Where Cascade runs

Surface Purpose Availability notes
CLI Interactive Ink terminal and one-shot runs Does not provide the live desktop/cloud browser-control interface
Desktop Electron chat, Cockpit, code editor, terminal, integrated browser Privileged native capabilities require host-side controls
Cloud web Hosted chat, memory, files, account and connector features Hosted browser requires an operator-configured backend
Self-hosted web Run the cloud application on your own infrastructure Configure OAuth, storage persistence and TLS before external exposure
SDK Embed orchestration in Node apps Calling application handles credentials and approvals
OpenAI-compatible HTTP API Integrate existing SDK clients with /v1 Exposes Cascade routing modes, not full OpenAI parameter parity

How to read this wiki

The pages describe implemented, merged features. Available options vary by interface and configuration. For changes after this baseline, check the repository's main branch, CHANGELOG.md, and Weekly-Code-Changes. Roadmap items and open PRs are not necessarily released features.

Initial baseline: source main commit 352726b, package version 0.82.0. This version is the documented snapshot, not a prediction of the latest available release.
