  parameters:
    - key: test_param

macOS ARM64 Desktop App (Apple Silicon)

📱 Download macOS Desktop App (arm64, unsigned)

Instructions:

The easiest way is to just run the following script:

./scripts/pre-release.sh

script which will download the latest release (or you can specify the release you need), does the
unzip, xattr to get it out of quarantine and signs it.

If you need to do this manually:

  • Download the file
  • Unzip
  • run xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine '/path/to/Goose.app'
  • optionally run codesign --force --deep --sign - --entitlements ui/desktop/entitlements.plist '/path/to/Goose.app'
  • start the app

The signing step is only needed if you do something that uses mac entitlements like speech to text

Add ENABLE_TOOL_PAIR_SUMMARIZATION constant set to false to disable
the tool call/response summarization feature. The code is preserved
and can be re-enabled by setting the flag back to true.

P2 Badge Accept legacy conversation_so_far field in ChatRequest

Renaming the request field to override_conversation without a serde alias makes /reply silently ignore conversation_so_far from older desktop builds or third-party clients, because unknown JSON fields are dropped during deserialization; those clients then run against server-stored history instead of the caller-provided history, which can change behavior in flows that depended on explicit conversation overrides. Keeping a backward-compatible alias during the transition would avoid this regression.
