Kaya 0.1.0 native standalone

These notes describe the native standalone 0.1.0 distribution. Check current release availability for verified platforms, installation commands and downloads. This note alone does not establish public availability or select the stable channel.

Standalone contents

The standalone archive contains three native Rust executables:

• kaya, the command-line interface for programs and sessions.
• kayad, the daemon that owns the HTTP/session service and language execution.
• kaya-tool-server, the required colocated tool-server companion.

Keep all three executables together. The archive includes file checksums, release notes, license terms and third-party notices. The sibling release.json records the source commit, protocol versions and archive identity. Checksums provide integrity over HTTPS; they are not a publisher signature.

Core execution needs neither Bun nor Node. Optional React/TSX rendering requires separately installed Node, tsx and React. Native rendering and conversion operations may require external tools such as Chromium, Calibre, Typst or Poppler; see media rendering. Editor packages, kaya-acp and kaya-utils are separate from this distribution.

Native programs and sessions

Use kaya run to start a local program and kaya resume to resume a saved session. Saved programs retain their captured immutable source snapshots; editing the original file does not replace a saved program's source. kaya check and kaya fmt run locally in Rust without contacting the daemon. See the command-line reference for session commands, inputs and daemon controls.

Unsupported native capabilities receive structured admission errors instead of falling back to a TypeScript worker. In particular, the initial native host does not admit fetch() or download() statements. Provider credentials do not enable those statement kinds; see the standard-library reference.

Installation and upgrades

Use only a supported platform listed on the release page. Cross-compilation or a check on another operating system does not establish matching-host installation support. The reviewed installation command selects an immutable version; final publication and stable-channel promotion are separate operations.

The Unix installer verifies the complete cohort before selecting it through its current symlink. Stop older daemons manually before upgrading. An old flat installation is preserved and refused; use a fresh KAYA_INSTALL_DIR rather than mixing binaries from different cohorts. See Installing Kaya for setup and precautions.

The product version is separate from daemon protocol and HTTP binding 2.0.0. Clients use durable history; older raw text-delta clients need to upgrade. Upgrading binaries does not rewrite a saved program.

Scope

This distribution runs native programs through the command line and daemon. Browser-local execution, browser BYOK and runnable /try examples require the separate WebAssembly distribution and its browser qualification. They are not provided by this native archive; final release availability is recorded on the release page.
