Small changes. Better testing.

CLI install and update downloads were blocked in mainland China because they were served from GitHub, which is unreachable behind the Great Firewall without a VPN.

• Mirrored every CLI release to a global edge network reachable from China
• Switched all binary downloads to that mirror so every client uses one fast, China-reachable path
• Verified the latest release is reachable in-region so existing installs keep updating without interruption

Cleaner station and procedure pages make it easier to see what is deployed where and to manage deployments.

• Improved station deployment items: full-width rows with the commit shown inline and a new "Remove from station" action.
• Restyled the procedure page station list to match the deployment view for a consistent look.
• Streamlined the station setup tab with clearer framework support (TofuPilot Framework, OpenHTF, pytest, Robot Framework) and a simpler API key empty state.

The station page now shows each linked procedure's current deployment at a glance instead of a dense history timeline.

• Replaced the per-procedure deployment timeline with a single row showing the latest commit and a Pushed / Not pushed status
• Added clear empty states for stations with no linked procedures and procedures with no deployment yet

The CLI that runs, deploys, and manages your test procedures is now fully open source under the MIT license, so you can read the code, build it yourself, and contribute.

• Published the CLI at github.com/tofupilot/cli with prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Added contributor docs, an architecture guide, and a security policy
• Unified internal error handling and expanded the test suite for a cleaner, more reliable codebase

Headless runs needing manual unit identification could hang forever with no interface to answer the prompt.

• Fixed the hang, headless runs now fail fast with clear guidance
• Kept dashboard and station operators able to answer identification on upload and deployment runs

• Moved the Created At date filter to the top of the Unit filter group
• Kept the run-scoped Started At filter in the Run group for clarity

The CLI no longer waits on the network at startup when you are already logged in, so commands stay fast offline and on flaky connections.

• Throttled the background update check so a burst of commands makes one network call per window instead of one per command.
• Made whoami cache-first, showing your identity instantly and refreshing only once a day.
• Slowed the station update-check cadence to favour stability on production benches.

Iterate on a procedure in your own working directory and upload runs to the dashboard only when you choose, with no deploy step in the loop.

• Added tofupilot link to bind a working directory to a dashboard procedure, picking interactively or with --procedure for CI.
• Added --upload to tofupilot run so a linked local run syncs to the dashboard, while a plain run stays local for fast iteration.
• Added TOFUPILOT_PROCEDURE_ID to set the target in automation, and tofupilot unlink to remove a link.

Installing the CLI on a managed Windows machine could fail with an unhelpful "Access is denied" and no way to tell why.

• Fixed the Windows installer to pinpoint the cause when a blocked launch occurs, with clear next steps and a working alternate install location.
• Added a saved install log and step-by-step status so failures are easy to share and resolve.

Refined how you connect AI agents to your test data with MCP.

• Simplified the authorization screen with a clear read or read-and-write choice per connection
• Spelled out exactly what a client can access, including that write includes permanent deletes
• Surfaced MCP in the sidebar so it's easier to find and connect a client
