Torvian Chatbot v0.8.0 adds sandboxed worker tools for file and web operations

Torvian Chatbot has released version 0.8.0, introducing built-in worker tools that enable sandboxed file and web operations within an isolated workspace. This update enhances user control through signed authorization and human-in-the-loop approval, though the `run_command` function currently lacks guardrails. The self-hosted, open-source chatbot also features a full management UI for each worker and is available across multiple platforms. AI

IMPACT Enhances self-hosted chatbot capabilities with integrated file and web operations for developers.

RANK_REASON This is a new version release of a self-hosted, open-source chatbot, which falls under the 'tool' category rather than a frontier release.
