War Room v0.16.0: One-click multiplayer hosting

War Room is a local-first, self-hostable team cockpit for working alongside AI agents. This release adds multiplayer in one click. Any teammate's desktop can host the sync server for the whole team, with four hosting modes covering everything from "share a link in Slack right now" to "permanent URL on my own VPS."

Highlights

  • Multiplayer hosting from any machine. Settings, Sync, "Host this workspace from this machine." Four modes:
    • Cloudflare Quick Tunnel. No account, instant, URL rotates on restart.
    • Cloudflare Named Tunnel. Free Cloudflare account plus a domain. Stable URL.
    • Tailscale. Private network. Free up to 3 teammates including you.
    • Manual VPS. Your own server. The v0.15.0 path, still there.
  • Cloudflared lazy-fetch. No installer size growth. Binary downloaded on first hosting activation, SHA256 verified, cached.
  • Smart-paste invite parser. Paste a quoted invite block straight from Slack into the join form. URL, workspace, and token get split out automatically.
  • Persistent host state. Hosting auto-resumes on launch. Tokens stored via OS keychain (Electron safeStorage on macOS and Windows, libsecret on Linux).
  • URL-changed re-share banner. Quick Tunnel URLs rotate on restart. The app catches it and gives you a one-click "copy new invite" path so the change is a feature, not a silent failure.

What's also in this release

Public history skipped v0.14.0 and v0.15.0 tags during the upstream cleanup that produced this release. Their contents are included here. See CHANGELOG.md for per-version details.

  • v0.14.0. Dropped the primary-agent auto-prefix. Every agent renders as its built-in vendor name (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, etc).
  • v0.15.0. Team-scale workspace structure sync over the existing WebSocket bus. Channels, servers, groups, sidebar roles, and agent profiles all travel. PROTOCOL_VERSION bumped 1 to 2.

Download

  • Windows installer: war-room-setup-0.16.0.exe attached below. One-click install, native window, system tray, no terminal.
  • Run from source: git clone, npm install, npm start. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux.

Docs

  • docs/sync-hosting.md walks through every hosting mode with a comparison table.
  • SYNC.md keeps the older VPS instructions for the manual-URL audience.
  • CHANGELOG.md has full release notes per version.

Known issues

  • macOS support for the Cloudflare modes is incomplete in v0.16.0. The published cloudflared binary is a .tgz and the extractor isn't wired yet. macOS users should use Tailscale or Manual VPS for now. Patch coming in v0.16.1.
  • Cloudflared SHA256 checksums are placeholders in this release. The fetcher refuses to run until they're filled in. Intentional safety gate, not a bug.
