BlinkCode v1.4.3
BlinkCode v1.4.3
BlinkCode 1.4.3 is a security and reliability release focused on protecting the local IDE runtime, improving recovery from backend restarts, and making workspace problems easier to diagnose.
Highlights
Safer local runtime
- The BlinkCode backend now listens on the loopback interface only.
- HTTP API and WebSocket connections require an origin-bound local session.
- Terminal sessions are restricted to active workspace roots.
- Built-in REST Client requests to the local BlinkCode API remain supported without exposing the session token to external hosts.
More reliable IDE sessions
- HTTP requests automatically renew an expired local session.
- File watcher, terminal, and language-server WebSockets recover after an unexpected backend disconnect.
- File watcher cleanup no longer creates reconnect attempts after the related view is closed.
Better diagnostics
- Recoverable workspace, settings, state, and recovery-buffer errors are now logged with structured context.
- Important recoverable errors are also shown through the existing IDE notification system.
- Repeated notifications are deduplicated to avoid toast spam.
Architecture and maintenance
- The renderer API client is organized into file, workspace, Git, debugger, and AI domains.
- Large frontend modules were split into focused components and hooks.
- Previous architecture-gate exceptions were removed.
- Product, documentation, LSP client, website downloads, and artifact names are synchronized to version 1.4.3.
