Full changelog

ByteRover CLI 3.16.1 is a small patch release with one fix: a valid login is no longer misread at startup, so a signed-in session stays signed in across restarts. No more being bounced to the provider picker or asked to run brv login again on every launch. Safe to upgrade, with no behavior change and nothing to reconfigure.

What's Changed

🐛 Fixed

Stay signed in across restarts. A valid login could be misread when the CLI started up, which dropped you into the provider picker and asked you to run brv login again on every launch. The CLI now reads your auth state correctly, so once you are signed in you stay signed in. By @bao-byterover in #709

🚀 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 so the daemon picks up the new version.

✅ No Breaking Changes

Fully backward compatible. Your provider connections, settings, context trees, and connected agents keep working with no migration.
