Backport of the internal fix for strict SemVer validation of playwrightCliVersion.

The playwrightCliVersion configuration value is forwarded to npm as the
package version specifier. Previously any non-empty string would be
passed through, so a typo or unsupported shape (a range, an npm
dist-tag like 'latest', a v-prefixed version, etc.) would surface as a
generic 'failed to resolve' error from npm.

Validate the override with SemVersion.TryParse using SemVersionStyles.Strict
and fail fast with a clear message that names the configuration key and
the offending value when it is not a valid SemVer 2.0 version.

Pull request overview

This PR adds strict SemVer 2.0 validation for the playwrightCliVersion configuration override in the Playwright CLI installer. Previously, any string (including npm ranges like >=0.2.0, dist-tags like latest, or malformed values) could be passed through to npm. Now, the installer validates the override is a well-formed MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version before forwarding it, returning a clear error message on failure.

Changes:

  • Adds SemVersion.TryParse validation with SemVersionStyles.Strict before accepting a version override, with an early-return failure path and descriptive error message.
  • Adds a localized resource string (PlaywrightCliInstaller_InvalidVersionOverride) across the .resx and all 11 .xlf files.
  • Adds a [Theory] test with 5 invalid version variants verifying the installer returns Failed status without calling npm.

Document the playwrightCliVersion configuration setting and its strict
SemVer 2.0 requirement, introduced in microsoft/aspire#18205.

The Playwright CLI installer now validates that playwrightCliVersion
contains a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version string before forwarding it to npm.
Dist-tags (latest), ranges (>=1.0.0), and v-prefixed forms (v1.52.0)
are all rejected with a descriptive error message.

Add a 'Pin the Playwright CLI version' section to aspire-skills.mdx
covering the configuration key, valid format, and the new error message
users may see if their config value does not pass validation.

## 13.4.6

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.6

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 fixing polyglot AppHost code generation
binding when CLI and SDK versions diverge, resource service port
collision in `--isolated` mode, and a MongoDB.Driver dependency update.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔗 **Polyglot AppHost code generation silently failed when CLI and SDK
versions diverged** — `Aspire.TypeSystem` used a floating strong-name
`AssemblyVersion` that changed with every build. When the installed
Aspire CLI was built at a different version than the AppHost's SDK, the
CLR couldn't satisfy the strong-name bind and every code generator
(TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust) was silently dropped, surfacing as
`No code generator found for language: <lang>`. The `AssemblyVersion` is
now frozen at a stable constant so any compatible CLI/SDK pair on 13.4
binds successfully. Relates to #​18110 and #​17910.
([#​18160](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18160),
`@​sebastienros`)

- 🔌 **Multiple AppHosts started with `--isolated` collided on the
resource service port** — Both instances tried to bind to the same fixed
port from `ASPIRE_RESOURCE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_URL`, causing an "address
already in use" error on the second instance. `DashboardServiceHost` now
binds to port 0 on loopback when `RandomizePorts` is true (set by
`--isolated`), letting the OS assign a unique port per instance.
([#​18341](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18341), `@​JamesNK`)

- 🍃 **MongoDB.Driver updated to 3.9.0** — Removes a wrongly pinned
`SharpCompress` transitive dependency and uses the corrected `Snappier`
transitive. Fixes #​17981.
([#​18279](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18279),
`@​Falco20019`)

## 13.4.5

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.5

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 clearing a transitive MessagePack security
advisory, tightening CLI validation for Playwright configuration, and
adding coding-agent detection to CLI telemetry.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🛡️ **Bumped StreamJsonRpc to 2.25.29 to clear the MessagePack
GHSA-hv8m-jj95-wg3x (CVE-2026-48109) NU1903 advisory** — The transitive
MessagePack 2.5.192 dependency pulled in via StreamJsonRpc 2.22.23 fell
within the advisory's vulnerable LZ4 decompression range. Aspire does
not use `MessagePackFormatter` or LZ4 — all StreamJsonRpc calls use
`SystemTextJsonFormatter` over local Unix sockets — so the vulnerability
was not reachable in practice. The bump clears the NU1903 warning for
consumers of the `Aspire.Hosting` package.
([#​18204](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18204),
`@​mitchdenny`)
- 🎭 **`playwrightCliVersion` values that are not valid SemVer 2.0 now
fail fast with a clear diagnostic** — Previously an invalid override
(range expression, dist-tag like `latest`, or a `v`-prefixed string)
would surface as a generic npm resolution failure. The value is now
validated with strict SemVer parsing at startup; an error naming the
configuration key and the offending value is emitted immediately.
([#​18205](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18205),
`@​mitchdenny`)
- 🤖 **CLI telemetry now detects and reports the calling coding agent** —
When the Aspire CLI is invoked from inside a known coding agent
environment (GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code Copilot agent, etc.) the agent
name is included in the main CLI telemetry event. GitHub Copilot CLI is
specifically identified as `copilot-cli`.
([#​18240](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18240),
`@​damianedwards`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 📄 Refreshed the `@​microsoft/aspire-cli` npm package README to be
TypeScript-only — updated examples to the current `ts-starter` template
(`apphost.mts` / `aspire.mjs`), added a backing-services snippet showing
`aspire add` for PostgreSQL and Redis, and documented `aspire dashboard
run` as a standalone dashboard option.
([#​18221](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18221), `@​adamint`)

## 13.4.4

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.4

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with improved DCP connection reliability
during request execution and consistent `ExcludeFromMcp()` filtering
across all CLI MCP tools.

