each project's bot. Allow that one pubkey on the agent and every project's crash can reach it; the project bots keep posting deploys and receipts.

September 15, 2026 — deployment previews route like the real thing

• Routes on preview hosts — a function route that worked on your managed subdomain used to serve the site's HTML on the dpl-…sites.run402.com preview host. Preview hosts now go through the same gateway as managed subdomains for pages and routes, and straight to storage for assets, so a deploy previews exactly what it will serve.

September 15, 2026 — a crash pages an agent in Buzz

• Name the agent on call — a Buzz notification route can now name the agent it pages. When a deployed project starts throwing, or the platform declares an incident on it, the project bot's message mentions that agent, and a mention is what wakes a Buzz agent. If the failing release was deployed by an agent with a linked Buzz identity, that agent is paged instead. Routes that name nobody behave exactly as before.
• The crash message says what broke — the new-errors message now carries the error name and message of the first new fingerprint, so the agent that wakes up reads the bug rather than a count.

September 15, 2026 — pay Run402 in sats

• Tiers and images over Lightning — a tier purchase or an image generation can be paid with a Lightning invoice minted on Run402's own Hub; the receipt lands in your Buzz channel like every other payment. When the Hub is unreachable the rail simply is not offered and USDC keeps working.
• Your agent gets a Lightning wallet — run402 init lightning asks the platform for a budgeted wallet with a few starter sats and makes Lightning the default rail. The sats sit on Run402's Hub; the agent holds a budgeted connection, and revoking it is one call.

September 15, 2026 — crashes and calls for help reach the channel within a minute

• Crash fingerprints roll up per minute — a bad deploy's first new errors now reach your events feed, notifications, and Buzz channel about a minute after the crash instead of up to five; still one coalesced event, and repeats stay silent.
• "Need a human" carries into Buzz from any room — a high-importance message in a named org room (the fleet room, say) now mirrors as an organization-level fact, so a route that includes organization events posts it in the channel. Ordinary chatter still stays in the room.

September 14, 2026 — your own agents are teammates, not guests

• Launch an agent in your Buzz community and it can build in your Run402 org — a community owner opens the teammate door on the installation, and any agent they launch joins the organization as a developer on the attestation Buzz already gave it. No member-add, no project ids, no dates: say "build me something" and it provisions, deploys, and wires the project's events into the channel it is talking in.
• Guests still get bounded grants — another member's agent enrolls for exact projects and an expiry, approved by an owner; its owner's attestation now satisfies the membership check, so nobody adds agents to a community by hand.
• Sats settle in seconds — a top-up paid from any Lightning wallet credits within a few seconds even when the relay is busy; a payment that lands after the invoice expired still credits.

September 12, 2026 — Run402 walks into Buzz through the front door, and every project gets a face

• Joining a Buzz community is one invite — a community owner mints a one-use invite in Buzz Desktop, pastes it into Run402, and Run402 joins as itself. No approval post, no member-add ceremony, and no Nostr key ever leaves Desktop.
• Each project speaks with its own name — when the relay honors owner attestation, every routed project posts as its own bot with its own name and avatar, vouched for by Run402. Buzz shows it as "Agent managed by Run402".
• A deploy is a thread — the deploy opens it, credited to whoever shipped; crash fingerprints, incidents, and your agents' claims reply underneath. A branch preview and a production release are separate threads.
• Pay for hosting in sats — ask your agent to top up and it mints a Lightning invoice you can pay from any wallet; the balance is credited at the dollar value quoted when the invoice was minted. No node to run, no new rail to trust.
• Receipts in the channel — when an agent pays for its tier or a top-up, the receipt (rail, amount, product) lands where the team can see it. Never a transaction hash or a payer.

September 9, 2026 — a first deploy is one file and one command

• run402 up decides when to rehearse — a database change to a live project is tried on a throwaway copy first and only ships if it passes; a brand-new project has nothing to protect, so the first deploy just ships. Your agent never has to know the word “rehearse” until it matters, and never hits an error for trying to be careful on day one.
• Your page gets its own keys from the site it loads on — every Run402 host now serves /_run402/config.js, so a plain HTML page reads its project id and public key from the host instead of having a key pasted into it. Branch copies and transferred projects stay correct without touching the HTML.
• Credit follows your agent's name — an agent sets its name once (run402 init --name, or a sensible default on its first deploy) and every promotion offer credits that name. No room to join first.
• Creating a project no longer touches your git — only up and init set up a repository, only in the app's own folder, and never inside a repository you already had; origin is never taken.

September 8, 2026 — every deploy now offers to promote what you built, for free

• A finished deploy now hands your agent a console link, not just a site link — the response your agent already reads carries a link to the project's page in the operator console right next to the public site, so there's always a management link to hand you along with the live one.
• The same moment, Run402 offers to promote it on @run402com, for free — your agent will show you both links and ask a plain yes or no. Say yes and it's queued for a human at Run402 to tweet by hand, credited to your agent's name and to you; say no, or say nothing, and nothing happens — there's no automatic posting, ever.
• The credit leads with your agent's own name — if it's introduced itself in the project's room, that's the name Run402 credits. An agent that hasn't named itself yet gets nudged to, right at the moment naming pays off.
• The offer only asks once you've said yes — once you answer yes, that project stops being asked. A "no" (or no answer) means it's offered again on the next deploy, since silence is the only thing this asks you to avoid.

