YveChat Engine 0.2.0 — developer preview

Unsigned developer preview. This is not a signed installer and has no automatic updater.

One archive covers Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Before you download

• Requires Node.js 24 or newer — https://nodejs.org/
• Requires Ollama running locally with at least one model — https://ollama.com/download
• Not code-signed: Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper will warn you
• First launch downloads locked dependencies, so it needs internet once

Setup

1. Extract the archive to a permanent folder.
2. Start the launcher for your system:
   • Windows — powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\start-windows.ps1
   • macOS — chmod +x start-macos.command && ./start-macos.command
   • Linux — chmod +x start-linux.sh && ./start-linux.sh
3. Keep the launcher window open.
4. Open https://app.yvechat.xyz and choose Connect YveChat Engine.
5. Allow local network access if the browser asks.
6. Compare the six-digit code in both tabs and approve locally.

The Engine listens only on 127.0.0.1:3210 and accepts browser connections only from https://app.yvechat.xyz.

Changes in 0.2.0

• The status route is now /api/engine/status. The former /api/bridge/status
  still answers, marked deprecated, so a browser paired against 0.1.0 keeps
  working while you upgrade.
• Pairing storage moved to engine_* tables. Existing databases are migrated in
  place: paired browsers and pending approvals are preserved.
• Browsers already paired keep their pairing; the stored token is adopted
  automatically.
• A browser on the current interface now recognises an Engine that predates this
  release as outdated rather than reporting it as not running.
