v0.54.0

Minor Changes

• The canonical external origin setting is renamed from publicUrl to externalUrl across all three configuration surfaces: the config key is now server.externalUrl, the environment variable OK_EXTERNAL_URL, and the CLI flag ok start --external-url <url>. "Public" wrongly implied an internet-public, unauthenticated server; the field really names the external-facing origin, which commonly sits behind Tailscale, Cloudflare Access, or other edge auth. The old spellings — server.publicUrl, OK_PUBLIC_URL, and --public-url — keep working as deprecated aliases with identical semantics and precedence, and each use prints a deprecation notice naming the new spelling. They will be removed in a later release.

  One caution for shared (committed) configs: older app versions read only server.publicUrl and silently ignore server.externalUrl, so renaming the committed key strands collaborators who have not upgraded on a loopback-derived origin. While a team is mid-upgrade, commit both keys with the same value — new versions prefer server.externalUrl (no notice when both are set) and old versions keep reading server.publicUrl; drop the old key once everyone is current.
