lobu: 9.0.0

9.0.0 (2026-05-21)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• server: the local lobu run / test database engine is now a real embedded PostgreSQL instead of PGlite. Existing ~/.lobu PGlite data dirs are not migrated — a fresh embedded PG cluster is created. Production (external Postgres via DATABASE_URL) is unchanged.

Features

• cli: flatten Lobu context config (#955) (50dd706)
• cli: lobu call — generic dispatcher over admin REST tools (#938) (17f0da9)
• cli: ship the owletto web UI bundle in lobu run (#985) (2439747)
• connectors: user-declared connector dependencies (npm bundled + nix native) (#973) (ac2ddbd)
• landing: dev-focused rebuild — pinned examples, animated architecture, real cast (#945) (8695c57)
• landing: per-use-case snippet tabs, connector logo wall, drop asciinema, simplify nav (#988) (ca889c6)
• local review tool (make review) — shadow-mode multi-axis verdict (#942) (dfb4958)
• server: generalize list_runs for connection/device/feed run tables (#963) (68cefde)
• server: PGlite-mode parity with Postgres for Agent API (#940) (cb2a6f1)
• server: replace PGlite with embedded Postgres; bundle pgvector; earthdistance geo (#965) (7793c56)

Bug Fixes

• auth: unwedge PGlite sign-up by routing single-user guard through the transaction adapter (#952) (521e6f7)
• ci: expose ClawHub token flag to login step (03160db), closes #953
• cli/server: zero-to-chat local-dev flow works without --org or browser sign-in (#944) (e6f201b)
• gateway: surface worker failures to chat clients as terminal errors (#946) (#971) (c8553c1)
• getting-started reliability (openrouter model routing + run auto-apply) (#987) (86b3f17)
• prevent prod data wipe — non-destructive baseline down + test-DB guard (#989) (df38fbf)
• providers: reliable routing for all config-driven LLM providers (#992) (ada2219)
• remove redundant getDb dynamic imports and fix $member entity FK violation (#957 #956) (#959) (9e61edd)
• server: apply takes effect without lobu run restart (#993) (3012104)
• start-local: close 7 PGlite/Postgres parity-hygiene risks (#943) (e80f0c2)
• test: tolerate non-owner of schema public in setupTestDatabase (#961) (1600bc4)

Manifests tidy, versions all done,
Charts aligned and changelog bright,
Packages ready for the night,
Carrots packed — release in sight!