### 🐛 Fixes

* 🔌 **DCP requests could fail permanently when the connection dropped
mid-request** — If the underlying DCP channel closed while a request was
in flight, the error was surfaced directly instead of being retried.
Reconnection is now attempted as part of the DCP request retry path so
transient disconnections recover automatically without surfacing errors.
([#​18096](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18096),
`@​karolz-ms`)
* 🔍 **Resources marked with `ExcludeFromMcp()` were not consistently
filtered from CLI MCP tools** — Resources with the
`resource.excludeFromMcp` property were not excluded uniformly from all
CLI MCP tool results. `list_resources`, `list_console_logs`,
`execute_resource_command`, `list_structured_logs`, `list_traces`, and
`list_trace_structured_logs` all now honor the exclusion, preventing
excluded resources and their telemetry from appearing in agent context.
([#​18150](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18150), `@​JamesNK`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

* 📦 Improved npm CLI package metadata and hardened npm publish
validation in the release pipeline.

## 13.4.3

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.3

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with a fix for persistent container
endpoint allocation regressions introduced in 13.4.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔌 **Persistent container endpoints had incorrect default behavior** —
Persistent containers were defaulting to proxyless endpoint behavior
instead of the proxied behavior used by normal containers. This caused
integrations that depend on endpoint allocation before resource startup
(such as the KeyVault emulator) to fail. Persistent containers now
default to proxied endpoints matching normal container behavior; opt out
with `isProxied: false` or `WithEndpointProxySupport(false)`. Proxyless
container endpoints with only a `targetPort` specified now also resolve
immediately to that port instead of waiting for delayed allocation.
(#​17960, `@​danegsta`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 🛠️ Unblocked WinGet manifest publishing on locked-down 1ES agents and
updated manifest tags (#​17958)

## 13.4.2

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.2

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with a fix for Redis persistent container
deadlock on startup when using TLS.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔴 **Redis with `WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent)` could
deadlock on startup** — Redis TLS startup arguments used the
public/allocated host ports instead of the internal target ports. When
the public port differed from the target port (or was not yet allocated)
the container would listen on an unexpected port and become unreachable.
The TLS and non-TLS startup arguments now bind to target ports, matching
what Redis expects internally. Fixes #​17822. (#​17827, backported via
#​17850, `@​danegsta`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.4.2 (#​17876)

## 13.4.1

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.1

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with fixes for explicit-start resource
lifecycle callbacks, Redis persistent container startup, proxyless
endpoint allocation, and a duplicated `profiles` block in the empty C#
AppHost template.

### 🐛 Fixes

- ⏱️ **Explicit-start resources triggered lifecycle callbacks too
early** — Session-scoped resources marked with `WithExplicitStart()`
were having their execution configuration callbacks (environment
variables, arguments, certificates) evaluated at AppHost startup instead
of at manual start. This meant user-interaction callbacks such as
`WithEnvironment(ctx => PromptForValueAsync(...))` were called before
the user triggered the resource. DCP registration is now deferred until
the user manually starts the resource; persistent explicit-start
resources still register immediately but patch the existing DCP record
to `Start = true` rather than deleting and recreating it. Fixes #​17813.
(#​17825, backported via #​17826, `@​danegsta`)
- 🔴 **Redis with `WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent)` could
deadlock on startup** — Redis TLS startup arguments used the
public/allocated host ports instead of the internal target ports. When
the public port differed from the target port (or was not yet allocated)
the container would listen on an unexpected port and become unreachable.
The TLS and non-TLS startup arguments now bind to target ports, matching
what Redis expects internally. Fixes #​17822. (#​17827, backported via
#​17850, `@​danegsta`)
- 🔌 **Proxyless container endpoint could hang when resolved before
container creation** — Referencing a proxyless container endpoint in an
environment variable callback (before the container port spec was
finalized) could deadlock. An on-demand allocation path now commits the
target port as the fallback host port in that case; once
`BuildContainerPorts` runs, normal DCP dynamic port assignment takes
over for any later resolution. (#​17851, backported via #​17859,
`@​danegsta`)
- 📄 **Empty C# AppHost template emitted duplicate `profiles` block** —
`aspire new aspire-empty` on 13.4 produced an `aspire.config.json` with
a `profiles` block that duplicated the content already present in
`apphost.run.json`, causing redundant launch configuration. The embedded
template now contains only the required `appHost.path` binding; profile
configuration lives exclusively in `apphost.run.json`. Fixes #​17660.
(#​17781, backported via #​17820, `@​mitchdenny`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 📦 Added Aspire CLI npm package to the release pipeline so the npm
distribution is published as part of stable releases. (#​17297,
backported via #​17766, `@​adamint`)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.4.1 (#​17819)

## 13.4.0

# Aspire 13.4.0

Aspire 13.4 brings major improvements to Foundry hosted agents, the
Aspire skills system, CLI reliability, and TypeScript AppHost stability
— with cross-compute-environment deployment now working end-to-end and
**TypeScript AppHost support — Aspire's polyglot story — reaching
general availability (GA)**.

