🚀 Biggest win this week: **ElizaOS got a major stability + portability boost** — from **secure secrets storage (Vault)** to **smoother self-hosted + mobile/desktop builds**.

**Week of 2026-04-27 to 2026-05-03 highlights:**
- 🔐 **@elizaos/vault shipped**: cross-platform encrypted secrets (OS keychain where available) + Settings UI integration, plus `apiKeyRef` plumbing for safer provider switching.
- 🌐 **Self-hosted improvements**: CORS upgrades + **bearer auth support** so browser dashboards, Capacitor mobile builds, and Electrobun desktop builds can reliably connect to remote agents (`ELIZA_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` added).
- 🧩 **ESM compatibility fixes across plugins**: removed incompatible CJS bundles in key plugins (Ollama/OpenAI/OpenRouter/PDF) to align with ESM-only `@elizaos/core`.
- 🐧 **Headless Linux crash fixed**: prevented OS keychain segfaults when D-Bus isn’t available by safely bypassing keychain + using passphrase fallback when needed.
- 🪟 **CI/CD hardened**: Windows Server 2025 installer smoke tests now handle bogus Inno Setup exit codes correctly; Node bumped to **v24** in relevant tooling.

**Community shoutouts & discussions:**
- 🧠 **sentient_dawn** shared deep research + a production-tested mitigation for **“memory rot”** in long-lived agents (freshness gates + reconciliation passes).
- 📈 **marianodim** is building a **spot trading agent** (SOL, SUI + 5 more) with multi-strategy signals (testing soon, ~1–2 signals/week).  
- 🤖 Bonus: **shawmakesmagic** demo’d Eliza controlling a Unitree robot.

**AI16z / auto.fun:** No new public exchange updates (listing talks stay NDA). auto.fun chatter continues—keep building.

🔜 **Next up:** Telegram connector fixes (token passing, Bun launch, dual-polling race), MiladyClient/auth schema cleanup, and ongoing repo/cloud + plugin structure work.
