Original: cordless v0.6: Going CLI-First — Run It, Scan the QR, You're Paired

Short summary

cordless v0.6 is a CLI-first tool for managing remote terminal and AI coding-agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex) from your phone. The update replaces a separate pairing command with a full-screen TUI dashboard showing a live QR code, ships as a single self-contained ~45 MB binary with no Node prerequisite, and tightens pairing security with single-use authenticated loopback-scoped tokens. Windows and Linux are supported now; macOS is pending due to a node-pty spawn quirk.

  • •CLI-first redesign: run cordless, get a TUI dashboard with live pairing QR — no separate pair command or GUI
  • •Self-contained binary via Node SEA bundles the CLI, runtime, and node-pty into one ~45 MB download with zero prerequisites
  • •Security hardened: single-use 256-bit pairing tokens over loopback-only WebSocket, five-minute TTL, rate-limited and capped

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
