# Release Notes - v1.0.0-beta
**Release Date:** October 27, 2025
**Status:** Beta Release - Initial Public Release
---
## 🎉 Initial Public Release
Claude Code Bridge is a secure, production-lean MCP server that enables two Claude Code CLI sessions to communicate and collaborate on complex tasks without sharing workspaces or credentials.
### ✨ Key Features
**Secure Multi-Agent Coordination:**
- HMAC-SHA256 session token authentication
- Automatic secret redaction (API keys, passwords, tokens)
- Atomic messaging with SQLite WAL mode
- 3-hour conversation expiration
- Comprehensive audit trail
**YOLO Mode with 4-Stage Safeguards:**
- Environment variable gate (`YOLO_MODE=1`)
- Interactive confirmation with typed phrase
- One-time random code validation
- Time-limited approval tokens (5-minute TTL)
- Single-use tokens with audit logging
- Dry-run mode by default
**Rate Limiting:**
- 10 requests per minute
- 100 requests per hour
- 500 requests per day
- Per-session tracking with automatic reset
**Production-Ready Architecture:**
- Message bridge only (no auto-execution)
- Schema validation for all MCP tools
- Command validation with whitelist/blacklist
- Comprehensive error handling
- Extensible design for future features
---

## 🛡️ Security Highlights
### Defense-in-Depth Approach
1. **Environment Gate:** Requires explicit YOLO_MODE=1
2. **User Confirmation:** Typed phrase validation
3. **Random Code:** One-time code prevents automation
4. **Approval Tokens:** Time-limited, single-use tokens
5. **Rate Limiting:** Prevents abuse across multiple time windows
6. **Audit Logging:** Complete trail of all operations
### Policy Compliance
- ✅ Anthropic Acceptable Use Policy
- ✅ Anthropic Responsible Scaling Policy
- ✅ OpenAI Usage Policies (if adapted)
- ✅ Transparent risk disclosure

## ⚠️ Important Warnings
### Beta Status
This is a **beta release** suitable for:
- Development and testing environments
- Isolated workspaces
- Human-supervised operations
**Not recommended for:**
- Production systems without additional safeguards
- Unattended automation
- Critical infrastructure
### YOLO Mode
Command execution is **disabled by default** and requires:
- Explicit environment variable (`YOLO_MODE=1`)
- Multi-stage user confirmation
- Approval tokens for each execution
- Human supervision at all times
See [YOLO_MODE.md](YOLO_MODE.md) and [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for complete safety guidelines.
