v1.0.8

GABS 1.0.8 makes Steam games easier to use with game bridges.

• Added managed Steam launch for Steam games. GABS can start Steam when needed and launch the installed game with the bridge environment in place.
• Added doctor and repair commands to check game configs and upgrade older Steam App ID setups.
• Updated the setup docs and examples so new users have a simpler path.

v1.0.7

GABS 1.0.7 is a release-readiness polish update.

• Failed games_connect attempts now release their temporary runtime ownership claim instead of blocking another GABS session.
• The bridge startup docs and examples now describe the live environment contract more clearly.
• Diagnostic/read-only tool tags are documented as the preferred way for bridges to keep recovery tools available while attention is open.

GABS v1.0.6

GABS 1.0.6 improves bridge recovery and keeps the public docs more generic.

• games_status no longer opens a raw TCP probe before games_connect, so simple accept-once GABP bridges are not consumed by diagnostics.
• Bridge-state diagnostics now use passive listener evidence when available and explain stale or unverified bridge files with clearer next actions.
• Attention-gate recovery now relies on generic diagnostic and read-only tool tags instead of bridge-specific tool names.
• Public docs and examples now use neutral game-side bridge wording and example names.
• Regression coverage was expanded for reconnects, status diagnostics, generic public surfaces, and strict-safe tool discovery.

GABS v1.0.5

GABS 1.0.5 improves slow-start and discovery behavior for AI-controlled game sessions.

• games_start can wait longer for slow mod-heavy GABP bridges.
• games_tool_names no longer briefly reports zero tools right after a successful connection.
• Attention gating now lets diagnostic and lifecycle observation tools through for recovery.
• Startup retry logging is quieter.

v1.0.4

Changes

• Kept the public MCP tools/list response stable and core-only. Mirrored game tools are now discovered through games_tool_names, inspected with games_tool_detail, and called through games_call_tool.
• Serialized stdio frame writes and writes LSP frames in one syscall, preventing concurrent responses and notifications from corrupting MCP frames. Fixes #65.
• Added MCP initialize instructions and structured next-step hints on the main game-management tools.
• Added a gabs-mcp Codex skill with the recommended game-development workflow.

Notes

• Direct mirrored tool handlers can still be called when the name is already known, but agents should prefer the stable discovery and call tools above.
• The stale local pr-61 worktree/branch was removed after its useful stable-tool-list idea was adapted.

v1.0.3

Changes

• Expose mirrored game tools with MCP-safe public names by default, for example rimworld_rimbridge_core_ping.
• Keep slash-delimited GABP names as the canonical names sent to the game, for example rimbridge/core/ping.
• Keep existing dotted MCP names as aliases for compatibility.
• Resolve MCP-safe names from tool descriptors instead of guessing underscore delimiters.
• Allow direct tool calls while mirrored tool registration finishes in the background.

Clients should prefer the names returned by tools/list.
