v1.0.3 · Better First-Run Auth Flow

Improved the auth_data.json capture UX in wait mode.

In this release, auth_fetcher.py --mode wait no longer sends an automatic probe message immediately after login or registration. The flow is now calmer and easier to understand: the user finishes logging in inside the opened ChatGPT window, waits until the chat is ready, and then manually sends any message to trigger auth capture.

Included in this release:

• removed the automatic probe message from wait mode
• wait mode auth capture now starts after a real user message in the browser
• increased the default auth capture timeout from 45 to 120 seconds
• added tests for the new wait mode flow
• updated and synced both English and Russian README files

This makes the cold-start flow much more practical: sign in or register first, then capture auth_data.json, without an unexpected automatic message being sent to the chat.

v1.0.2 - Stable v1 freeze

Stable v1 freeze for webchat-openai-cli.

This release keeps the repository focused on the end-user CLI for chatgpt.com and browser-based auth capture, while preparing future reusable transport work to move into a separate repository such as webchat-adapter.

Fixed

• runtime settings and chat history now consistently use the same selected state file
• local state persistence now uses atomic writes for webchat_state.json
• auth persistence now uses atomic writes for auth_data.json
• auth_fetcher.py cleanup is more resilient during page/browser teardown

Improved

• added explicit --probe-prompt support for auth capture
• clarified that auth_fetcher.py sends one probe message to trigger capture
• updated README.md and README.ru.md
• documented the repository as stable v1

Verification

• pytest -q passing: 13 passed

Included commits

• 6bec69e Fix state file persistence semantics
• dffdc08 Harden auth fetcher cleanup and probe flow
• 35f59bf Document stable v1 freeze

Notes

• this is a backward-compatible maintenance and stability release
• main.py still requires system curl
• auth_fetcher.py still uses browser-based auth capture
• future reusable adapter work is expected to continue outside this repository

v1.0.1 - Stability update

Stability update for webchat-openai-cli.

Fixed

• startup no longer crashes with a raw traceback when auth_data.json is missing
• .env fallback via accessToken now works even without auth_data.json
• custom state_path handling now correctly reads and writes the selected state file
• warmup/status output is now properly localized

Improved

• pinned dependency versions for more predictable installs
• added GitHub Actions CI for compile and test checks
• updated README and README.ru with clarified auth fallback behavior

Verification

• pytest -q passing
• py_compile checks passing

Notes

• this is a backward-compatible stability release
• main.py still requires system curl
• auth_fetcher.py still depends on browser-based auth capture
