CaoGen v0.1.8 Release Notes
Release Decision
v0.1.8 is the selected signed and notarized macOS Intel x64 release. The five
assets below are the complete upload set for this version on GitHub Releases.
This is a verified 0.1.x desktop delivery, not a claim that the full CaoGen 1.0
product acceptance matrix is complete.
Highlights
- First-task recovery now preserves the selected project, directory, execution
mode, permission mode, routing choice, Provider, model, Studio page, and user
draft while Provider catalogs load or a Provider must be repaired. - Session drafts survive renderer reloads and app restarts without persisting API
keys, Provider Base URLs, or model responses, and are cleared only after the
first task is accepted. - Composer, Browser annotation, and artifact Preview sends preserve user input
when the runtime is busy or rejects a request, and unavailable actions no
longer appear successful. - Fixed Provider/model selection remains stable across execution-mode changes;
automatic routing and same-Provider key failover retain explicit health,
budget, timeout, and failure boundaries. - Approved Skill and MCP content is rechecked before runtime use so disabled,
changed, or unapproved capabilities fail closed instead of relying only on a
settings-screen decision. - Project delivery stages retain Artifact, Evidence, Acceptance, and version
lineage across tested abrupt process termination and recovery points. - The packaged application declares its native syntax-tree loader directly;
release packaging fails if the loader is absent, and the candidate is launched
from an isolated user-data directory before publication.

Truth Boundary
- CaoGen is a multi-vendor, local-first AI work desktop with Provider/model
configuration, project rules, code execution, task orchestration, workspace
isolation, plugins, project memory, file preview, and 3D office visualization. - Supported model runtimes use compatible HTTP APIs. Availability depends on
real keys, account access, network conditions, quotas, and protocol compatibility. - The base distribution does not embed or require an external agent CLI login or
CLI runtime. - Planning-layer orchestration is not a claim of unrestricted autonomous external
execution, merging, pushing, or publishing. - Multiple encrypted keys and error-driven same-Provider failover are verified.
Universal cross-Provider continuity and every third-party protocol variant are
not claimed. - This release contains macOS Intel x64 assets only. Apple Silicon, Windows,
Linux, native phone/tablet clients, full 1.0 acceptance, and the private
30-minute migration drill are outside this release claim. - AGPL-compliant commercial use does not require a separate license. Proprietary
integration or distribution rights require a signed written commercial agreement.
Known Blockers
- No Apple Silicon, Windows, Linux, phone, or tablet installer is included in
v0.1.8. - External Provider connectivity still depends on the user's network,
credentials, account, quota, regional availability, and service compatibility. - The full 1.0 acceptance matrix remains open; v0.1.8 is not 1.0 stable.
- First-user onboarding and the 30-minute migration path still require validation
with people outside the project. - Public mobile remote control, independent background runners, and several real
external-service workflows remain later product work rather than v0.1.8 claims.
Security Statement
The repository and public release assets do not include real keys, webhooks,
certificates, private keys, signing material, filled .env files, test-results,
out, dist, node_modules, local evidence packs, logs, or private URLs.
If any real credential is ever pushed, shared, or uploaded, deleting the public
copy is insufficient; the credential must also be rotated or revoked at its
Provider.
