v2.0.0-rc.1

THSV StreamBridge 2.0.0-rc.1

THSV StreamBridge 2.0.0-rc.1 is the public Windows release candidate for the revised v2 core and add-on platform. It is intended for creator acceptance testing before the stable 2.0.0 release.

Included

• A self-contained Windows x64 archive with pinned Node.js runtime and no global Node.js, npm, Docker, database, or administrator requirement.
• A state-preserving installer, replacement-start handling, upgrade rollback, conservative uninstall, and authenticated local setup wizard.
• Unified Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and TikFinity relay intake through one Streamer.bot WebSocket connection.
• Configurable Chat and Alerts browser sources, commands, timed actions, rewards, diagnostics, backups, and approval-gated add-ons.
• Durable at-least-once Streamer.bot delivery with restart replay, bounded retry, ordered lanes, and dead letters.
• SHA-256 archive checksum, CycloneDX SBOM, and GitHub artifact attestations from the release workflow.

RC safety boundaries

• Do not use TikFinity financial or progression events for production statistics or irreversible actions until provider-stable event identity and simulator provenance are verified live.
• Kick reward mutations remain disabled because Streamer.bot does not document them.
• High-impact events without a provider-stable source ID are rejected instead of being assigned a synthetic replay-unsafe identity.
• This is an unsigned portable ZIP. Verify both its adjacent SHA-256 file and GitHub artifact attestation before installation.

Acceptance evidence

Validated on Windows on July 19, 2026 from the RC source:

• 62 test files / 406 tests passed with clean lint, typecheck, build, configuration validation, and zero production dependency audit findings.
• All 6 Playwright checks passed for wizard add-ons, command/timed-message configuration, platform-specific events and colors, safe import/export, 1920 x 1080 chat, cropped chat, alert storms, and reconnects.
• Windows replacement-start, custom-port shutdown, stale-build detection, and active-configuration shutdown passed.
• The exact locally built archive passed SHA-256 verification, extraction, bundled-runtime installation without global Node.js, BOM-saved configuration startup, health, shutdown, same-version repair, creator-data preservation, and public CMD uninstall.
• The tag workflow independently rebuilds the archive from the tagged commit and publishes its checksum, SBOM, and provenance attestations. Verify those published assets before installing.

Install

Download THSV-StreamBridge-2.0.0-rc.1-windows-x64.zip and its .sha256 file from the official release, verify them using RELEASE-VERIFICATION.md, extract the archive, and run Install THSV StreamBridge.cmd.

Normal upgrades preserve creator configuration, secrets, uploads, logs, backups, add-on packages, and add-on state. Default uninstall also preserves creator-owned data.
