waveforward 0.1.1

Open-core local runtime for portable coding-agent session continuity.

WaveForward

WaveForward is the open-core local runtime for portable coding-agent session continuity. It captures recoverable workspace state, prepares handoff context, and runs the machine-side daemon that connects a workstation or server to a WaveForward-compatible service.

This repository is intentionally limited to code that users may run on their own machines. Hosted app code, multi-user auth, deployment automation, private release distribution, and cloud administration live outside this repository.

What Is Included

• Local workspace metadata initialization.
• Git-based snapshots of status, staged diff, unstaged diff, and small untracked files.
• Portable snapshot bundles for moving work between machines.
• Restore preview and restore application.
• Markdown handoff generation for agent continuation.
• Local agent command runners for Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode.
• A daemon client that connects a local workspace to a WaveForward service.
• Release manifest verification and update helpers.

Status

WaveForward Core is alpha software. The public API, release format, and service protocol may change before a stable release.

Install

The intended public installer path is:

curl -fsSL https://waveforward.tech/install.sh | sh

After installation, both commands are available:

waveforward --version
wf --version

After the PyPI project is configured, Python users can also install with:

python -m pip install waveforward

Local Development

Run tests:

python3 -m unittest discover -s tests

Run the CLI from a checkout:

PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m waveforward.cli --help

Format and lint:

uvx ruff format .
uvx ruff check .

Security Boundary

WaveForward may inspect local Git working trees and execute configured agent commands inside user-selected workspaces. Treat daemon tokens and .waveforward/daemon.json as sensitive local credentials. Do not commit .waveforward state, API keys, agent credentials, or release artifacts that should not be public.

Agent execution that uses automatic edit or permission-bypass modes requires an explicit local opt-in. The app-generated waveforward daemon-start command includes this opt-in for the selected workspace:

waveforward daemon-start --allow-agent-execution ...
