AidaIDE 1.0.0-rc11 — Release Notes

The four big additions in 1.0

1. Rogue Device Hunt — find the port, not just the address

A new tab under the Network menu. Port scanners only find devices that answer; this one reads the tables your switches already keep. It joins ARP entries against switch MAC address tables to resolve a device down to the physical port it is plugged into, so an unknown box on the network becomes "vendor X, switch sw-core-2, port 1/1/12" — somewhere you can walk to.

• Collects from ArubaOS-CX, ProCurve, Cisco IOS, and plain arp -a — over SSH, or from output you paste in.
• Multi-switch aware, scoped by VLAN, with access-port inference over LLDP and fewest-MACs ranking, and an ordered trace path.
• Trace to port works forwards too: give it an IP or MAC you already know and get the path to its access port.
• Honest by construction: devices are marked UNRECOGNISED, never "rogue"; an OUI it cannot identify stays unknown rather than guessed; unparsed lines and unreachable switches are counted and named.

2. Run AI agents on your own hardware

An Ollama / Local Models manager, and a Remote Models override that decides where agent runs happen. Install Ollama onto a saved Linux device over SSH from inside the IDE, scan, pull and delete models on that host, then force every agent run — including Team and IC stages — through a chosen model on a chosen device. It travels over the SSH session you already have open: no cloud, no API key, nothing leaving your network.

• Small-device smarts: context is compacted to the model's real window with num_ctx sized per model, and a run that exhausts a device GPU retries automatically on CPU.
• The model server's actual error is surfaced instead of a bare HTTP 500.

3. Free to open

The core IDE is free forever, with no key and no trial clock — editor, file browser, terminal, SSH engine, saved devices, LCOT, workspaces, and themes. Pro unlocks the advanced tabs, and a locked tab tells you which tier it needs and where to enter a key rather than simply refusing.

4. Install it anywhere

Fleet → Install AidaIDE on Device (OTA) pushes the IDE onto a remote Jetson, Pi, or Debian box over SSH, with the install log streamed back and the run cancellable. macOS (.dmg, arm64) and a source-based Linux installer are built in the release pipeline.

Highlights across the candidates

• Hardware Lab. Run device code against virtual hardware — timeline scenarios and expectations, scored in milliseconds on a virtual clock — replay the trace on a rendered board, then Run on Device over SFTP and diff the simulation against the bench edge by edge.
• A 33-board registry — NVIDIA Jetson, Arduino, and Espressif lines — with real pin maps that also feed editor completions and the hardware linter.
• Terminal search that tells the truth. Ctrl+F finally works in SSH-tab terminals, and reports "on-screen only, N earlier lines trimmed" instead of implying it searched the whole session. A jump-to-bottom chip carries a real missed-line count.
• Web-terminal font zoom (Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- / Ctrl+0) with PTY reflow.
• Remote Desktop is fully drivable from a desktop browser — mouse and full keyboard, touch pan while zoomed, and local image paste.
• Network scanning overhaul. Quick Scan crawls so endpoint security stops eating it; results are honest ("14 devices here, none offering SSH"); subnets are detected with no internet; the topology map no longer swaps your PC and the router; and the beaconing detector stops calling CDNs malware.
• Packet capture says when Npcap is missing instead of returning nothing.
• Freemium licensing with a fail-open gate — a licensing hiccup never locks you out of work you already had.
• Local web server startup now has a live status line with Start / Restart under Settings → Cloud Portal, and failures show the real reason.
• Default-admin-password lockdown — red banner and a forced change prompt.
• Cert-store trust, so Cloud Portal enrollment works on fresh PCs behind AV HTTPS scanning.
• The installer is roughly 110 MB, down from about 1.4 GB — machine learning frameworks that were being bundled unnecessarily are gone.
• Security hardening: Splunk HEC TLS, Modbus frame validation, an AI key manager that fails loudly, a serial-monitor leak closed, OTA https/target/rollback checks, and SIEM TLS verification.
• Plus a build preflight guard and a blocking launch smoke test, so a broken build cannot ship.
