waveforward 0.1.4

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 API keys, agent credentials, local daemon state, or release artifacts that should not be public.

Agent execution may use automatic edit or permission-bypass modes depending on the selected agent. The app-generated waveforward daemon-start command includes an explicit local acknowledgement for the selected workspace. Pass --workspace more than once to expose multiple workspaces from the same user-level daemon:

waveforward daemon-start --workspace /path/to/project --allow-agent-execution ...
