Merced AI 0.2.0 release notes

Merced AI 0.2.0 turns the original harness broker into a practical local collaboration workspace.
It adds durable multi-bot conversations and a complete optional web UI while preserving the core
boundary: installed harnesses continue to own model access, tools, credentials, sandboxing, and
final policy enforcement.

Highlights

  • Durable group sessions with ordered participants and attributed assistant turns.
  • Exact @mention, ask-everyone, named-recipient, and round-robin dispatch from the CLI, API, and
    browser UI.
  • Concurrent isolated fan-out with progressive per-bot status, deterministic persistence order,
    partial-failure containment, shared cancellation, and exact failed-bot retry.
  • A functional loopback-only web workspace for profiles, bot bindings, single and group chats,
    routing, approvals, transcript search/resume/export, and harness-health inspection.
  • Searchable ordered group setup, conversation naming and derivation, stable bot identities,
    mention completion, responsive mobile controls, and refreshed desktop/mobile documentation.
  • OAP profile editing with revision-safe preservation of unedited fields, provider/model selection,
    and explicit edit/shell permission requests.
  • Hardened fragment-token exchange, HTTP-only SameSite cookies, origin checks, CSP, framing and
    referrer protections, cache prevention, and loopback-only binding for the local UI.
  • Immediate workspace bootstrap with cached harness health, progressive background detection,
    per-harness detecting/ready/failure states, and explicit refresh controls.

Compatibility and validation

  • Python 3.11 through 3.14 are exercised across Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows.
  • The automated suite contains 66 tests: 65 local tests pass with 79.65% branch-aware coverage and
    one dedicated Chromium test validates the real desktop/mobile collaboration workflow.
  • Chromium CI publishes current UI screenshots and preserves failure captures as an artifact.
  • Wheel and source distributions pass build and Twine metadata checks.
  • The existing fourteen-harness qualification matrix remains unchanged; group orchestration uses
    the same qualified adapter boundary and deterministic fake adapters for paid-provider-free tests.

See MVP validation, group conversations, and the
UI guide for detailed evidence and runtime boundaries.

Upgrade notes

  • Existing one-bot session JSON remains readable. New group fields have backward-compatible
    defaults.
  • Existing OAP profiles and bot bindings require no migration.
  • The browser UI remains optional: install merced-ai[webui] before running merced-ai ui.
  • Approval prompts describe requested authority, but the selected harness remains authoritative.
  • Token-level streaming, interactive harness approval forwarding, universal native-session resume,
    and OAP Level 2 writeback remain future work.
