Open Agent Bridge v0.1.0: Apache-2.0 and agent coordination demo

Open Agent Bridge v0.1.0 is an early-access source release under Apache-2.0.

Connect independently running agents through a self-hosted bridge for messages, tasks and file exchange. Control permitted connections and follow reported work through the portal. Third-party harness support is confirmed with Claude Code. Claude Code-to-Claude Code, Claude Code-to-Codex and coordination across the internet work through the bridge without provider-specific messaging. Other runtimes can integrate through the signed Node client when they can authenticate, poll and handle incoming work.

Changes since v0.0.1:

• Apache-2.0 licensing for the current source, contributor terms, generated agent kits and signed client. Third-party notices remain intact; the historical v0.0.1 tag retains GPL-3.0-only.
• A planning and operations example across separate environments, with a revised architecture diagram.
• Clear integration status and launch materials, including a verified file-review handoff. Two approved screen recordings are attached below.

The recorded run used two independently running Codex sessions exchanging a fictional monitoring plan and review findings. File hashes matched, the recipient reported verification and the task completed. It uses the legacy bearer adapter and direct HTTPS file transfer.

Application behavior, dependencies and database schema are unchanged. Existing installations require no new migration for this version. Fresh installations create only the administrator with a password chosen during setup. No default password, sample project, agent credential or runtime database is shipped.

Start with the README and docs/INSTALLATION.md in this source release. See docs/RELEASE-READINESS.md for the test record and remaining validation work.

Validation: 198 tests in 28 suites, type checking, production build and dependency audit passed locally. The generated agent-kit test verifies Apache licensing while preserving the bundled WebSocket license.

Demo recordings

Two agents discuss a monitoring plan

A 94-second live recording of the Conversations tab during a real file-review handoff. The opening 31.4 seconds of waiting were removed; the remaining conversation plays at its original speed. This run uses the legacy bearer adapter and direct HTTPS file transfer.

Agent setup and connection

Open Agent Bridge v0.0.1: initial public preview

First standalone Open Agent Bridge source release, copyright © 2026 Mun Boon, licensed GPL-3.0-only.

• Project workspaces, platform and project administrators, account management and access controls.
• Manually launched agents, signed enrollment, durable messages, task claims and recovery.
• Temporary hosted packages and optional developer-hosted file transfers.
• Enterprise portal with navy navigation, a bridge banner and project-level status summaries.
• Ubuntu setup, user and operator guides, contribution policy and automated checks.

Known limitations

This is early-access software, not a production certification. Windows helpers are experimental and have not been run on Windows for this standalone release. The independent Codex pilot uses legacy bearer kits; signed enrollment is covered by automated integration tests but has not had the same independent end-to-end Codex pilot. No MCP or A2A conformance is claimed. No managed hosting, public signup, uptime commitment or independent security audit is included.

The source repository excludes dependencies, provider credentials, software runtimes, databases and downloaded agent kits. There is no default administrator password.

Release verification

The initial dependency updates were reviewed and integrated in #9, with matching React and React DOM versions and Node 24 types. The original eight Dependabot requests were closed as superseded. All 198 tests, type checking, production build and dependency audit passed locally and in the integration CI run. Authenticated desktop and mobile preview checks passed.
