The "vitrine" release — Code Buddy made presentable to the world, every capability proven in real at $0.

Highlights

  • Free local path fixed — CODEBUDDY_PROVIDER=ollama now really runs on an installed model (no more 404 grok-code-fast-1); latest Qwen 3.8 works locally (strict chat templates supported).
  • 2-minute onboarding, zero env vars — buddy onboard detects what you have and defaults to the free path, writes the config for you, and ends on a green buddy try; buddy doctor --fix repairs the rest. English by default.
  • App Studio (bolt.new, built in) — describe an app → real npm install/build → live preview, a capped auto-fix loop, and one-click Push to GitHub. Powered by the integrated open-design system (150 brand styles) + image/video generation. $0, offline, no token-burn.
  • Self-improvement you can watch — the Darwin-Gödel loop where the agent authors its own tools behind a held-out anti-gaming gate, never touching its own src/.
  • Green CI, honestly — reactivated the disabled workflow; matrix on Node 20/22 LTS; critical tar advisory fixed with a minimal lockfile diff; CI-fragile tests hardened without hiding coverage.
  • Repo credibility — dynamic badges (no more painted counts), Code of Conduct, clean FUNDING/SECURITY, restructured README (Quick Start first).

Verify it yourself

Every headline is reproducible at $0 — see docs/proof.md, or just run buddy try.
