Orbit 0.5.1

Self-hosted Runner and isolated agent project workspaces — plus stability and UI fixes.

Self-hosted Runner

Run agent tasks on your own machine or server with a self-hosted @orbit/runner daemon. Orbit Editor stays the control UI — create tasks, stream live events, approve permissions, cancel, and reconnect. The runner owns the full agent loop (model calls and tools). Keys stay on the runner.

In the chat composer, pick Local or Self-hosted Runner. Local remains the default.

  • Pair a runner from Settings → Self-hosted Runners with a one-time code and WebSocket URL
  • Sync Chat BYOK providers to the runner (keys never leave the runner)
  • Same composer for remote execution against a GitHub/GitLab HTTPS remote
  • Live streaming, approvals, cancel, and reconnect with sequenced replay
  • Handoff actions: Open PR, Checkout locally, Apply locally
  • Protocol: orbit-runner-protocol/1 — see docs/self-hosted-runner.md

Agent project workspaces

Agent windows keep project context isolated per workspace — dedicated folders, picker, and scoped terminals/tools/history so parallel agent work does not collide.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Fix editor syntax highlighting in Orbit Light and the Agents window
  • Restructure the Color Theme picker and fix an accessor crash
  • Improve Explorer tree row spacing, remove focus outline, and add smooth twistie rotation
  • Clarify runner-stop errors and remove misleading Shell timeout tag
  • Fix slow remote sends and improve runner submit UX
  • Normalize OpenAI-compatible streaming for gateways that emit cumulative frames instead of deltas
  • Refresh ChatGPT Codex model catalog and request headers (GPT-5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4 Mini)
  • Linux release infrastructure (deb/rpm/AppImage) for upcoming platform support
