Good morning. It's July 10th, 2026, and this is Onlook Design Updates.
Today's activity is small but important for anyone on the team running Windows: one fix that unblocks local project setup.
Here's the issue. Running the setup environment script would successfully set the CSB API key and the OpenRouter API key, but then fail immediately after with a file system error. The root cause, found in the API keys module, was a helper function that built file paths using a hardcoded forward slash. That works…
