  All notable changes to `openvibe-sdk`. The package follows semver; while it is `0.x`, a minor
  release may change an API and says so here.
  
++## 0.60.0 (2026-10-20)
++
++- **`openvibe-sdk/host`** and **`openvibe-sdk/news`**: the public reads of the last two products without a module.
++  Host: the hosting catalog (providers, plans, promos, community offers, domain endings with registrar prices, a
++  name's availability, YABS benchmarks), with Host's own filters (any other key is refused). News: topics and the
++  published and retracted stories with their sources, timeline and perspectives. Both are sent without a token;
++  editing stays with each site's editors.
++
  ## 0.59.0 (2026-10-20)
  
  - **`openvibe-sdk/space`** (`createSpaceClient`): OpenVibe.Space for apps and CI, public in openvibe-contracts 0.209.0.

  > Supported browser and server clients for the OpenVibe platform.
  
--**Status:** alpha, v0.59.0 (roadmap Wave 2; developer apps from Wave 20; Media objects v2 from Wave 4; the Tools platform API; Search, Chat and AI clients from WS-F task 4; per-actor limits from WS-R task 4). Every release is tagged (see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)). Tested against local stub servers and the built-in mock platform only, never against the live platform. Services pin release tags; each repository's `STATUS.json` names the one it uses.

Every release is tagged (see [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)). Tested against local stub servers and the built-in mock platform only, never against the live platform. Services pin release tags; each repository's `STATUS.json` names the one it uses.
  **Plan:** OpenVibe End-to-End Realignment & Implementation Plan, revision 3 (20 Sep 2026), §3.2; roadmap §30.  
  **License:** MIT ([LICENSE](LICENSE)). This package is a library that apps outside the network embed, so it uses MIT. The OpenVibe services themselves stay AGPL-3.0.
  
  **If a capability is not in the SDK, it is not public.** Apps call services through `openvibe-sdk` and never build internal routes themselves. A route with no SDK wrapper is internal, even when you can reach it, and it can change without notice. To make a capability public, first define it in OpenVibe.Contracts, then wrap it here.
  
  ```bash
--npm install https://codeload.github.com/OpenVibers/OpenVibe.SDK/tar.gz/refs/tags/v0.59.0
++npm install https://codeload.github.com/OpenVibers/OpenVibe.SDK/tar.gz/refs/tags/v0.60.0
  ```
  
  It has no runtime dependencies. It needs Node ≥ 20, or any browser with `fetch`, Web Crypto and `TextDecoder`. There is no build step. The package is CommonJS with ESM entry points (`import` works). Each subpath has its own `.d.ts`. For a page with no bundler, `browser/openvibe-sdk.mjs` is one self-contained ES module of the browser-safe subpaths (see [Browser without a bundler](#browser-without-a-bundler)). It does not depend on `openvibe-contracts` at runtime: it copies the contract types it uses (from Contracts v0.86.0, a devDependency the tests check them against).

  - **Media:** the v1 files API, the object API v2 (`createObjectsClient`) and the public URL helpers are wrapped. Retention holds on v2 objects are not (app keys only). VOD, clip, thumbnail and admin-storage routes are not wrapped because apps reach them only through Live and Media's own servers. Media's own paste API is not wrapped because pastes moved to Community (ADR-011). The mock platform (`openvibe-sdk/testing`) models Media's v1 files only, not v2 objects.
  - **Media from the browser:** Media refuses user JWTs on `/api/v1/:app/files`, so a browser uploads through its own app server. That server holds the app key and names the user with `actingUserId`.
  - **Network coins, notifications and legacy-map writes** are internal service-to-service routes with no public capability, so they are not wrapped. Staff-only paste routes are also internal: admin stats, bulk, censor and the AI pass.
--- **Billing and Games** from the original charter come when those services publish their capabilities in Contracts (Live has its module since v0.52.0). Products whose capabilities are all first-party (News, Watch, Codes, Host and others) have no module yet: there is nothing an outside app may call. Blog opened its posts to apps (openvibe-contracts 0.206.0, `openvibe-sdk/blog`), then Reviews and the Wiki their reads (0.207.0), then Coupons, Deals and Trade what a person does for themselves (0.208.0), then Space its sites (0.209.0). News' published stories need no capability, but its editorial reads stay first-party. Chat is wrapped over REST as the token's person (`openvibe-sdk/chat`, v0.11.0), but it has no app principal (`chat.message.send` is `first-party`) and the mock platform has no Chat.
++- **Billing and Games** from the original charter come when those services publish their capabilities in Contracts (Live has its module since v0.52.0). Codes' tasks (they run code on a person's own machine) stay first-party, and OpenVibe.Watch is not built yet; Host and News have modules for their public reads, while editing stays first-party.

  - **Tools** are not wrapped one by one: `openvibe-sdk/tools` runs any tool with `api: true` by id, and its descriptor (`tools.get(id)`) gives the input schema, files and limits. `openvibe-sdk/jobs` still submits any job `type` directly. The YouTube downloader is page-only (`api: false`), so it is not in the SDK.
  - **Realtime over WebSocket and presence** don't exist in Events yet (ADR-005). SSE is the only transport.
  - **Bot:** the REST robots, public kits/profiles and pairing routes are wrapped (`openvibe-sdk/bot`). The operator WebSocket (`/control`, Realtime frames `bot.command@1`), device bootstrap (`POST /devices/bind`, a Network node token) and the internal Run→Bot job dispatch (`bot.job.dispatch`, service-to-service and never delegated to people or apps) are not.
