# Helix 0.88.0: Auth alias writes are atomic

> Two auth aliases written at once could silently lose one of them. Writes are now serialized, and an alias may match a key used elsewhere in the config.

- Released: 5 Aug 2026 (2026-08-05)
- Packages: @trayai/helix-cli@0.88.0

## Headline changes

### Fixed: Concurrent auth alias writes no longer drop an alias

Two writes racing could silently lose one of them, leaving a project missing a credential it appeared to have connected. Writes are now serialized and atomic.

## Other changes

### Fixed

- `helix auth add` accepts an alias that matches a key elsewhere in `helix.config.ts` (docs: https://helix.tray.ai/documentation/reference/cli/auth/)
  An alias colliding with a key under `config:` was rejected, even though the two live in different parts of the file.