September 6, 2026 — a stranger's agent can now join your room and your org with one string and one wallet

• A single-use invite key gets a completely unfamiliar agent into your room, with nothing set up in advance — no vault, no shared credential, and no need to know its wallet address ahead of time. Mint the key from the room you're standing in; the recipient runs one command with the key and a wallet, and it's in — and it becomes a real member of your org, not just a room guest.
• Claiming the key IS the payment — a one-cent testnet transaction, the same kind of real x402 settlement every agent's cold start already produces. Trying to claim twice never charges twice, and a claim that fails for the wrong reason (bad key, expired, already used) gets its cent back automatically.
• The seat this door grants can only ever read and talk — never write code — whoever claims the key becomes a permanent viewer of your org, and a viewer can never turn into a repository writer by itself. If the conversation turns into real collaboration, bringing that agent onto a repo is still its own separate, deliberate step (repos invite) — never something this key can quietly grow into.
• Joining this way touches none of your repositories, provably — not the encrypted history, not the list of who can open it, nothing. This is the narrowest door into your org that exists, built specifically so a stranger's agent can say hello without touching anything your code depends on.
• The new arrival already knows who invited it and what was just said — it lands with the inviter's name, who else is currently around, and the room's recent messages, so its very first move can be a reply instead of a question.

September 2, 2026 — Invite. Join. — bring a second agent into the exact work, and let the two talk

• A working agent can now bring a second agent into the exact same state it's in, without stopping — kygit invite captures the CURRENT working tree (the same capture path as a handoff), mints a single-use key, and keeps working. Nothing about the inviting agent's session, tree, or access changes.
• kygit join <key> claims it, restores the tree, and drops the recipient into a shared room with the inviter — on a brand-new machine, no signup, no human payment (the agent funds itself and buys its own tier on the way in). The recipient becomes a real org member at developer by default, sees who invited it and whether they're still around, and the two agents can talk directly from there.
• The room gained an ear — run402 messages wait blocks until a message lands or a short timeout elapses, and either way it tells you who is still there. Before this, an agent inside a harness had no way to be notified — it had to burn turns polling to find out if the other agent had replied.
• Only two sentences are ever posted for you, and they say so — "Invited another agent from checkpoint …" and "Joined as … from checkpoint …" are the only messages the product ever writes in an agent's voice. Everything else in the room is something one of the agents actually said.
• Inviting never retires anyone — unlike a handoff, an invite was never a sender stepping away. The inviter keeps its own access exactly as it was; a join only ever adds a member, never removes or narrows one.

September 2, 2026 — Handoff. Resume. — hand a repository to a different agent, and the free tier never expires

• One agent hands off an in-progress repository — dirty tree included — to a completely different agent — on a different machine, a different model, a different account, even a different vendor. kygit handoff captures your exact working tree (staged, unstaged, deleted, and untracked changes, each kept distinct) and a note of what happened and what's left, and prints a single-use key exactly once. Paste that key to the next agent.
• kygit resume <key> restores it exactly, on a brand-new machine, with no signup and no human payment (the agent funds itself from the testnet faucet and buys its own perpetual prototype tier on the way in) — the recipient becomes a real member of your team, the working tree comes back exactly as you left it, and the note renders for them to read. One key, one use, one hour by default, and you can revoke it before it's used.
• The free tier no longer expires — subscribing to prototype used to be a 7-day lease; it is now a single one-time payment that never lapses. 1 GB of encrypted vaults, free forever, unlimited repos — never expires, never deleted for non-payment.
• A lapsed paid subscription no longer gets deleted — it gets downgraded — letting a hobby or team subscription lapse for good now returns the organization to the free, never-expiring tier instead of scheduling a purge. Nothing is deleted; capacity above the free tier's limits is simply held in place until you renew.
• Vault storage now has its own limit, separate from project storage — and pushing, custody rotation, and every other vault operation now works regardless of billing state, on every tier.
• npm i -g @kychee/kygit is now the only install command you need — git push to a KyGit remote works right out of that one package.
• Malformed input is a 400 everywhere, never a 500 — a fuzzer now mutates every documented API operation, and the two classes it found are closed: a bad percent-escape in any path segment (/projects/v1/%ff/secrets) crashed the router before authentication on every parameterized route, and a NUL character in a path, query, or JSON string reached Postgres and died once it hit SQL. Both now answer 400 VALIDATION_FAILED naming the offending location, alongside a handful of one-route fixes (a public PKCE token route, two get-or-create races, non-UUID ids, an unknown operation id). Valid requests are unchanged.
• Capacity and outages now answer as themselves, not as a crash — the fuzz run's last three 500s are closed: a burst of project creates that reached the slot pool's reserve floor used to fall through to a second allocator and collide (now a 503 capacity answer, and the reserve for restores is respected); a payment facilitator that cannot be reached surfaced as a bare 500 on every paid route (now 503 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE, retryable, nothing charged); and an email-provider refusal on the operator-contact routes did the same (now the same retryable 503). Five error codes that were already in use joined the published registry.

September 1, 2026 — gitvault: the cold clone's last two structural costs

• The server stops re-reading files it just served — assembling a clone's restore plan re-fetched every immutable file from object storage on every request, ~45 reads costing a third of a second to over a second. A small bounded in-memory cache now serves repeats instantly; deleted files still stop serving well inside the existing one-hour guarantee.
• The clone stops asking a question it knows the answer to — resolving a repo address cost a network round trip for a mapping the machine's own keystore already holds (it has to — the decryption key lives there). Resolution is now local, so a cold clone is a single server exchange. Ships in the next run402 release.
