* fix: harden events dispatch, single delivery and KV share handles Dispatch: a filtered subscription used the anchor path stored at subscribe time, so renaming or moving the anchor folder silently ended its deliveries; dispatch now resolves the anchor's live path from the event's own ancestor chain. A move out of a watched folder now reaches that folder's subscribers, with `from` only for rows that watched the source side. Gap markers are authorized like deliveries and coalesced per subscription and subject instead of fanning per lost event. Session subscriptions: the per-socket cap decides on the write, not before it; an orphaned watched-set token heals on refresh; durable rows keep their watch window when a session subscribe touches the same keys. `self` is false when the acting user is unknown. Single delivery: a subscription in backoff or suspended with a backlog pinned the sweeper's head and starved everyone behind it — the sweep now defers it. Only a settled handler run bills a delivery. A socket-only account row no longer wedges after two attempts nobody received. The lease is twice the handler timeout; remote candidates have their own attempt counter; the region depth reconcile runs once a minute region-wide with a bounded scan. KV share handles: a grantee no longer sees the owner's namespace and absolute prefix on the subscribe answer or listing, nor in the delivery token; revoking a wider handle retires the handles it covers; minting the same handle twice returns the existing one, after the delegation check; a row whose event cannot be re-based onto its handle is dropped rather than delivered raw. * fix: presence survives replication, long sessions and region churn One presence item per (user, app) with per-region map fields lost a region whenever two regions joined inside the replication window, and nothing ever put it back. Presence is now one item per (user, app, region): each region writes only its own, a leave or repair retires it conditionally on its own write stamp, and a read is a prefix query. Items carry a 48 h ttl refreshed by a claim-gated write off the existing socket renew path, at most once per 12 h, so a tab that stays connected keeps its region in the row. A region that answered "no socket" or completed a leave releases a shared pin, so a reconnect on another node rejoins and a flapping client cannot force a replicated write per cycle. Cached rows expire after a minute; unaddressable region names are filtered and pruned; relayed acks settle under a bounded concurrency; the forward queue is bounded in bytes as well as items. * feat: indexes for the event_subscriptions hot queries Handler publish, remove and listing, and the hourly expiry and suspension sweeps, all scanned `event_subscriptions`. Adds (app_uid, handler_name), (expires_at) and (suspended_at, id), guarded on every engine. Existing migrations: the postgres widens are now guarded so a boot does not take an exclusive lock for a no-op, the kv_share_handles grantee FK gets an index, the sqlite notification rebuild is transactional and idempotent. * fix: notification writes go through the registry The driver's `create` bypassed the type registry, producing uncatalogued rows with no size bound; it now requires a registered type, caps the payload, and answers 400 rather than 500 for a bad one. `mark_acknowledged` emits the ack other tabs listen for, and only when a row was actually changed. * fix: the handler scanner, unsubscribe, and the in-tab handler environment The free-variable scanner skipped arrows inside a declaration's initializer, so `const ids = event.items.map(x => x.id)` was refused, and treated a name after a comma in a nested initializer as bound, so a real free variable slipped through to fail on first delivery. `unsubscribe()` now drops the durable routing entry so the events socket can close. A broadcast handler running in the tab gets `user` and `fetch` like the worker gives it. `single` without a handler name is refused before the round trip. * docs: events limits, error codes and the background-workers section Retention is deployment-configured rather than a fixed 14 days, and the template no longer ships it armed. Documents `events_terminal`, the two per-event gap reasons, the subject length and listing caps, the `from` field on moves, and the handle-relative anchor. The sessions manager hides the background-workers section when the server has none to show. * feat: a background handler acts as the app does for its user A handler's `user` was a five-minute access token scoped to the subscription's `list` grant, which could stat the changed file but not read it, and could not reach the app's KV or AppData — so an app told that a file was written could do nothing with it. It now runs with the same authority the app has for that user in a tab: an app-under-user worker session, one row per (user, app) named `events:handlers`, visible and revocable in the sessions list. The `events:background` consent is what authorizes running it unattended, and is re-checked before every mint. The wider token exposed two things: puter.js opens a filesystem socket the moment it has a token, which would have parked the isolate in the app's own delivery room and steered deliveries at it; the events client now opts out of sockets (and the per-open bookkeeping) before construction, and is memoized per token in the isolate. And four filesystem operations assumed a socket exists; they no longer do.

Puter.js gives you auth, cloud storage, database, AI, and more through a single JavaScript library. It is the go-to backend for AI-generated apps.
There is nothing to configure, no API keys, no infrastructure to set up, whether you write the code yourself or have your AI tool do it. Tools like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Lovable, and Replit can generate complete, production-ready apps in a single shot with fewer AI tokens.

Usage Example
After importing, you can use the global puter object:
// Print a message
puter.print('Hello from Puter.js!');
// Chat with GPT-5 nano
puter.ai.chat('What color was Napoleon\'s white horse?').then(response => {
puter.print(response);
});
Starter Templates
You can also use one of the following templates:
- Client-side projects: Angular, React, Next.js, Vue.js, Vanilla.js
- Node.js + Express: Node.js + Express template
Setting Custom Origins
By default puter.js uses the official Puter API and GUI origins. You can customize these origins by setting global variables before importing the SDK like so:
// For API origin
globalThis.PUTER_API_ORIGIN = 'https://custom-api.puter.com';
// For GUI origin
globalThis.PUTER_ORIGIN = 'https://custom-gui.puter.com';
import {puter} from '@heyputer/puter.js'; // or however you import it for your env
