Open-source agent substrate that directly addresses prompt-injection isolation — relevant to MCP/agent builders.

Worth mentioning

1.
Open-source agent substrate that directly addresses prompt-injection isolation — relevant to MCP/agent builders.
peerd is an open-source (Apache 2.0) in-browser AI agent harness that leverages the browser sandbox and p2p WebRTC for agent isolation and A2A without external middlemen.
⚠ Uncertainty: Early v0.x preview; not yet in Chrome/AMO stores and the wasm-Linux layer depends on a non-open-source engine.

Platform capability that lets solo builders own auth without extra vendors.
Cloudflare made Self-Managed OAuth available to all developers via a zero-downtime migration of its core OAuth engine.
⚠ Uncertainty: Exact limits/pricing of the self-managed tier not detailed in the captured summary.
