v0.15.0

[MehranMarxian]

Update, 2026-09: The Agent Bridge now covers 10 tools, not 7 — style_reference and
multi_reference joined in v0.18/v0.19, and unflatten in v0.20, on the same boundary described
below (an agent can set parameters and press the button, never capture a source). See the v0.20.0
announcement for what's new since.

v0.15.0 – Agent Bridge
OpenLayer's tools can now be driven by an AI assistant through the Model Context Protocol — Text to Image, Image to Image, Sketch to Image, Inpaint, Outpaint, Upscale, and Prompt from Layer. Everything runs locally on your machine and is off by default.

The bridge holds no Photoshop code — it only runs tools the panel already has and reads back results. Every safety rule the panel enforces applies identically to agent-driven generation.

Key highlights:

Agent Bridge covering all seven tools (enable in Setup → Agent Bridge)
Ask the Agent for a Prompt button — the panel requesting suggestions from your AI client
Local Node.js bridge (npm run hub + requires manual setup from the repo)
Version test prevents number mismatches across eight locations
Fixed v0.14.0 reporting wrong version in panel footer
Known limitations:

Bridge not included in .ccx/.zip — requires manual repo setup
Requires AI client with MCP sampling support
Agents cannot capture sources (layers/selections) — must be pre-selected in Photoshop
Loopback-only (127.0.0.1), one panel at a time