## Highlights

- 🎉 **TypeScript AppHost is now GA** — First introduced as a preview in
an earlier version of Aspire, the TypeScript AppHost — Aspire's polyglot
story — has reached the quality bar for general availability and is now
officially supported for production use alongside C#. As part of GA, the
experimental markers on the Azure TypeScript AppHost (ATS) APIs have
been removed and the ATS surface area is stable for 13.4.
- 🤖 **Foundry hosted agents** — Protocol selection (`responses` /
`invocations`) is now configurable from both C# and TypeScript AppHosts.
Cross-compute-environment deployments (e.g., a Foundry hosted agent + an
AKS consumer) now wire up correctly: endpoint resolution and the
required **Azure AI User** RBAC role assignment on the Foundry account
are generated automatically — no manual `az role assignment create`
steps needed.
- 🛠️ **Aspire skills catalog from bundle** — `aspire agent init` now
drives its installable skill catalog from the bundle manifest, surfacing
all six bundled skills (previously only three were visible). An embedded
snapshot means the full catalog is available even in airgapped /
disconnected environments.
- 🔧 **CLI reliability** — Multiple CLI fixes: implicit-channel discovery
restored, `aspire stop` no longer falsely reports failure on Unix,
`aspire ps` no longer includes raw resource data (use `aspire describe`
for detailed state), `aspire new` prefers the current CLI template
version, friendly error for `aspire do --list-steps` without a step
argument, and improved `--search` option description with documentation
link.
- ⌨️ **TypeScript AppHost** — Fixed a deadlock that occurred when lazy
options callbacks invoked async methods; dev-localhost resource service
URLs are now accepted for local development without extra configuration.
- 📊 **Dashboard** — Summary log formatting improved for readability,
`dotnet watch` dashboard auto-launch signal restored, and dynamic-port
handling fixed for `DistributedApplicationTestingBuilder`.
- ☸️ **Kubernetes** — The Helm CLI minimum version (≥ 4.2.0) is now
validated before a Kubernetes deploy, giving a clear error instead of a
cryptic failure.
- ⚠️ **`Aspire.Hosting.Blazor` ships as preview in 13.4** — A packaging
issue with the Blazor gateway scripts means the package is intentionally
marked preview for this release. Full stable support is targeted for
13.5.

## ⚠️ Notable changes

- `aspire ps` no longer includes raw resource data in its output. Use
`aspire describe <resource>` to inspect detailed resource state.
- Foundry hosted agent builder API shape updated — see
[#​17545](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/17545) and
[#​17669](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/17669) for the
updated C# and TypeScript signatures.
- `Aspire.Hosting.Blazor` is preview-versioned in 13.4
(`SuppressFinalPackageVersion=true`). A fix for the `addBlazorGateway`
gateway script resolution error in TypeScript AppHosts is tracked in
[#​17685](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/issues/17685).

## 13.3.5

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.5

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with fixes for the Azure provisioning
location prompt and an Aspire CLI named-pipe timeout on Linux with .NET
SDK 10.0.300.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 📍 **Azure provisioning location prompt not populated** — Selecting an
existing resource group during `aspire publish` now correctly populates
dependent server-controlled fields (such as Location). Previously,
server-provided values for disabled inputs were discarded, leaving those
fields blank. (#​17278, backported via #​17291)
- 🔧 **Aspire CLI named-pipe timeout on Linux with .NET SDK 10.0.300** —
The Aspire CLI was forcing `DOTNET_CLI_USE_MSBUILD_SERVER=1` for all
`dotnet run`/`dotnet build` invocations. On Linux with SDK 10.0.300 this
caused a named-pipe timeout that prevented `aspire run` from building
the AppHost. The forced override has been removed so the SDK chooses
MSBuild server behavior. Fixes #​16849. (#​17313, backported via
#​17314)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- ⬆️ Skipped log publish for WinGet/Homebrew installer pipeline jobs to
fix Prepare Installers stage failures (#​17134)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.5 (#​17315)

## 13.3.4

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.4

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with a fix for the Aspire skill
description exceeding agent host limits.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 📝 **Aspire skill description too long for agent hosts** — The
`SKILL.md` generated by `aspire agent init` included a frontmatter
description that exceeded the 1024-character limit enforced by agent
hosts such as Codex and Copilot CLI, causing the Aspire skill to fail to
load. The bundled skill description has been shortened to stay within
the limit. (#​17183, backported via #​17188)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

## 13.3.3

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.3

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with fixes for debug log level leaking
into user resources, Keycloak HTTPS endpoint token invalidation, and
endpoint materialization in `HostResourceWithEndpoints`.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔇 **Debug log level leaking into user resources** —
`Logging__LogLevel__Default=Debug` set by the app host was being
inherited by all user resources, silently changing their logging
verbosity. The app host now uses `ASPIRE_APPHOST_LOGLEVEL` instead,
which is scoped to Aspire processes only. (#​17071, backported via
#​17078)
- 🔑 **Keycloak HTTPS primary endpoint** — Fixed a regression where
Keycloak tokens became invalid after an app host restart because the
HTTPS endpoint port was dynamic. When developer certificates are
enabled, Keycloak's primary endpoint is now upgraded to HTTPS directly,
and the endpoint name is set to `http` to enable standard
`http+https://` service discovery URLs. (#​17058, backported via
#​17063)
- 🔌 **Endpoint materialization in `HostResourceWithEndpoints`** —
Endpoints configured via `HostResourceWithEndpoints` are now correctly
materialized, ensuring endpoint resolution and service discovery work as
expected. (#​17091, backported via #​17092)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- ⬆️ Bumped DCP (Microsoft.DeveloperControlPlane) from 0.23.5 → 0.23.6 —
includes fixes for Kubernetes OpenAPI generator types that caused
`[SHOULD NOT HAPPEN] failed to update managedFields` errors. (#​17070)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.3 (#​17088)

