Manual Group Bridge retired

CCCC Connect replaces manual Group Bridge for collaboration between instances linked to the same account. See the CCCC Connect guide.

The old invitation, pairing, message/read/full grants and remote tool endpoints are removed. Existing grants are not imported as account permissions. Original messages and instance identity remain; pending deliveries are closed with their confirmed, failed or unconfirmed outcome rather than retried through Connect. An unreadable old receipt is retained for inspection and reported in the daemon log; it does not keep a manual connection running.

Local cross-group messaging continues to work. To connect a specific Group with another member, use ⋮ → Group connections in the Group’s sidebar menu and confirm the invitation on the account website. Both members select their own Group; old manual grants are never imported. See the Connect guide.

For standalone connections without the account service, use Group connections → Direct connection. This uses the current scoped messaging and receipt engine, not the retired manual permissions or remote-tool endpoints. See Direct connections.
