@bworlds/launchkit

Monitoring, error capture, and access gating SDK for AI-built apps. Drop-in integration for Lovable, Bolt, and Base44.

Available on npm: @bworlds/launchkit

Documentation: docs.bworlds.co/docs/guides/sdk covers both install paths and what each signal reports.

Features

• Heartbeat monitoring: automatic uptime tracking, sends a pulse every 5 minutes
• Error capture: catches uncaught errors, unhandled rejections, failed network requests, and console errors; batches and forwards them with readable messages for any thrown value. Errors captured while a session recording is active are linked to that recording, so they show up inside the session on the BWORLDS dashboard
• Session replay identity: automatically attaches Supabase Auth email / userId to replays in Lovable-style apps when available
• Access gating: token-based session validation with redirect to a hosted access page
• Trust badge widget: optional floating "Runs on BWORLDS" pill, toggled from the BWORLDS dashboard (no consumer-side flag)
• Zero config: works with a single buildSlug, no API key required. All settings are managed remotely from the BWORLDS dashboard.
• Lightweight: works in any browser environment
• CDN-ready: use via npm or a <script> tag from unpkg

Install

npm install @bworlds/launchkit

Quick Start

import { init } from '@bworlds/launchkit';

// ── 1. Initialize once (app entry point) ─────────────────
const launchkit = init({ buildSlug: 'my-app' });
// Activates heartbeat monitoring and error tracking automatically.

// ── 2. Gate any protected page ────────────────────────────
const session = await launchkit.check();
if (!session.valid) redirect(launchkit.getGateUrl());
// Redirects unauthenticated users to the BWORLDS access page.

// session.email, session.accessType are available when valid

Replace my-app with your build slug from the BWORLDS dashboard.

Local development against a BWorlds dev stack

When developing a consumer app against a locally-running BWorlds stack (or a PR preview), override the two hosted defaults via config. Both options are drop-in — the built-in gate overlay and redirect keep working, they just point at your local instance.

init({
  buildSlug: 'my-app',
  apiEndpoint: 'http://localhost:3941', // telemetry + token validation
  gateOrigin: 'http://localhost:3939',  // /access/:slug redirect target
});

The SDK scopes all telemetry to the build's registered URL origin. During local development your app runs on localhost, which won't match. Pass dev: true to bypass the origin check:

init({
  buildSlug: 'my-app',
  apiEndpoint: 'http://localhost:3941', // telemetry + token validation
  gateOrigin: 'http://localhost:3939',  // /access/:slug redirect target
  dev: true,                            // bypass origin-scope guard
});

In practice both should be driven from env vars so production falls back to the hosted defaults (undefined → SDK default):

init({
  buildSlug: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BWORLDS_BUILD_SLUG || 'my-prod-slug',
  apiEndpoint: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BWORLDS_API_ENDPOINT || undefined,
  gateOrigin: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_BWORLDS_ORIGIN || undefined,
  dev: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
});

Leave the env vars unset in production and the behavior matches the hosted BWorlds exactly. Do not ship dev: true in production — it bypasses the origin guard entirely.

Legacy workaround (pre-1.5.0)

If you're stuck on @bworlds/launchkit < 1.5.0 (no gateOrigin support), disable the built-in gate and redirect manually — at the cost of losing the "Verifying access..." overlay:

const launchkit = init({ buildSlug: 'my-app', apiEndpoint: 'http://localhost:3941', gate: false });

launchkit.check().then((r) => {
  if (!r.valid) window.location.href = `http://localhost:3939/access/my-app`;
}).catch(() => {});

Upgrade to 1.5.0+ to drop the workaround.

How it works

All behavior is configured remotely from the BWORLDS dashboard. The SDK fetches its configuration at startup, no client-side options needed beyond buildSlug.

For Supabase Auth apps, LaunchKit automatically attempts to attach the signed-in user's email and id to session replays. The public install snippet stays the same. Detection supports the standard auth keys and custom storageKey names in localStorage and readable Supabase cookies, including chunked and base64url-encoded cookies.

During discovery, readable cookies take priority over localStorage, and standard Supabase key names take priority within each source. For custom names, the SDK bounds candidate sizes and locally inspects the session shape and JWT claims (iss, sub, exp, iat, role). It selects the most recently issued unexpired candidate without network calls or signature verification. Only session.user.email and session.user.id are attached to replays; Supabase access tokens, refresh tokens, JWT claims, user metadata, and application table data are not sent to BWORLDS.

Discovery retries every two seconds until a session is found. The bridge then follows that same storage key or cookie, decoding only when its value changes. Removal clears the automatic identity; logging in again at the same location restores it. Token expiration does not clear an identity after discovery: Supabase owns token refresh and logout. Changing the storage location requires restarting the bridge or reloading the page. HttpOnly cookies, server-only sessions, and sessions that store the user separately from the token are outside this heuristic; apps can use identify() or connectSupabase() explicitly.

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | Heartbeat | Automatic uptime pulse | | Error capture | Uncaught errors, unhandled rejections, failed network requests, and console errors, batched with readable messages for any thrown value and linked to the active session recording when one is running | | Session replay | rrweb-based session replay with automatic Supabase Auth email/id enrichment when available | | Access gating | Token-based session validation with hosted access page | | Trust badge | Floating "Runs on BWORLDS" pill, toggled from the dashboard |

All requests are write-only and identified by buildSlug. No API key required.

Expected empty network responses

A backend can mark a normal empty lookup with X-BWorlds-Expected-State: empty. LaunchKit recognizes this marker only on a GET response with status 404. It omits the response from product errors and, when replay network telemetry is enabled, keeps the request in diagnostics with expectedState: "empty". Cross-origin APIs must expose this header through Access-Control-Expose-Headers.

Set the marker only after access checks confirm that the requested parent resource exists and the optional result is absent. Unmarked 404 responses, other methods, and other error statuses remain reportable. A 404 read within five seconds of a successful DELETE of the same URL also remains an error; successfulDeleteAgeMs records that correlation without treating it as an expected absence.

Expected request cancellations

Mark cancellations at the point where the request owner stops needing the work:

import { abortExpectedRequest } from '@bworlds/launchkit/cancellation';

const controller = new AbortController();
const request = fetch('/api/builds/my-build/events', { signal: controller.signal });
// Handle the rejection in the caller as usual.
request.catch(error => {
  if (error?.name !== 'AbortError') console.error(error);
});

// In the owning component's cleanup:
abortExpectedRequest(controller, 'cleanup');

Use navigation when leaving the owning page and replacement when newer work supersedes the request. The helper is also exported from @bworlds/launchkit; the /cancellation entry point does not load monitoring or replay code.

The original fetch rejection is preserved. Only a rejection identical to the aborted request signal's explicitly marked reason is omitted from network product errors. When replay network telemetry is enabled, the raw request stays available with status 0, its failure reason and expectedState: "cancelled". Unknown aborts, AbortSignal.timeout, other timeout controllers, genuine network failures, and HTTP error responses remain reportable. Do not use the helper for timeouts. Unhandled rejections and console errors are still captured normally.