## 13.3.2

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.2

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with a fix for container tunnel startup
when tunnel-dependent containers use `WaitFor()`.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🚇 Fix `WaitFor()` for tunnel-dependent containers — The container
tunnel implementation that shipped in Aspire 13.3 deadlocked at startup
when tunnel-using containers waited on other resources, because resource
waits blocked `ResourceStarting` before the tunnel initialization could
complete. Container and tunnel startup have been refactored to cooperate
correctly, and additional tunnel-dependent containers can now be started
at any point during the application lifecycle. Also improves error
reporting for container tunnel failures. (#​16988, backported via
#​16993)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.2 (#​17053)


## 13.3.1

# Aspire 13.3.1

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.1

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with a regression fix for `aspire run` and
a DCP bump.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🏃 **`aspire run` compute environment validation** — Skip compute
environment validation in run mode so customers no longer hit `Resource
'<name>' is configured to publish as an Azure Container App, but there
are no 'AzureContainerAppEnvironmentResource' resources. Ensure you have
added one by calling 'AddAzureContainerAppEnvironment'.` errors during
local runs. The check is now only performed in publish mode, matching
pre-13.3 behavior. (#​16945, backported via #​16952)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- ⬆️ Bumped DCP (Microsoft.DeveloperControlPlane) from 0.23.4 → 0.23.5
(#​16944)
- 🌐 Updated localization resources (#​16602)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.1 (#​16951)

## 13.3.0

 # Aspire 13.3.0
 
Aspire 13.3 is here! 🚀 This release is packed with new ways to deploy,
debug, and build distributed apps — including `aspire destroy`, browser
telemetry in the dashboard, Kubernetes deployment, first-class
JavaScript publishing, and major TypeScript AppHost parity
 improvements.
 
 ## Highlights
 
- 🧹 **Clean teardown** — New **`aspire destroy`** tears down Azure,
Kubernetes, and Docker Compose deployments, and pipeline summaries make
deploy/publish/destroy runs easier to follow.
- 🔍 **Frontend telemetry** — **Aspire.Hosting.Browsers** captures
browser console logs, network requests, and screenshots right in the
Aspire dashboard.
- ☸️ **Kubernetes deploy preview** — **`aspire deploy`** can now
generate Helm-based Kubernetes deployments, with first-class Ingress and
Gateway API routing.
- 🟨 **JavaScript publishing** — New **`PublishAs*`** methods support
static sites, Node servers, npm-script apps, Next.js, Vite, Bun, Yarn,
and pnpm.
- 🌐 **TypeScript AppHost parity** — Unified `withEnvironment`, Docker
Compose hooks, endpoint expressions, Azure Container Apps domains, and
more close the gap with C# AppHosts.
- 🛠️ **CLI upgrades** — Run the standalone dashboard with **`aspire
dashboard run`**, install the CLI as a NativeAOT `dotnet tool`, and
search API docs from the terminal.
- ☁️ **Azure goodness** — New Azure Front Door, Network Security
Perimeter, AKS, private endpoint, and Foundry Prompt Agent support.
- 🐳 **Better containers** — The Aspire container tunnel is now enabled
by default for consistent host connectivity across Docker Desktop,
Docker Engine, and Podman.
 
 ## ⚠️ Breaking changes
 
Notable breaking changes include `--log-level` becoming
`--pipeline-log-level`, the dashboard MCP server being replaced by
`aspire agent init`, `dotnet new aspire-py-starter` moving to `aspire
new aspire-py-starter`, and several API shape updates across AKS,
Foundry, JavaScript diagnostics, and TypeScript AppHost helpers.

## 13.4.6

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.6

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 fixing polyglot AppHost code generation
binding when CLI and SDK versions diverge, resource service port
collision in `--isolated` mode, and a MongoDB.Driver dependency update.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔗 **Polyglot AppHost code generation silently failed when CLI and SDK
versions diverged** — `Aspire.TypeSystem` used a floating strong-name
`AssemblyVersion` that changed with every build. When the installed
Aspire CLI was built at a different version than the AppHost's SDK, the
CLR couldn't satisfy the strong-name bind and every code generator
(TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust) was silently dropped, surfacing as
`No code generator found for language: <lang>`. The `AssemblyVersion` is
now frozen at a stable constant so any compatible CLI/SDK pair on 13.4
binds successfully. Relates to #​18110 and #​17910.
([#​18160](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18160),
`@​sebastienros`)

- 🔌 **Multiple AppHosts started with `--isolated` collided on the
resource service port** — Both instances tried to bind to the same fixed
port from `ASPIRE_RESOURCE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_URL`, causing an "address
already in use" error on the second instance. `DashboardServiceHost` now
binds to port 0 on loopback when `RandomizePorts` is true (set by
`--isolated`), letting the OS assign a unique port per instance.
([#​18341](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18341), `@​JamesNK`)

- 🍃 **MongoDB.Driver updated to 3.9.0** — Removes a wrongly pinned
`SharpCompress` transitive dependency and uses the corrected `Snappier`
transitive. Fixes #​17981.
([#​18279](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18279),
`@​Falco20019`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

