Validated against microsoft/aspire#18726 and the original failed-run intent. Revised the recovery to remove all three obsolete Dashboard AI configuration entries and removed misleading release-note additions for UI already documented as removed in 13.3.

| | ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ||
| | `ASPNETCORE_URLS` | `null` | Dashboard address. Must be `https` unless `ASPIRE_ALLOW_UNSECURED_TRANSPORT` or `DistributedApplicationOptions.AllowUnsecuredTransport` is true. Automatically generated with _launchSettings.json_ to have a random port on localhost. The value in launch settings is set on the `applicationUrls` property. | | ||
| | `ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT` | `Production` | Configures the environment the dashboard runs as. For more information, see [Use multiple environments in ASP.NET Core](https://learn.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/fundamentals/environments). | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_OTLP_ENDPOINT_URL` | `http://localhost:18889` if no gRPC endpoint is configured. | Configures the dashboard <abbr title="OpenTelemetry Protocol" data-tooltip-placement="top">OTLP</abbr> gRPC address. Used by the dashboard to receive telemetry over OTLP. Set on resources as the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` env var. The `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL` env var is `grpc`. Automatically generated with _launchSettings.json_ to have a random port on localhost. | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_OTLP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_URL` | `null` | Configures the dashboard OTLP HTTP address. Used by the dashboard to receive telemetry over OTLP. If only `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_OTLP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_URL` is configured then it is set on resources as the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` env var. The `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL` env var is `http/protobuf`. | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | `null` | Overrides the CORS allowed origins configured in the dashboard. This setting replaces the default behavior of calculating allowed origins based on resource endpoints. | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_UNSECURED_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS`| `false` | Configures the dashboard to not use authentication and accept anonymous access. Sets frontend, OTLP, <abbr title="Model Context Protocol" data-tooltip-placement="top">MCP</abbr>, and API auth modes to `Unsecured`. | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_FRONTEND_BROWSERTOKEN` | Automatically generated 128-bit entropy token. | Configures the frontend browser token. This is the value that must be entered to access the dashboard when the auth mode is BrowserToken. If no browser token is specified then a new token is generated each time the AppHost is launched. | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT` | `false` | Configures the dashboard to never send [usage telemetry](/dashboard/microsoft-collected-dashboard-telemetry/). | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_AI_DISABLED` | `true` | Reserved for future use. The in-dashboard GitHub Copilot UI was removed in Aspire 13.3. AI coding agents can still access telemetry data via the [Aspire CLI and MCP server](/dashboard/ai-coding-agents/). | | ||
| | `ASPIRE_DASHBOARD_API_ENABLED` | `true` | Enables the dashboard [telemetry API](/dashboard/configuration/#api) (`/api/telemetry/*`) endpoints. The AppHost always sets this to `true`. | |

Documents changes from microsoft/aspire#18726
@JamesNKTargeting
release/13.5based on the source PR milestone13.5(exact match onmicrosoft/aspire.dev).Why
microsoft/aspire#18726 removes the remaining in-dashboard AI Assistant chat UI (
AssistantChat,AssistantModalDialog,AssistantSidebarDialog,ExplainErrorsButton) and the entireModel/Assistantdirectory, along with theDashboard:AI:Disabledconfiguration option (AIOptions/DashboardAIDisabledremoved fromDashboardOptions.csandPostConfigureDashboardOptions.cs). Signals triggered:dashboard_api_endpoint_changed(TelemetryApiService.csdropped itsModel.Assistantusing and inlined a helper),dashboard_user_facing_page_changed(Resources/ConsoleLogs/StructuredLogs/Traces/TraceDetail pages droppedAIContextusage), andnew_public_type(ViewportSizeChangedEventArgsextracted inDimensionManager.csas part of removing the AI sidebar width tracking).The docs previously described
Dashboard:AI:Disabledas "Reserved for future use," which is now stale since the option and its backing code no longer exist.Changes
dashboard/configuration.mdx: Removed theDashboard:AI:Disabledrow from the configuration options table (option no longer exists).whats-new/aspire-13-5.mdx: Added a bullet under "Dashboard and telemetry improvements" and a new breaking-change entry (Integrations plus #7) explaining the AI Assistant chat removal and directing users to the Aspire CLI/MCP server for AI-assisted debugging.Files modified
