CORA Releases | Horizon Labs

v0.1.4-beta Current

September 2026 · public beta

This is the version served from the download page. Product pages live at horizon-labs.io/cora.

Optional local AI enrichment runs on your machine after the normal index.
A product scope beacon helps agents stay aligned with your documented goals and non-goals.
Change briefs can flag work that looks outside the plan — as guidance, not a block.
Enrichment is faster with the updated local model; first download may still take a while.

Install or upgrade to v0.1.4-beta via the Horizon Labs download flow.
Allow Docker to pull the updated images (first enrichment download may take a while).
Run a refresh in your project, then reload MCP in your editor.

September 2026 · public beta · superseded

Superseded by v0.1.4-beta. Product pages live at horizon-labs.io/cora.

Change briefs: Ask for cora_change_brief with your change request and target file. You get a structured narrative (impact, validation, unknowns) plus graph-backed enrichment summaries.
Local enrichment: With ai.provider: local, CORA builds file guidance from the dependency graph during refresh/index — no separate enrich container required for day-to-day Cursor use.
Better search: Queries like “mcp gate registry” prefer MCP enforcement code over unrelated auth/registry files. Search results include ranking scores and deduplicated paths.
Safer containers: Runtime image upgraded to Alpine 3.23 (patched SQLite, no vulnerable curl in cora-core). Hardened runtime: read-only root, dropped capabilities, pip removed from final layer.

August 2026 · public beta · superseded

This is the version served from the download page. Product pages live at horizon-labs.io/cora.

Clearer project context for your editor: search focuses on the source that matters, change impact and patch plans work better from a file path alone (including bug-fix style work), and Go projects get richer file context from imports.
CORA confirms your Horizon Labs sign-in online before the MCP server starts. Stay signed in and online when you first enable or restart CORA after an upgrade.
More reliable install and sign-in, and more consistent MCP reconnect after a stop.
Product, docs, and download are at horizon-labs.io/cora.

18 August 2026 · public beta · superseded

Sign in with your Horizon Labs account, then download cora-installer over a short-lived link. You no longer need a GitHub account, GitHub CLI, or permission on the CORA source repository.
The installer uses the same sign-in to fetch cora-cli.

June 2026 · first public beta · superseded

Two-binary distribution: cora-installer (bootstrap) and cora-cli (install, refresh, hooks, doctor, upgrade).
Gated download with Cognito on the Horizon Labs site.
CLI login for private container images and Google / email sign-in.