## 13.4.5

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.5

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 clearing a transitive MessagePack security
advisory, tightening CLI validation for Playwright configuration, and
adding coding-agent detection to CLI telemetry.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🛡️ **Bumped StreamJsonRpc to 2.25.29 to clear the MessagePack
GHSA-hv8m-jj95-wg3x (CVE-2026-48109) NU1903 advisory** — The transitive
MessagePack 2.5.192 dependency pulled in via StreamJsonRpc 2.22.23 fell
within the advisory's vulnerable LZ4 decompression range. Aspire does
not use `MessagePackFormatter` or LZ4 — all StreamJsonRpc calls use
`SystemTextJsonFormatter` over local Unix sockets — so the vulnerability
was not reachable in practice. The bump clears the NU1903 warning for
consumers of the `Aspire.Hosting` package.
([#​18204](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18204),
`@​mitchdenny`)
- 🎭 **`playwrightCliVersion` values that are not valid SemVer 2.0 now
fail fast with a clear diagnostic** — Previously an invalid override
(range expression, dist-tag like `latest`, or a `v`-prefixed string)
would surface as a generic npm resolution failure. The value is now
validated with strict SemVer parsing at startup; an error naming the
configuration key and the offending value is emitted immediately.
([#​18205](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18205),
`@​mitchdenny`)
- 🤖 **CLI telemetry now detects and reports the calling coding agent** —
When the Aspire CLI is invoked from inside a known coding agent
environment (GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code Copilot agent, etc.) the agent
name is included in the main CLI telemetry event. GitHub Copilot CLI is
specifically identified as `copilot-cli`.
([#​18240](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18240),
`@​damianedwards`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 📄 Refreshed the `@​microsoft/aspire-cli` npm package README to be
TypeScript-only — updated examples to the current `ts-starter` template
(`apphost.mts` / `aspire.mjs`), added a backing-services snippet showing
`aspire add` for PostgreSQL and Redis, and documented `aspire dashboard
run` as a standalone dashboard option.
([#​18221](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18221), `@​adamint`)

## 13.4.4

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.4

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with improved DCP connection reliability
during request execution and consistent `ExcludeFromMcp()` filtering
across all CLI MCP tools.

### 🐛 Fixes

* 🔌 **DCP requests could fail permanently when the connection dropped
mid-request** — If the underlying DCP channel closed while a request was
in flight, the error was surfaced directly instead of being retried.
Reconnection is now attempted as part of the DCP request retry path so
transient disconnections recover automatically without surfacing errors.
([#​18096](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18096),
`@​karolz-ms`)
* 🔍 **Resources marked with `ExcludeFromMcp()` were not consistently
filtered from CLI MCP tools** — Resources with the
`resource.excludeFromMcp` property were not excluded uniformly from all
CLI MCP tool results. `list_resources`, `list_console_logs`,
`execute_resource_command`, `list_structured_logs`, `list_traces`, and
`list_trace_structured_logs` all now honor the exclusion, preventing
excluded resources and their telemetry from appearing in agent context.
([#​18150](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18150), `@​JamesNK`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

* 📦 Improved npm CLI package metadata and hardened npm publish
validation in the release pipeline.

## 13.4.3

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.3

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with a fix for persistent container
endpoint allocation regressions introduced in 13.4.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔌 **Persistent container endpoints had incorrect default behavior** —
Persistent containers were defaulting to proxyless endpoint behavior
instead of the proxied behavior used by normal containers. This caused
integrations that depend on endpoint allocation before resource startup
(such as the KeyVault emulator) to fail. Persistent containers now
default to proxied endpoints matching normal container behavior; opt out
with `isProxied: false` or `WithEndpointProxySupport(false)`. Proxyless
container endpoints with only a `targetPort` specified now also resolve
immediately to that port instead of waiting for delayed allocation.

## 13.4.2

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.2

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with a fix for Redis persistent container
deadlock on startup when using TLS.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔴 **Redis with `WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent)` could
deadlock on startup** — Redis TLS startup arguments used the
public/allocated host ports instead of the internal target ports. When
the public port differed from the target port (or was not yet allocated)
the container would listen on an unexpected port and become unreachable.
The TLS and non-TLS startup arguments now bind to target ports, matching
what Redis expects internally. Fixes #​17822. (#​17827, backported via
#​17850, `@​danegsta`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.4.2 (#​17876)

## 13.4.1

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.1

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with fixes for explicit-start resource
lifecycle callbacks, Redis persistent container startup, proxyless
endpoint allocation, and a duplicated `profiles` block in the empty C#
AppHost template.

