Quill v0.7.0 — ZCode Sync Round 4 + 8 New Framework Features + Out-of-the-Box Desktop

Quill v0.7.0 — ZCode Sync Round 4

Systematic evaluation of 11 leading harness frameworks (ZCode v3.14.3 full-source, OpenWork, DeepSeek Harness, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Kimi Code, OpenAI Codex, awesome-harness-engineering, DeerFlow 2.1, Agent Framework 1.19, CrewAI). Eight new feature systems ported:

Feature	Ported from	Module
Off-Peak Tasks (闲时任务) — ticket-admitted deferred execution with expiry detection + auto re-ticket	ZCode	scheduling/offpeak.ts
CommandInbox — serial message queueing while the agent is busy	ZCode	agents/inbox/
Git Checkpoints & Rewind — hidden-repo workspace snapshots, per-file restore	ZCode	runtime/checkpoints.ts
Bash Read-Only Policy — argv analysis auto-approves read-only commands (git/gh/npm semantics)	ZCode	guardrails/bash_readonly_policy.ts
Auto Review — 3-tier risk classification; exfiltration across trust boundaries hard-denied	DeepSeek Harness	guardrails/auto_review.ts
Durable Kanban Board — lease-based claims, stale reclaim, dispatcher	Hermes Agent	multi_agent/kanban.ts
ObservationPack — content-addressed obs:// handles for large tool results with exact paged recall	SoL-Pi (NVIDIA)	agents/middlewares/observation_pack.ts
Skill Attribution — "this answer used skill X"	OpenWork	skills/attribution.ts

🖥️ Desktop app now works out of the box

Previous packaged builds could not self-start their backend or render the UI. This release ships the full stack inside the app:

• Backend (gateway + compiled code + production dependencies) and the Next.js UI server are bundled as app resources
• The app auto-starts the gateway (:8200) and UI server (:3100) on launch and opens the UI — no make dev needed
• First run seeds a default config.yaml into the app data directory
• Child-process logs are written to ~/Library/Application Support/com.quill.desktop/logs/ (or the platform equivalent)
• Clean shutdown: no orphan processes after quit
• Requirement: Node.js 18+ on the system (the app searches PATH, Homebrew, Volta, nvm, fnm)

Verified end-to-end on macOS Apple Silicon: launch → gateway healthy → UI renders → API calls succeed → clean quit with zero leftover processes.

🐛 Fixes

• Evaluation pass^k aliasing bug (trial-0 score mutated mid-aggregation, misreporting failures)
• GUI-context backend crash: .scitops state dir now resolves against the project root instead of the process cwd (was mkdir /.scitops)
• Node discovery in GUI context (launchd PATH lacks Homebrew/Volta)
