May 2026 monthly summary for elizaOS/eliza focusing on vault unification, Milady integration, inventory surface, and CI/quality improvements. Delivered a multi‑phase vault overhaul with Milady/EIP-6963 integration, per-call consent UI, and per-domain whitelisting to improve dApp security and user control. Consolidated wallet keys into a single vault storage, enabling easier key management and stronger security guarantees. Introduced a unified inventory surface to Settings -> Wallet & RPC, backed by the new /api/secrets/inventory endpoint, with per-agent vault keys surfaced as needed. Implemented Wallet Env Vars Bridge to expose per-agent wallets to user processes in a controlled way, supporting downstream plugins while preserving opt-out. Established Milady/Pglite vault backend behind MILADY_VAULT_BACKEND with one-shot legacy vault.json migration and a sentinel to avoid re-imports. Added api-base-owner as a single source of truth for the agent API base port, reducing port-shift misconfigurations and improving resilience to port changes. Refined vault state handling (vault.has() as truth) and removed the legacy .vault-hydrated.json marker to simplify bootstrap. Strengthened 1Password CLI integration by proper account handling and updated desktop probing to rely on vault/inventory state. Expanded automated CI/test reliability with extensive formatter and test infrastructure fixes (biome, bun.lock, symlinks for workspace plugins, and per-plugin formatting passes). Overall, these changes reduce operational risk, improve developer experience, and accelerate onboarding for third‑party plugins and dApps while delivering more secure, scalable wallet and vault management.

April 2026 (2026-04) was a productivity and stability milestone for elizaOS/eliza, delivering core business-value improvements across security, vault integration, CI reliability, and performance. The month included a substantial reduction in desktop bun bundle size and startup risk, a robust multi-backend vault with inventory, per-context routing, and a revamped Secrets UI, and broad CI/test reliability improvements to support faster, safer PRs. It also advanced heavy-app launch UX, per-agent vault contexts, and watch-mode enhancements, while stabilizing cross-cutting developer experience improvements (static-node cleanups, widget-host cycle fixes, and CI wiring). Key features delivered (selected highlights): - Electrobun bun bundle fix: keep agent runtime and plugins out of bun bundle; bundle size trimmed (~957k → ~360k) and startup errors resolved (commit 52730777e8de57b0e6f3fe1313d3db597974d83f; build stabilization and bun-external config changes). - App launch surface: route heavy apps through detailed launch metadata to improve reliability and UX (commit 391725a49bfcd6224c2b0d2c32fea91c2ed8673f et al.). - In-app watch-mode: early-stage watch-mode improvements to browser/launchpad/remote balance (commit 9d45d6047ec6d38292f4b7af50bbcf01bfae8b8f). - Confidant credential mediation layer: phase-0 contract for per-skill credential mediation and related APIs (commit 92ac7185bb2f4048d55de5a1a57d0408a1a487ad). - Vault: @elizaos/vault multi-backend manager + Secrets UI integration, inventory, per-key profiles, and routing API (commits 48a332c3d4c18fcb8edfcae7269c7e897a9780a1; 74df932ae4046ed55927578e87d90eb459c6ad00; 3cf8953436203d68f29c6262b82ec2375bd3026f). - Cross-platform CI: new app-core-wiring CI job with expanded path filtering to validate vault/confidant test suites across Linux/macOS/Windows (commit bc03643df9b4219a598f014dfc80d3ecf87149e0). Major bugs fixed: - WidgetHost export cycle and static node import fixes that enable safe chunk-splitting and remove bundling-time warnings (commits 8a520b0175e6188f1541730cc10df76a443c8f65 and 5e783fa047616949b44a5898add7e4a0257034fb). - Streamlined workspace/static import warnings and dynamic-node import noise (several commits in steward/static-node imports refactor and co-authored merges). - CI/test flakiness and environment issues addressed (gnome-keyring CI, vault CI, and multi-OS test coverage improvements). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Stability: dramatically reduced startup errors and dead-code propagation by removing unintended imports and consolidating bundle boundaries; improved test stability and cross-file consistency. - Security and data integrity: introduced vault-backed storage for sensitive credentials, per-context routing, and auditability; reduced plaintext exposure and improved key management across provider, plugin, and wallet domains. - Developer experience: expanded CI coverage, streamlined test suites, and refactored complex wiring (vault, confidant, and agent components) to support faster iteration and safer PRs. - Business value: lower operational risk for credential handling, safer deployment across platforms, and more reliable app launches for heavy apps and enterprise use cases; improved governance via structured audit logs and per-context controls. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - TypeScript, Bun, Node.js, OS-keyring integration, and cross-platform secret backends (1Password/Bitwarden) with vault reflections. - Architectural work across vault integration, credentials governance, per-agent contexts, and per-context routing. - Test strategy expansion (unit/integration/e2e) and cross-platform CI pipelines; performance optimization (bundle sizing) and UI/UX improvements for heavy-app launches. - Refactoring patterns (static-node import fixes, widget-host cycle resolution) to enable reliable code-splitting and build stability.