### 🐛 Fixes

- ⏱️ **Explicit-start resources triggered lifecycle callbacks too
early** — Session-scoped resources marked with `WithExplicitStart()`
were having their execution configuration callbacks (environment
variables, arguments, certificates) evaluated at AppHost startup instead
of at manual start. This meant user-interaction callbacks such as
`WithEnvironment(ctx => PromptForValueAsync(...))` were called before
the user triggered the resource. DCP registration is now deferred until
the user manually starts the resource; persistent explicit-start
resources still register immediately but patch the existing DCP record
to `Start = true` rather than deleting and recreating it. Fixes #​17813.
(#​17825, backported via #​17826, `@​danegsta`)
- 🔴 **Redis with `WithLifetime(ContainerLifetime.Persistent)` could
deadlock on startup** — Redis TLS startup arguments used the
public/allocated host ports instead of the internal target ports. When
the public port differed from the target port (or was not yet allocated)
the container would listen on an unexpected port and become unreachable.
The TLS and non-TLS startup arguments now bind to target ports, matching
what Redis expects internally. Fixes #​17822. (#​17827, backported via
#​17850, `@​danegsta`)
- 🔌 **Proxyless container endpoint could hang when resolved before
container creation** — Referencing a proxyless container endpoint in an
environment variable callback (before the container port spec was
finalized) could deadlock. An on-demand allocation path now commits the
target port as the fallback host port in that case; once
`BuildContainerPorts` runs, normal DCP dynamic port assignment takes
over for any later resolution. (#​17851, backported via #​17859,
`@​danegsta`)
- 📄 **Empty C# AppHost template emitted duplicate `profiles` block** —
`aspire new aspire-empty` on 13.4 produced an `aspire.config.json` with
a `profiles` block that duplicated the content already present in
`apphost.run.json`, causing redundant launch configuration. The embedded
template now contains only the required `appHost.path` binding; profile
configuration lives exclusively in `apphost.run.json`. Fixes #​17660.
(#​17781, backported via #​17820, `@​mitchdenny`)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 📦 Added Aspire CLI npm package to the release pipeline so the npm
distribution is published as part of stable releases. (#​17297,
backported via #​17766, `@​adamint`)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.4.1 (#​17819)

## 13.4.0

# Aspire 13.4.0

Aspire 13.4 brings major improvements to Foundry hosted agents, the
Aspire skills system, CLI reliability, and TypeScript AppHost stability
— with cross-compute-environment deployment now working end-to-end and
**TypeScript AppHost support — Aspire's polyglot story — reaching
general availability (GA)**.

## Highlights

- 🎉 **TypeScript AppHost is now GA** — First introduced as a preview in
an earlier version of Aspire, the TypeScript AppHost — Aspire's polyglot
story — has reached the quality bar for general availability and is now
officially supported for production use alongside C#. As part of GA, the
experimental markers on the Azure TypeScript AppHost (ATS) APIs have
been removed and the ATS surface area is stable for 13.4.
- 🤖 **Foundry hosted agents** — Protocol selection (`responses` /
`invocations`) is now configurable from both C# and TypeScript AppHosts.
Cross-compute-environment deployments (e.g., a Foundry hosted agent + an
AKS consumer) now wire up correctly: endpoint resolution and the
required **Azure AI User** RBAC role assignment on the Foundry account
are generated automatically — no manual `az role assignment create`
steps needed.
- 🛠️ **Aspire skills catalog from bundle** — `aspire agent init` now
drives its installable skill catalog from the bundle manifest, surfacing
all six bundled skills (previously only three were visible). An embedded
snapshot means the full catalog is available even in airgapped /
disconnected environments.
- 🔧 **CLI reliability** — Multiple CLI fixes: implicit-channel discovery
restored, `aspire stop` no longer falsely reports failure on Unix,
`aspire ps` no longer includes raw resource data (use `aspire describe`
for detailed state), `aspire new` prefers the current CLI template
version, friendly error for `aspire do --list-steps` without a step
argument, and improved `--search` option description with documentation
link.
- ⌨️ **TypeScript AppHost** — Fixed a deadlock that occurred when lazy
options callbacks invoked async methods; dev-localhost resource service
URLs are now accepted for local development without extra configuration.
- 📊 **Dashboard** — Summary log formatting improved for readability,
`dotnet watch` dashboard auto-launch signal restored, and dynamic-port
handling fixed for `DistributedApplicationTestingBuilder`.
- ☸️ **Kubernetes** — The Helm CLI minimum version (≥ 4.2.0) is now
validated before a Kubernetes deploy, giving a clear error instead of a
cryptic failure.
- ⚠️ **`Aspire.Hosting.Blazor` ships as preview in 13.4** — A packaging
issue with the Blazor gateway scripts means the package is intentionally
marked preview for this release. Full stable support is targeted for
13.5.

## ⚠️ Notable changes

- `aspire ps` no longer includes raw resource data in its output. Use
`aspire describe <resource>` to inspect detailed resource state.
- Foundry hosted agent builder API shape updated — see
[#​17545](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/17545) and
[#​17669](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/17669) for the
updated C# and TypeScript signatures.
- `Aspire.Hosting.Blazor` is preview-versioned in 13.4
(`SuppressFinalPackageVersion=true`). A fix for the `addBlazorGateway`
gateway script resolution error in TypeScript AppHosts is tracked in
[#​17685](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/issues/17685).

## 13.3.5

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.5

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with fixes for the Azure provisioning
location prompt and an Aspire CLI named-pipe timeout on Linux with .NET
SDK 10.0.300.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 📍 **Azure provisioning location prompt not populated** — Selecting an
existing resource group during `aspire publish` now correctly populates
dependent server-controlled fields (such as Location). Previously,
server-provided values for disabled inputs were discarded, leaving those
fields blank. (#​17278, backported via #​17291)
- 🔧 **Aspire CLI named-pipe timeout on Linux with .NET SDK 10.0.300** —
The Aspire CLI was forcing `DOTNET_CLI_USE_MSBUILD_SERVER=1` for all
`dotnet run`/`dotnet build` invocations. On Linux with SDK 10.0.300 this
caused a named-pipe timeout that prevented `aspire run` from building
the AppHost. The forced override has been removed so the SDK chooses
MSBuild server behavior. Fixes #​16849. (#​17313, backported via
#​17314)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- ⬆️ Skipped log publish for WinGet/Homebrew installer pipeline jobs to
fix Prepare Installers stage failures (#​17134)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.5 (#​17315)

