BioRouter v1.80.1

BioRouter v1.80.1 Release Notes

Release Date: June 2026
Repository: github.com/BaranziniLab/BioRouter

A patch release on top of v1.80.0 that makes the Knowledge feature fully usable from chat. You can now create, curate, visualize, and move knowledge bases entirely by talking to the agent — no need to switch to the Knowledge tab — and the graph view stays in sync with what the agent writes. No breaking changes.

What's Fixed

Knowledge bases curated from chat now visualize in the graph

When the agent authored knowledge pages from chat (via kb_write_page), the derived graph cache was never rebuilt, so the Knowledge tab showed 0 pages · 0 links even though the pages existed and cross-linked each other — and the Refresh graph button couldn't recover them because it only re-read the stale cache. kb_write_page now rebuilds the graph cache on every write (mirroring source ingestion), so pages and [[wiki-links]] the agent creates appear in the force-graph immediately.

The Knowledge tab reflects bases created from chat without a reload

The Knowledge view fetched its base list only once at app start, so a knowledge base the agent created in a chat wouldn't appear in the KB selector until a full app reload. The view now re-fetches the base list when it mounts and whenever the KB-selector palette opens, so chat-created bases show up right away.

Imported knowledge bases keep a consistent id

Importing a .brkb archive whose base id collided with an existing one assigned a deduplicated folder id (e.g. cardio-test-2) but left the archived manifest.yaml pointing at the original id — so the imported base displayed under the source's id and collided with it in the list. The importer now rewrites the manifest id to match the new folder/registry id.

What's New

First-class .brkb export / import from chat

Two new knowledge tools — kb_export and kb_import — let the agent write a knowledge base to a .brkb archive on disk and load one back in directly, instead of shelling out to zip the folder. Combined with the existing primitives, every Knowledge GUI operation (create, ingest, curate, lint, visualize, export, import) is now achievable purely by chatting with the agent.

Upgrading

No manual migration needed. Replace your existing installation with the new package for your platform.

• macOS: open the new DMG and drag BioRouter.app to /Applications, overwriting the existing copy
• Linux: sudo dpkg -i biorouter_1.80.1_amd64.deb or sudo rpm -U BioRouter-1.80.1-1.x86_64.rpm
• Windows: unzip and replace the existing installation folder

Existing knowledge bases are unaffected. A base created or curated before this release will populate its graph the next time the agent writes to it, or immediately via the Refresh graph button now that the cache is kept in sync.

Changes Since v1.80.0

• fix(knowledge): kb_write_page rebuilds the derived graph cache so chat-curated pages/links visualize
• fix(ui): Knowledge view + KB-selector palette re-fetch the base list (chat-created bases appear without reload)
• fix(knowledge): brkb::import rewrites the imported manifest id to the deduplicated folder id on collision
• feat(knowledge): kb_export / kb_import MCP tools for .brkb archives
