0.1.0 - 2026-11-15

First release: warm boat.dev sandbox pools for any Git project.

cheers syncs the working tree as a thin Git pack (HEAD only by default), runs one command with live output and its real exit code (125 when boatparty itself failed), and applies the command’s file changes back; large packs and patches travel by signed URL.
launch, load, board (a shell or one command, with your Git identity, an optional GitHub token and [run.env]), pipe (a command fed standard input that is never recorded), fetch, dock, status, rm.
cruise runs a server until cancelled, with port forwards and a ready port; forward holds a local forward and reconnects when its connection drops; expose publishes a gated public URL (--hide takes it down).
Per-project pools with workspace affinity, one start ledger for the account, idle stop after idle_minutes, and every limit in ~/.config/boatparty/account.toml (limits, limits set, pool, pool prune, release, assign).
boatparty.toml with presets for Rust, Node, pnpm, Bun, Python and Go; setup and ensure steps; [sandbox] remote_path for the checkout’s location.
Base snapshots (base build|status|rm) so new sandboxes start with dependencies built; rebuilds replace the base only once the new save is ready.
GitHub seeding: a sandbox fetches pushed commits from GitHub itself on its first sync and after large pulls; BOATPARTY_GITHUB_TOKEN or BOATPARTY_GITHUB_TOKEN_COMMAND can supply a narrower token than the gh login.
Self-repair: sandboxes whose file restore stalls are replaced, build caches a restore left unreadable are dropped, and member repositories are pruned daily.
--json on every command (docs/json.md), doctor, log, and boatparty skill for coding agents.
Install with gh release download -R amxv/boatparty -p install.sh -O - | bash (macOS and Linux, arm64 and x86_64).