## 13.3.4

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.4

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with a fix for the Aspire skill
description exceeding agent host limits.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 📝 **Aspire skill description too long for agent hosts** — The
`SKILL.md` generated by `aspire agent init` included a frontmatter
description that exceeded the 1024-character limit enforced by agent
hosts such as Codex and Copilot CLI, causing the Aspire skill to fail to
load. The bundled skill description has been shortened to stay within
the limit. (#​17183, backported via #​17188)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

## 13.3.3

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.3

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with fixes for debug log level leaking
into user resources, Keycloak HTTPS endpoint token invalidation, and
endpoint materialization in `HostResourceWithEndpoints`.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔇 **Debug log level leaking into user resources** —
`Logging__LogLevel__Default=Debug` set by the app host was being
inherited by all user resources, silently changing their logging
verbosity. The app host now uses `ASPIRE_APPHOST_LOGLEVEL` instead,
which is scoped to Aspire processes only. (#​17071, backported via
#​17078)
- 🔑 **Keycloak HTTPS primary endpoint** — Fixed a regression where
Keycloak tokens became invalid after an app host restart because the
HTTPS endpoint port was dynamic. When developer certificates are
enabled, Keycloak's primary endpoint is now upgraded to HTTPS directly,
and the endpoint name is set to `http` to enable standard
`http+https://` service discovery URLs. (#​17058, backported via
#​17063)
- 🔌 **Endpoint materialization in `HostResourceWithEndpoints`** —
Endpoints configured via `HostResourceWithEndpoints` are now correctly
materialized, ensuring endpoint resolution and service discovery work as
expected. (#​17091, backported via #​17092)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- ⬆️ Bumped DCP (Microsoft.DeveloperControlPlane) from 0.23.5 → 0.23.6 —
includes fixes for Kubernetes OpenAPI generator types that caused
`[SHOULD NOT HAPPEN] failed to update managedFields` errors. (#​17070)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.3 (#​17088)

## 13.3.2

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.2

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with a fix for container tunnel startup
when tunnel-dependent containers use `WaitFor()`.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🚇 Fix `WaitFor()` for tunnel-dependent containers — The container
tunnel implementation that shipped in Aspire 13.3 deadlocked at startup
when tunnel-using containers waited on other resources, because resource
waits blocked `ResourceStarting` before the tunnel initialization could
complete. Container and tunnel startup have been refactored to cooperate
correctly, and additional tunnel-dependent containers can now be started
at any point during the application lifecycle. Also improves error
reporting for container tunnel failures. (#​16988, backported via
#​16993)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.2 (#​17053)


## 13.3.1

# Aspire 13.3.1

## What's New in Aspire 13.3.1

Patch release for Aspire 13.3 with a regression fix for `aspire run` and
a DCP bump.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🏃 **`aspire run` compute environment validation** — Skip compute
environment validation in run mode so customers no longer hit `Resource
'<name>' is configured to publish as an Azure Container App, but there
are no 'AzureContainerAppEnvironmentResource' resources. Ensure you have
added one by calling 'AddAzureContainerAppEnvironment'.` errors during
local runs. The check is now only performed in publish mode, matching
pre-13.3 behavior. (#​16945, backported via #​16952)

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- ⬆️ Bumped DCP (Microsoft.DeveloperControlPlane) from 0.23.4 → 0.23.5
(#​16944)
- 🌐 Updated localization resources (#​16602)
- 🚀 Bumped branding to 13.3.1 (#​16951)

## 13.3.0

 # Aspire 13.3.0
 
Aspire 13.3 is here! 🚀 This release is packed with new ways to deploy,
debug, and build distributed apps — including `aspire destroy`, browser
telemetry in the dashboard, Kubernetes deployment, first-class
JavaScript publishing, and major TypeScript AppHost parity
 improvements.
 
 ## Highlights
 
- 🧹 **Clean teardown** — New **`aspire destroy`** tears down Azure,
Kubernetes, and Docker Compose deployments, and pipeline summaries make
deploy/publish/destroy runs easier to follow.
- 🔍 **Frontend telemetry** — **Aspire.Hosting.Browsers** captures
browser console logs, network requests, and screenshots right in the
Aspire dashboard.
- ☸️ **Kubernetes deploy preview** — **`aspire deploy`** can now
generate Helm-based Kubernetes deployments, with first-class Ingress and
Gateway API routing.
- 🟨 **JavaScript publishing** — New **`PublishAs*`** methods support
static sites, Node servers, npm-script apps, Next.js, Vite, Bun, Yarn,
and pnpm.
- 🌐 **TypeScript AppHost parity** — Unified `withEnvironment`, Docker
Compose hooks, endpoint expressions, Azure Container Apps domains, and
more close the gap with C# AppHosts.
- 🛠️ **CLI upgrades** — Run the standalone dashboard with **`aspire
dashboard run`**, install the CLI as a NativeAOT `dotnet tool`, and
search API docs from the terminal.
- ☁️ **Azure goodness** — New Azure Front Door, Network Security
Perimeter, AKS, private endpoint, and Foundry Prompt Agent support.
- 🐳 **Better containers** — The Aspire container tunnel is now enabled
by default for consistent host connectivity across Docker Desktop,
Docker Engine, and Podman.
 
