3.8.5-betaSep 18, 2026current

If Empryo signed you out of every provider after the last update, this release brings them back. Nothing was deleted. Empryo stopped reading part of your keychain, and now it reads all of it again.

Fixed
  • Sign-ins and API keys are back on Linux and macOS. Since 3.8.3, Empryo read the OS keychain in one pass and dropped credentials when that pass came back incomplete. On Ubuntu and Arch the pass missed most keys. On a slow Mac keychain it missed all of them. Your OAuth sign-ins and keys were in the keychain the whole time. Update, and they show up again. Nothing to re-enter.
  • A locked keyring says so. When your Linux keyring is locked, Empryo tells you how many credentials are waiting behind it instead of showing every provider as signed out.
  • A slow keychain no longer signs you out. If the keychain takes too long to answer, Empryo asks for each key on its own, once, and keeps the ones it gets.
  • Turning YOLO mode on or off takes effect right away. The change used to wait for a restart. It now reaches every permission gate, including scripted shell and computer-use, in the same session.
  • Chrome sees your installed extension. The setup page reported the extension as missing when you had loaded it unpacked. It now finds it, tells a disabled extension from a live one, and repairs the connection after an upgrade on its own.
  • `/computer extension` and `/computer setup` work. Both commands answered "Unknown subcommand". They now install the extension and check the setup.
  • The cursor marker stays put. During computer use, the marker no longer vanishes after five seconds, survives page navigation, and dims while the model thinks. Chrome's own debugging bar is no longer doubled.
  • Windows: the Start menu shortcut opens. The console flashed and closed because the shortcut started in a folder Empryo cannot write to. It now starts in your user profile.
  • Empryo starts from a read-only folder. Launching from a folder you cannot write to (a mounted drive, a system directory) no longer fails on startup. Empryo keeps its state in your user data folder instead.
Security
  • YOLO in an untrusted repo's project config is ignored. A repo you have not trusted cannot switch off your permission prompts through its own .empryo settings.
