Month: 2026-06 — Focused on stabilizing startup reliability and reducing runtime failures in the vercel/ai harness. Delivered a targeted WebSocket startup error handling fix so that when the requested port is already in use, the startup promise is rejected, preventing unresolved promises and Node from exiting with an error. This improves developer feedback, sandbox reliability, and overall uptime in automated environments.
