ReleasePort's take
Light signalByteRover v3.13.0 CLI now displays remaining credits, adds a per-project billing team picker, and shows a top-up link when out of credits.
Why it matters: Test the new credit display and top-up flow in dev before production deployment; plan to adopt the billing team picker for multi-team accounts.

Full changelog
ByteRover CLI 3.13.0 reworks the billing experience: your remaining ByteRover credits now show in the REPL and web headers, and connecting a provider lets you pick which billing team to charge per project. When you do run out of credits, the CLI points you straight at the top-up page instead of failing with a generic error. The release also dedupes duplicate models from OpenAI-compatible upstreams, simplifies the OpenClaw installer, and fixes a collision in shared AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md rules connectors that affected projects with multiple agents installed.
What's Changed
✨ Added
- ByteRover credits in the header and a per-project billing team picker. The REPL and web headers now show your remaining ByteRover credits, and
brv providers connectlets you pick which billing team to charge for a given project. The choice is remembered until you change it, and you can override the billing endpoint withBRV_BILLING_BASE_URL. By @ncnthien in #653 - Clear "out of credits" message with a top-up link. When a request fails because your ByteRover credits run out, the CLI now shows a direct top-up URL instead of a generic failure. By @ncnthien in #653
🚀 Changed
- Duplicate models filtered from OpenAI-compatible providers. Some upstream endpoints (e.g. NVIDIA NIM) return the same model under multiple aliases.
brv providers connectnow dedupes by model ID so the picker shows clean rows. By @ncnthien in #652 - Simpler OpenClaw installer.
scripts/openclaw-setup.shnow auto-installs thebrvCLI if it is missing, installs the skill vianpx clawhub@latest, and points to "connect a provider" as the post-install next step. The Daily Knowledge Mining cron and the onboarding plugin scaffold were removed. By @cuongdo-byterover in #635
🐛 Fixed
- Shared rules connectors no longer collide. When several agents share a single
AGENTS.mdorCLAUDE.md(e.g. Amp, Codex, OpenCode, or Claude Code + OpenClaude),brv connectors listnow reads the footer marker inside the BRV section so only the installed agent's rules connector is shown. By @RyanNg1403 in #617 - OpenClaw installer no longer crashes under strict shell mode. Fixed an unbound-variable error in
scripts/openclaw-setup.shand cleaned up orphan onboarding-plugin code paths. By @cuongdo-byterover in #635
🚀 Upgrade & Install
Fresh install (macOS / Linux):
curl -fsSL https://byterover.dev/install.sh | sh
Existing users: re-run the installer above to upgrade in place, then run brv restart to reload the daemon.
✅ No Breaking Changes
All changes are backward compatible. Existing context trees, provider configs, and connected agents continue to work with no migration. The billing team picker defaults to the org default until you pin one, so users who never had multiple teams will see no behavior change.
