docs: daily update 2026-08-03 — release v4.163.0

[deco-cms]

Release v4.163.0 (previous: v4.162.0)

Range evaluated: v4.162.0...v4.163.0 (compare: v4.162.0...v4.163.0)

Depends on: #5593 (docs/auto-update-2026-08-03-release-4.163.1) — this PR branches from its HEAD and should be merged after it (which in turn depends on #5580, which depends on #5574, etc.). Note: release v4.163.1 is chronologically after v4.163.0; its docs PR was opened first because releases were evaluated out of order. This PR fills in the v4.163.0 gap and should be merged in tag order relative to the others in the chain.

Commits covered

• fa7a2e391 (feat(native): run Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode in xterm terminals #5557) — feat(native): run Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode in xterm terminals — warranted a docs update. This reworks Studio Native (the Tauri desktop app) so that starting a brand-new native thread shows a "Choose a coding agent" picker (Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode) instead of the normal chat composer, launching the chosen CLI as a live, interactive xterm.js terminal in the thread. OpenCode is a genuinely new third option; Claude Code and Codex existed before but are newly run as real interactive terminals rather than through the older structured-chat path. This is a new, user-facing concept with zero prior documentation.
• 889f89fab — [chore]: bump homebrew cask to 4.162.0 — skipped: bot version-bump commit, no user-facing change.
• 412c76937 — [release]: bump changed workspace versions — skipped: this is the release-tag commit itself; its diff is only a package.json version bump.

Changed doc files (English)

• studio/agents.mdx — added a new "Studio Native: coding-agent terminals" subsection under "Where an agent runs," describing the new picker, the three CLI options, detection/"try anyway" behavior, the per-thread cms MCP connection, and that this is unrelated to (and does not replace) the managed Decopilot cloud runtime.
• studio/quickstart.mdx — fixed a stale cross-reference: the runtime-picker description still said "where the agent runs — cloud or your own machine," left over from before an earlier docs PR (docs: daily update 2026-08-02 — release v4.160.2 (remove desktop link feature) #5574, still open/unmerged) removed the old local-runtime (deco link) section from agents.mdx. Updated to drop the now-inaccurate "or your own machine" claim.

pt-br counterparts (agents.mdx, quickstart.mdx) were auto-translated and updated in the same commit set (technical terms, code, URLs, and UI labels kept in English per convention).

Consistency notes

• studio/ai-providers.mdx has a "Local-only providers" section describing Claude Code/Codex as AI-provider options when self-hosting Studio locally via bunx -p decocms deco. This is a distinct, still-valid mechanism (self-hosted Studio server, not the Studio Native desktop app or its terminal picker) — left unchanged, but flagged here in case a human reviewer judges it now reads as redundant with the new Studio Native section.
• studio/concepts.mdx's "agent workspace" runtime-picker description does not claim a local-machine option, so no fix needed there.
• Did not create a new top-level doc page for Studio Native, since the site's navigation order is defined in apps/docs/client/src/utils/navigation.ts, which is outside apps/docs/client/src/content/deco-studio/ and out of scope for this automation to edit — a new page would be orphaned from prev/next navigation. Added the content as a subsection of the closest existing relevant page (agents.mdx) instead.
• Confirmed via git history that PR docs: daily update 2026-08-02 — release v4.160.2 (remove desktop link feature) #5574 (open, unmerged, release v4.160.2) already removed the old deco link/Link Daemon local-runtime section from agents.mdx, architecture.mdx, and decopilot/overview.mdx. This PR's branch is built on top of that removal (via the docs: daily update 2026-08-03 — release v4.163.1 #5593 chain), so no conflict — the new Studio Native section is additive and describes a different, newer mechanism.

Summary by cubic

Docs update for v4.163.0: adds Studio Native coding-agent terminals and a new Task Board guide, and updates self-hosting docs (env-based auth, Go sandbox image, optional daemon telemetry).

• New Features

  • Studio Native threads can launch coding CLIs as live terminals (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) via a one-time picker; per-thread MCP cms is wired; “try anyway” is available if a CLI isn’t detected.
  • New Task Board page covering QA Agent, Code Reviewer, auto-merge, and “Ship to production”.
  • Repo picker shows forks; importing requires the GitHub App to have access to the fork.
  • Optional sandbox daemon OTLP telemetry for Kubernetes; point telemetry.otlp.ip at the collector’s ClusterIP.

• Migration

  • Self-hosting auth is now AUTH_* environment variables only; auth-config.json is removed. Update Compose/Helm to set providers via env.
  • Sandbox image is Go-only: use ghcr.io/decocms/studio/studio-sandbox-go (no ts/go switch).
