What's Changed since beta.5

🚀 Features

• Secrets management — AWS Secrets Manager + exec:// provider (#1042)
  • aws-sm:// URI for native AWS Secrets Manager resolution
  • exec:// URI for universal external script support
  • Fail-closed: unresolved secrets prevent startup
  • Integrated into boot sequence (after pre_boot hooks)
  • Comprehensive docs, ADR, and config-reference updates

📦 CLI Version Bumps (#1039)

Full Changelog: openab-0.8.5-beta.5...openab-0.8.5-beta.6

What's New in 0.8.5-beta.5

Features

• Control Directives Phase 1 — [[ws:@alias]] and [[title:...]] directives in the first message of a session (#1029)
  • [[ws:@alias]] switches the agent working directory to a configured workspace alias
  • [[title:...]] renames the Discord thread
  • Directives parsed on first message only; ignored when session already active
  • Workspace paths validated against bot home subtree (symlink escape prevention)

Config

New [workspace] section for defining workspace aliases:

[workspace.aliases]
openab = "/home/agent/projects/openab"
infra = "/home/agent/projects/infra"

Fixes

• openab-agent — use static model lists for /models command (removes broken runtime discovery) (#1033)
• pool — stored workspace takes priority over override (immutability); has_active_session covers suspended/persisted sessions
• directives — [[title:xxx]] applies before workspace failure abort; minimize TOCTOU window on failure path

Docs

• Add [workspace] section to config-reference.md
• New user guides: control-directives.md and workspaces.md

Full Changelog: openab-0.8.5-beta.4...openab-0.8.5-beta.5

What's New in 0.8.5-beta.4

Features

• LINE @mention gating — native mention detection via LINE webhook mentionees, no regex needed (#1026)
• openab-agent /models support — configOptions enables runtime model switching with session history preservation (#977)
• agy-acp narration filter — OPENAB_TOOL_DISPLAY=compact suppresses intermediate thinking text from agy (Gemini CLI) responses (#1030)
• Control Directives ADR — design for typed slash commands and workspace aliases (#978)

Fixes

• Teams webhook — bound body size to prevent OOM on large payloads (#948)
• Telegram — retry sendMessage as plain text on Markdown parse failure; scope retry to parse errors only (#957)
• openab-agent — replace unsafe set_var with safe config store; pass model to provider on rebuild + atomic session swap (#977)
• openab-agent — stabilize model switching options; serialize env-mutating ACP tests
• Gateway — available_models() queries APIs instead of credential sniffing
• CI workflow — flip to pending-contributor when CI fails (#1028)

Docs

• Add ecsctl deployment option to ECS Fargate Spot refarch (#1023)
• Comment out optional command and working_dir in README (#1021)

OCI Registry

What's Changed (since beta.1)

⭐ Features

• [agent] block is now optional — command defaults to $OPENAB_AGENT_COMMAND env var, working_dir defaults to $HOME. Each Dockerfile sets these so gist/helm configs no longer need to hardcode them. (#1013)
• OPENAB_AGENT_AUTH_COMMAND — every image now declares its auth command. Authenticate any agent with a single generic command:

  kubectl exec -it deployment/openab-<name> -- sh -c "\$OPENAB_AGENT_AUTH_COMMAND"

• Helm: configUrl — skip ConfigMap generation and fetch config from a remote URL (e.g., gist). (#1009)
• Helm: hooks rendering — hooks.preBoot and hooks.preShutdown can now be rendered directly in the ConfigMap with SHA256 validation. (#1010)

🐛 Fixes

• openab-agent: default OpenAI model changed to gpt-5.4-mini (#999)
• Helm: configUrl mode correctly passes openab in args to match ENTRYPOINT
• Helm: hooks validation — mutual exclusion, onFailure enum, timeoutSeconds type check

📖 Docs

• Python guide for uv-based execution in OAB images (#1004)
• Config reference updated — [agent] section documented as optional
• All agent docs updated with $OPENAB_AGENT_AUTH_COMMAND pattern

Env vars set by each image
