## Description

ByteRover CLI (brv) - The portable memory layer for  autonomous coding agents (formerly Cipher)

## Recent releases

| Version | Date | Urgency | Changes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `v3.16.1` | 2026-05-27 | High | ByteRover CLI 3.16.1 is a small patch release with one fix: a valid login is no longer misread at startup, so a signed-in session stays signed in across restarts. No more being bounced to the provider picker or asked to run `brv login` again on every launch. Safe to upgrade, with no behavior change and nothing to reconfigure.  ## What's Changed  ### 🐛 Fixed  * **Stay signed in across restarts.** A valid login could be misread when the CLI started up, which dropped you into the provider pi |
| `v3.16.0` | 2026-05-25 | High | ByteRover CLI 3.16.0 lets you cancel long-running tasks from anywhere and gives you a switch to turn off update prompts. It also fixes a setup error that blocked custom models on several third-party AI providers, and refreshes dependencies to clear security advisories. Safe to upgrade, with no behavior change unless you opt in.  ## What's Changed  ### ✨ Added  * **Cancel a running task from anywhere.** `brv curate`, `brv query`, and `brv dream` now accept `--cancel <taskId>`, so you can st |
| `v3.15.0` | 2026-05-20 | High | ByteRover CLI 3.15.0 introduces user-configurable settings via the new `brv settings` command, so you can tune things like agent pool size, concurrent tasks per project, and the LLM iteration budget without editing source or rebuilding. The `brv webui` Configuration page is reorganized into three sections (General, Connectors, Version Control) to make room for the new controls, folder metadata now renders in the Contexts detail panel, and the `--timeout` flag is deprecated in favor of `llm.itera |
| `v3.13.0` | 2026-05-14 | High | ByteRover CLI 3.13.0 reworks the billing experience: your remaining ByteRover credits now show in the REPL and web headers, and connecting a provider lets you pick which billing team to charge per project. When you do run out of credits, the CLI points you straight at the top-up page instead of failing with a generic error. The release also dedupes duplicate models from OpenAI-compatible upstreams, simplifies the OpenClaw installer, and fixes a collision in shared `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` rules |
| `v3.12.0` | 2026-05-09 | High | ByteRover CLI 3.12.0 turns the Tasks page in `brv webui` into a per-project history. Every curate, query, and review you run is now saved across daemon restarts, with filters, pagination, bulk delete, and provider/model attribution. The release also fixes a sync regression that caused `brv push` to ship dangling `related:` references, and tidies up frontmatter so synthesized files render properly in the dashboard.  ## What's Changed  ### ✨ Added  * **Tasks history in `brv webui`.** Past cu |
| `v3.10.3` | 2026-05-05 | High | This release makes daemon-version mismatches visible. After you upgrade `brv`, the background daemon can keep running on the older version with no obvious way to tell. The REPL header and MCP tool replies now flag the drift so you know to run `brv restart`.  ## What's Changed  ### 🐛 Fixed  * **No more silent daemon-version mismatches.** After upgrading `brv`, the background daemon could keep running on the older version and you'd have no way to tell, leading to confusing "why doesn't this |
| `v3.10.1` | 2026-04-30 | High | This release cuts the wait at the end of `brv curate`, adds a per-project switch to opt out of human-in-the-loop reviews, and tightens up two error paths: `brv vc status` / `pull` now name the files in the way, and OpenAI-compatible provider setup catches bad URLs before they break the REPL.  ## What's Changed  ### ✨ Added  * **`brv review --disable` / `--enable`, per project.** Opt a project out of the human-in-the-loop review prompts and backup writes, or turn them back on. Run `brv revi |
| `v3.10.0` | 2026-04-28 | High | This release adds **OpenClaude as a connectable agent**, polishes the **`brv login` browser flow**, and fixes a handful of reliability and billing rough edges, including a cold-start hang, a `brv restart` glitch under nested shell wrappers, and over-counting on multi-folder `brv curate` runs.  ## What's Changed  ### ✨ Added  * **Connect OpenClaude as an agent.** Run `brv connectors install "OpenClaude"`, or pick it from `/connectors` in the REPL. By @DatPham-6996 in #548  ### 🔄 Changed |
| `v3.8.3` | 2026-04-23 | High | A small quality-of-life release. `brv login` now opens your browser by default, the provider picker tells you what each provider does, and `brv webui` works correctly when `brv` is installed under a hidden folder like `~/.nvm` or `~/.asdf`.  ## 🌟 Highlights  ### 🔐 Browser sign-in by default  Just run `brv login` and sign in in your browser. On CI or a remote shell, use `brv login --api-key <key>` instead. SSH and non-interactive shells are detected automatically and skip the browser, so |
| `v3.8.2` | 2026-04-22 | High | This release fixes a styling bug in `brv webui`. If you upgraded to v3.8.0 or v3.8.1 and the web UI looked broken, this release makes it look right again.  ## 🌟 Highlights  ### 🎨 Web UI styles now render correctly from the installed CLI  After installing with `curl -fsSL https://byterover.dev/install.sh \| sh`, opening `brv webui` showed dialogs and side sheets unstyled: no backdrop, wrong position, missing borders. Still usable, but clearly broken.  v3.8.2 fixes this. The web UI now lo |
