v0.20.3

What's Changed

• Update using-models.md by @Lumpin-askui in #169
• fix: non-serializable MCP config model by @adi-wan-askui in #171

🐛 Bug Fixes

• MCP Configuration Serialization: Fixed an issue where the MCP configuration model was non-serializable on Windows systems. The RemoteMCPServer.auth field previously included httpx.Auth
  type which is not serializable, causing failures when generating OpenAPI spec and trying to serialize it. This has been resolved by overriding the fastmcp model with a custom implementation that restricts the
  auth field to fully serializable types (str | Literal["oauth"] | None), ensuring cross-platform compatibility and proper configuration persistence.

📜 Documentation

• Model Reliability Updates: Updated model usage documentation to better highlight reliability features and improvements.

v0.20.2

What's Changed

• Introduce cors check by @onur-askui in #168

🚀 Features

• CORS Configuration: Added configurable CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) settings for the Chat API
  • Introduced allow_origins setting in Settings class that allows specifying which origins are permitted to make cross-origin requests
  • Default allowed origins include:
    • http://localhost:4200 (local development)
    • https://app.caesr.ai and https://app-dev.caesr.ai (Caesr app)
    • https://hub.askui.com and https://hub-dev.askui.com (AskUI Hub)
  • Can be configured via environment variable: ASKUI__CHAT_API__ALLOW_ORIGINS
  • The CORS middleware is now configured using this setting (src/askui/chat/api/app.py:177)

v0.20.1

What's Changed

• chore(models): remove 413 from retryable status codes by @adi-wan-askui in #165
• fix(playwright): delegate browser installation to user by @adi-wan-askui in #166
• feat(chat): add default model setting for chat interactions by @adi-wan-askui in #167

🚀 Features

• Configurable Chat Model: You can now configure the default model used for chat interactions via the ASKUI__CHAT_API__MODEL environment variable. The default model is "claude-sonnet-4-20250514". To use a different model, such as "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", set the environment variable:

  export ASKUI__CHAT_API__MODEL="claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"

  This setting is applied globally across all chat interactions in the API (src/askui/chat/api/settings.py:69-72).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Playwright Browser Installation: Fixed an issue where the Playwright MCP integration would fail with installation instructions that were not actionable for users. The error messages now correctly delegate browser installation to the user with a clear message: "Download and install the browser to continue." The system detects when a Playwright tool error contains installation instructions and replaces them with a user-friendly message (src/askui/models/shared/tools.py:142-158).

• HTTP 413 Status Code Handling: Removed HTTP status code 413 (Request Entity Too Large) from the list of retryable errors. When a request is too large, retrying will not resolve the issue, so the system now fails fast instead of attempting unnecessary retries (src/askui/models/askui/retry_utils.py:48).
