OpenMausBot 0.1.96

Fixes you may have hit

• The desktop remembers your Cloud sign-in after a restart. Since v0.1.90 it forgot it on every restart on every OS, which showed "unlock your system keychain", hid lending and left a stale device entry at each new sign-in. (#2305)
• Threads of one bot run in parallel in its project folder. A bot with a project folder could run only one thread at a time there ("another thread is working in this project folder"). That rule is gone; threads run side by side like several coding sessions in one repo. (#2264)
• On Auto, bots don't touch a cloud computer. Only a bot that runs on the Computer engine, which needs one, reaches the hosted desktop on Auto. Others use it when you choose it in Works on, the message box or a cloud routine. This finishes the hosted-desktop fix in v0.1.95. (#2229)
• Group chats say what to do when a member can't run. A signed-out engine shows "Claude isn't signed in yet. Sign in below…" with a sign-in button, instead of raw CLI text; long errors show in full; sidebar previews no longer start with "error:". (#2237, #2253)
• Phone pairing on Windows and Linux. The QR now puts the computer's real Wi-Fi/Ethernet address first (virtual adapters such as WSL, Hyper-V and Docker go last), the phone tries every address and route in the QR before giving up, the failure message points to "same Wi-Fi, or turn on Remote access", and computer names keep their spaces. Phone-side half ships with the next app builds. (#2262, #2250, #2251)
• Screenshots no longer vanish from the desktop after a reload. (#2259)
• A saved sign-in that can't be read clears itself and asks you to sign in again, instead of failing quietly. (#2311)
• OpenAI-compatible chats run up to 64 steps per reply (was 16), and when they stop they say what to do next. (#2306)
• Webhooks on a Cloud run as the owner, at the bot's own level. They were treated like a guest's run, which forced Ask and blocked the terminal and project folder. (#2307)
• Web search works under "Approve for me". (#2292)
• Routines no longer loop a phone's live stream on an oversized frame. (#2248)
• Secure HTTPS setup on the desktop shows the right https:// address for a hosted route and logs why setup failed, with a support reference. (#2249, #2252)
• A bot's usage shows in the app's language (#2194); Apple Container images prepare correctly (#2245).
• Delegated work waiting on your approval is shown to you. (#2191)
• Connectors: blocked OAuth popups and abandoned accounts recover; an account alias can be retried. (#2197)

New

• Copy this computer's workspace to any server you add. Not only OpenMausBot Cloud: your own server, VPS or Docker install too. Offered right after you add an empty server, and in Settings → Backups → "Import from this computer". Sign-ins never travel; the server's existing workspace is backed up first with Swap back. Shared team spaces are refused with a clear reason. (#2238, #2246)
• Mobile: @mention picker in the composer; a routine calendar on Home; files a bot sends (video, audio, documents); activity hidden by default with a working bot's narration as one status line; clearer pairing and live-connection errors. (#2206, #2235, #2234, #2236, #2247)
• A bot can file an MCP server for you, saved switched off until you enable it. (#2212)
• Save a key for any OpenCode provider by its name (for example VENICE_API_KEY), on the desktop and on a Cloud. (#2308)
• Live calls on your own Cloud from the desktop app: the app now allows the microphone for them. (#2310)
• iPhone: Activity and Team memory screens. (#933)

Faster

• Rows redraw only when their own message changes; the visible window stays bounded in long threads; markdown is normalized once per message; the code-highlight cache is capped. (#2261, #2257, #2239, #2244, #2271)
• Streamed text goes out in 50 ms batches instead of word by word; whole transcripts are re-sent only when you switch threads; screen frames go straight to the panel that shows them; drafts are saved when typing pauses. (#2256, #2274, #2269, #2255)
• Engines stay warm between turns: one credential per engine session for every integration. (#2268)
• Teammate availability moved out of the cached half of the system prompt, so more of it is reused. (#2232)

Removed (simpler)

• The desktop's unused streaming-text state; an unused memory route; the half-built cloud overflow and idle computer release; the "tightening requests" feature; duplicate helpers. (#2230, #2231, #2258, #2275, #2254, #2280)

For OpenMausBot Cloud operators (already live)

• Cloud computers at once: Personal 1, Pro 4, Max 8.
• A Cloud that is slow to answer on first boot no longer alerts as "setup failed"; Fly refusals carry Fly's own reason.

Under the hood

• CI: merges no longer cancel main's run; the iOS build went from 30+ minutes (timed out) to about 3.5; two Windows flakes and a macOS e2e helper race fixed; new routes may not be added to server/index.ts; one transcript viewport hook for chats and rooms. (#2240, #2270, #2277, #2279, #2241, #2263, #2272, #2233, #2243)
