# Release Notes - v1.0.0-beta

**Release Date:** October 27, 2025
**Status:** Beta Release - Initial Public Release

---

## 🎉 Initial Public Release

Claude Code Bridge is a secure, production-lean MCP server that enables two Claude Code CLI sessions to communicate and collaborate on complex tasks without sharing workspaces or credentials.

### ✨ Key Features

**Secure Multi-Agent Coordination:**
- HMAC-SHA256 session token authentication
- Automatic secret redaction (API keys, passwords, tokens)
- Atomic messaging with SQLite WAL mode
- 3-hour conversation expiration
- Comprehensive audit trail

**YOLO Mode with 4-Stage Safeguards:**
- Environment variable gate (`YOLO_MODE=1`)
- Interactive confirmation with typed phrase
- One-time random code validation
- Time-limited approval tokens (5-minute TTL)
- Single-use tokens with audit logging
- Dry-run mode by default

**Rate Limiting:**
- 10 requests per minute
- 100 requests per hour
- 500 requests per day
- Per-session tracking with automatic reset

**Production-Ready Architecture:**
- Message bridge only (no auto-execution)
- Schema validation for all MCP tools
- Command validation with whitelist/blacklist
- Comprehensive error handling
- Extensible design for future features

---

- **SECURITY.md** - Responsible disclosure policy & threat model
- **CONTRIBUTING.md** - Contribution guidelines
- **QUICKSTART.md** - 5-minute getting started guide
- **EXAMPLE_WORKFLOW.md** - Real-world collaboration scenarios
- **YOLO_MODE.md** - Command execution safety guide

### Governance
- **LICENSE** - MIT License
- **`.gitignore`** - Comprehensive secret prevention
- **`requirements.txt`** - Pinned dependencies

## 🛡️ Security Highlights

### Defense-in-Depth Approach
1. **Environment Gate:** Requires explicit YOLO_MODE=1
2. **User Confirmation:** Typed phrase validation
3. **Random Code:** One-time code prevents automation
4. **Approval Tokens:** Time-limited, single-use tokens
5. **Rate Limiting:** Prevents abuse across multiple time windows
6. **Audit Logging:** Complete trail of all operations

### Policy Compliance
- ✅ Anthropic Acceptable Use Policy
- ✅ Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
- ✅ OpenAI Usage Policies (if adapted)
- ✅ Transparent risk disclosure

## 🚀 Getting Started

### 1. Installation

```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/mcp-multiagent-bridge.git
cd mcp-multiagent-bridge

# Install dependencies
pip install mcp>=1.0.0

# Make executable
chmod +x agent_bridge_secure.py
```

### 2. Configure MCP Server

Add to `~/.claude.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bridge": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/agent_bridge_secure.py"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Start Collaborating

See [QUICKSTART.md](QUICKSTART.md) for a complete walkthrough.

## ⚠️ Important Warnings

### Beta Status
This is a **beta release** suitable for:
- Development and testing environments
- Isolated workspaces
- Human-supervised operations

**Not recommended for:**
- Production systems without additional safeguards
- Unattended automation
- Critical infrastructure

### YOLO Mode
Command execution is **disabled by default** and requires:
- Explicit environment variable (`YOLO_MODE=1`)
- Multi-stage user confirmation
- Approval tokens for each execution
- Human supervision at all times

See [YOLO_MODE.md](YOLO_MODE.md) and [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for complete safety guidelines.