 ## ⚠️ Breaking changes
 
Notable breaking changes include `--log-level` becoming
`--pipeline-log-level`, the dashboard MCP server being replaced by
`aspire agent init`, `dotnet new aspire-py-starter` moving to `aspire
new aspire-py-starter`, and several API shape updates across AKS,
Foundry, JavaScript diagnostics, and TypeScript AppHost helpers.

## 13.4.6

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.6

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 fixing polyglot AppHost code generation
binding when CLI and SDK versions diverge, resource service port
collision in `--isolated` mode, and a MongoDB.Driver dependency update.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔗 **Polyglot AppHost code generation silently failed when CLI and SDK
versions diverged** — `Aspire.TypeSystem` used a floating strong-name
`AssemblyVersion` that changed with every build. When the installed
Aspire CLI was built at a different version than the AppHost's SDK, the
CLR couldn't satisfy the strong-name bind and every code generator
(TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust) was silently dropped, surfacing as
`No code generator found for language: <lang>`. The `AssemblyVersion` is
now frozen at a stable constant so any compatible CLI/SDK pair on 13.4
binds successfully. Relates to #​18110 and #​17910.
([#​18160](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18160),
`@​sebastienros`)

- 🔌 **Multiple AppHosts started with `--isolated` collided on the
resource service port** — Both instances tried to bind to the same fixed
port from `ASPIRE_RESOURCE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_URL`, causing an "address
already in use" error on the second instance. `DashboardServiceHost` now
binds to port 0 on loopback when `RandomizePorts` is true (set by
`--isolated`), letting the OS assign a unique port per instance.
([#​18341](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18341), `@​JamesNK`)

- 🍃 **MongoDB.Driver updated to 3.9.0** — Removes a wrongly pinned
`SharpCompress` transitive dependency and uses the corrected `Snappier`
transitive. Fixes #​17981.
([#​18279](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18279),
`@​Falco20019`)

## 13.4.5

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.5

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 clearing a transitive MessagePack security
advisory, tightening CLI validation for Playwright configuration, and
adding coding-agent detection to CLI telemetry.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🛡️ **Bumped StreamJsonRpc to 2.25.29 to clear the MessagePack
GHSA-hv8m-jj95-wg3x (CVE-2026-48109) NU1903 advisory** — The transitive
MessagePack 2.5.192 dependency pulled in via StreamJsonRpc 2.22.23 fell
within the advisory's vulnerable LZ4 decompression range. Aspire does
not use `MessagePackFormatter` or LZ4 — all StreamJsonRpc calls use
`SystemTextJsonFormatter` over local Unix sockets — so the vulnerability
was not reachable in practice. The bump clears the NU1903 warning for
consumers of the `Aspire.Hosting` package.

- 🎭 **`playwrightCliVersion` values that are not valid SemVer 2.0 now
fail fast with a clear diagnostic** — Previously an invalid override
(range expression, dist-tag like `latest`, or a `v`-prefixed string)
would surface as a generic npm resolution failure. The value is now
validated with strict SemVer parsing at startup; an error naming the
configuration key and the offending value is emitted immediately.

- 🤖 **CLI telemetry now detects and reports the calling coding agent** —
When the Aspire CLI is invoked from inside a known coding agent
environment (GitHub Copilot CLI, VS Code Copilot agent, etc.) the agent
name is included in the main CLI telemetry event. GitHub Copilot CLI is
specifically identified as `copilot-cli`.

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

- 📄 Refreshed the `@​microsoft/aspire-cli` npm package README to be
TypeScript-only — updated examples to the current `ts-starter` template
(`apphost.mts` / `aspire.mjs`), added a backing-services snippet showing
`aspire add` for PostgreSQL and Redis, and documented `aspire dashboard
run` as a standalone dashboard option.

## 13.4.4

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.4

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with improved DCP connection reliability
during request execution and consistent `ExcludeFromMcp()` filtering
across all CLI MCP tools.

### 🐛 Fixes

* 🔌 **DCP requests could fail permanently when the connection dropped
mid-request** — If the underlying DCP channel closed while a request was
in flight, the error was surfaced directly instead of being retried.
Reconnection is now attempted as part of the DCP request retry path so
transient disconnections recover automatically without surfacing errors.
([#​18096](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/pull/18096),
`@​karolz-ms`)
* 🔍 **Resources marked with `ExcludeFromMcp()` were not consistently
filtered from CLI MCP tools** — Resources with the
`resource.excludeFromMcp` property were not excluded uniformly from all
CLI MCP tool results. `list_resources`, `list_console_logs`,
`execute_resource_command`, `list_structured_logs`, `list_traces`, and
`list_trace_structured_logs` all now honor the exclusion, preventing
excluded resources and their telemetry from appearing in agent context.

### 🏷️ Housekeeping

* 📦 Improved npm CLI package metadata and hardened npm publish
validation in the release pipeline.

## 13.4.3

## What's New in Aspire 13.4.3

Patch release for Aspire 13.4 with a fix for persistent container
endpoint allocation regressions introduced in 13.4.

### 🐛 Fixes

- 🔌 **Persistent container endpoints had incorrect default behavior** —
Persistent containers were defaulting to proxyless endpoint behavior
instead of the proxied behavior used by normal containers. This caused
integrations that depend on endpoint allocation before resource startup
(such as the KeyVault emulator) to fail. Persistent containers now
default to proxied endpoints matching normal container behavior; opt out
with `isProxied: false` or `WithEndpointProxySupport(false)`. Proxyless
container endpoints with only …
