v0.0.3 — first multi-platform build

First release built by the cross-platform workflow. Adds darwin x64/arm64 and windows x64/arm64 alongside linux x64/arm64 (+ musl + baseline variants). Same code surface as v0.0.2 plus the C1+C4 release pipeline (PRs #13, #14, #15).

v0.0.2 — un-versioned harness cache + F7 phone-home/branding cut

v0.0.2 — Linux x64 prerelease

Second internal-testing build. Picks up two PRs since v0.0.1:

• #11 (C8) — un-versioned harness cache. Harness is now extracted to ~/.cache/bcode/harness/ (no version subdir). On every launch the binary walks the embed map and overwrites baseline files (daemon.py, admin.py, skill .md files, pyproject.toml, etc.) — except helpers.py, which is preserved if it already exists. Net effect: agent edits to helpers.py survive every binary upgrade automatically; new curated skills + daemon fixes still land on upgrade.
• #12 (F7) — phone-home and branding triage. XDG dirs ~/.config/opencode/ → ~/.config/bcode/ (and data + state); opencode.db → bcode.db; project-level .opencode/ → .bcode/ and opencode.json → bcode.json; 38 $schema URLs → bcode.sh; LLM provider attribution headers (HTTP-Referer, X-Title, X-Source, X-Cerebras-3rd-Party-Integration) → bcode.sh/bcode; MCP OAuth client_uri → bcode.sh; default system prompts rewritten to identify as BrowserCode while acknowledging OpenCode lineage; uninstall + TUI keybind + tip text. No XDG migration logic — bcode reads the new paths only. Anyone who tested v0.0.1 will see fresh state under bcode/ and the legacy opencode/ dirs are not touched.
• CRITICAL safety fix in #12. Upstream's auto-upgrade-on-launch was wired to query opencode-ai's npm/brew/scoop/choco/curl registries — on a bcode binary it would have silently replaced the binary with opencode on first launch. Disabled via BCODE_UPGRADE_DISABLED flag. Auto-upgrade is a no-op; manual bcode upgrade returns a friendly "download from GitHub Releases" error.

Install (Linux x64)

# raw binary
curl -L -o bcode https://github.com/browser-use/browsercode/releases/download/v0.0.2/bcode-linux-x64
chmod +x bcode
./bcode --version

# or tarball
curl -L -o bcode.tar.gz https://github.com/browser-use/browsercode/releases/download/v0.0.2/bcode-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar xzf bcode.tar.gz
./bcode --version

Prereqs

• Linux x64.
• uv on PATH — required for browser_execute (the harness builds its venv on first call).
• A Chromium-based browser running with remote debugging on, OR BU_CDP_WS=ws://... set explicitly. For headless on the same box: chrome-headless-shell --no-sandbox --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-prof about:blank.
• An LLM API key configured (e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, set via bcode auth login or bcode.json).

Verified

End-to-end on a fresh-state Sprite (no ~/.config/bcode/, no ~/.cache/bcode/):

• bcode --version → 0.0.2.
• First bcode run creates ~/.config/bcode/, ~/.local/share/bcode/bcode.db, ~/.cache/bcode/harness/ cleanly.
• Harness extracts (104 files), uv builds the venv, browser_execute drives headless Chrome over CDP, goto_url("https://example.com") + page_info() returns Example Domain.
• bcode upgrade <target> detects unknown install method and short-circuits to the friendly bcode error (does not install opencode).
• /doc → {title:"bcode",description:"bcode api"}. / → <title>BrowserCode</title>.

Assets

• bcode-linux-x64 — 141 MB raw ELF. sha256: 6829963e3534ef641ad3a5e1aa51fcdbde7e5858e1b30d42c83d9f64d907c7b9.
• bcode-linux-x64.tar.gz — 50 MB gzipped. sha256: 471e79bdaff750d6f48965468ddba743939aabc4080f0250056f795912ed40de.

Built from 27d1d0a09 with OPENCODE_VERSION=0.0.2 OPENCODE_CHANNEL=latest.

What's still deferred

• Other platforms (linux-arm64, darwin-x64/arm64, win32-x64). C1 ticket: GitHub Actions cross-platform builds.
• One-line installer at bcode.sh/install. C4 + A1 (domain registration). Discussion thread queued.
• bcode github subcommand wiring — points at OpenCode's GitHub App, not yet rewired. Whole feature.
• OpenCode-as-a-provider upsell dialogs — only shown if user picks OpenCode as their LLM provider. Pending product call on whether to keep OpenCode as a usable provider option.
• A6 — deny-list daemon.py/admin.py edits at the agent's edit tool layer (the un-versioned cache puts them at a stable path now).
• Phase B — FetchUse.Service (cloud-gated capability lift).

v0.0.1 — first installable Linux x64 binary

First installable BrowserCode binary. Linux x64 only. Internal testing.

What this is

A single-file ~141MB bcode executable: opencode + the embedded browser-harness. On first browser_execute call, the harness extracts to ~/.cache/bcode/harness/0.0.1/, uv builds a venv inside that dir, and python drives a Chrome over CDP.

Install

# tarball (recommended)
curl -fsSL -o bcode.tar.gz https://github.com/browser-use/browsercode/releases/download/v0.0.1/bcode-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xzf bcode.tar.gz
sudo install -m 755 bcode-linux-x64 /usr/local/bin/bcode
bcode --version

# or raw binary
curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/bcode https://github.com/browser-use/browsercode/releases/download/v0.0.1/bcode-linux-x64
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bcode

Prerequisites

• Linux x64, glibc.
• uv on PATH (curl -fsSL https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh). Required by the browser harness.
• A Chrome / Chromium with --remote-debugging-port=9222 running locally, or BU_CDP_WS=ws://... pointing at a CDP browser endpoint.

Smoke test verified on the build sprite

• bcode --version -> 0.0.1
• bcode --help shows bcode <cmd> (CLI argv0 detection adapts).
• Compiled-mode harness extraction: 104 files written to $HOME/.cache/bcode/harness/0.0.1/, atomic via .bcode-extracted marker. Idempotent on re-run.
• uv run --project <extracted_dir> builds the venv inside the cache dir.
• End-to-end browser drive: bcode run --model anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5 --dangerously-skip-permissions "... browser_execute ... goto_url(example.com) ... page_info()" returns the page title from a real headless Chrome over CDP.

Known issues (out of scope for this release; tracked for F7)

• Config / data / cache dirs still use ~/.config/opencode/, ~/.cache/opencode/, etc. (Yellow-zone branding.)
• Server OpenAPI info.title="opencode", web UI <title>OpenCode</title>.
• Background plugin install fails: NpmInstallFailedError: @opencode-ai/plugin@0.0.1 not found — opencode tries to fetch a version of its own plugin SDK matching the binary version. Non-fatal.
• Performing one time database migration runs on every --help or first invocation, regardless of subcommand.
