Week of November 2, 2026
What shipped
- First package installs on Linux, macOS and Windows now get a restricted system log in one step, with fleet settings. Pull request #1202
- The local dashboard now uses a per-launch secret and an administrator off switch. Pull request #1212
- OTLP events on macOS and Windows are now attributed to the account that sent them, matching Linux. Pull request #1211
- OTLP events on Linux are now attributed to the account that sent them instead of the collector account. Pull request #1204
- Cursor's turn-end status is now recorded on the stop event. Pull request #1196
- Beacon Intel risk and coverage fields replace the retired verdict values in lookups and artifacts. Pull request #1195
- Keys from 14 providers and platforms are now redacted even when no label sits beside them. Pull request #1192
- Browser chat answers keep up to 16 KB instead of being cut at 2 KB. Pull request #1178
- Endpoint discovery now recognizes the agy executable from the Antigravity CLI installer. Pull request #1218
- Each release now publishes.deb files to a signed apt repository so apt install beacon and apt upgrade work. Pull request #1182
Why it matters
This week tightened who can see and write telemetry on shared and fleet-managed machines, and filled in attribution gaps on macOS, Windows and Linux so events name the person who sent them. It also made the local dashboard safer by default and extended what browser chat capture keeps. Users get signed apt installs, Windows service forwarders and Beacon Intel tools in the local MCP server.

This week's Beacon changes: first package installs on Linux, macOS and Windows now set up restricted system log access in one step, with fleet settings. The local dashboard gains a per-launch secret and an administrator off switch. OTLP events are now attributed to the account that sent them on macOS and Windows, matching Linux, and Cursor's turn-end status is recorded. Key redaction now covers 14 providers and platforms without a label. Browser chat answers keep up to 16 KB. Releases publish.deb files to a signed apt repository, Vector ships in the Windows MSI, and the local MCP server carries Beacon Intel tools.

MCP server management is now accessible through CLI commands (connect, disconnect, status). The hosted forwarding product is now called Beacon Cloud.
Week of September 21, 2026
What shipped
