Rocket 0.92.1

This release adds the Apple Silicon macOS preview and includes the latest
desktop fixes. Windows and Linux portable packages remain available.

Changes

  • macOS preview: native menus and Command shortcuts, system spelling for
    commit messages, Keychain-backed protected storage, system SSH, zsh terminal,
    repository notifications, and CJK/emoji fallbacks.
  • Isolated Mac Lua: a hash-bound Pulley helper inside Rocket.app, with
    bounded memory, cancellation and parent-exit cleanup. Windows and Linux keep
    their existing native sandboxes.
  • Mac update groundwork: verified downloads, cancellation and rollback are
    implemented; installation still requires Developer ID signing and notarization.
  • Search fields: text and placeholders align vertically with their icons.
  • Bundled Git startup: faster inventory and hashing without dropping any
    pinned-file verification; separate timing diagnostics help identify slow checks.
  • Security and recovery: refuse symlinked Unix MCP fixture markers, preserve
    useful Keychain errors without losing unsaved Lua code, and retain the selected
    terminal shell when using isolated history.

Packages

Platform Package Requirements
Windows x64 Rocket-0.92.1-windows-x64.zip Windows 10/11 x64; Git and required app-local runtimes are included.
Linux x64 Rocket-0.92.1-linux-x64.tar.gz glibc 2.43+, a desktop session and installed Git. Built and tested in Ubuntu 26.04 WSL; older distributions are not compatible with this archive.
macOS Apple Silicon Rocket-0.92.1-macos-arm64-preview.zip macOS 15+ and installed Git; Intel Macs are not supported by this package.

Extract into a new folder. Keep all helper executables and resources together.
Do not overwrite an app while it is running. Existing repositories, settings,
credentials and SSH keys are not included in these packages.

The Mac package is a preview: it is ad-hoc signed, not Developer-ID-signed or
notarized. It has passed Apple Silicon runner tests; physical Mac, IME/Retina and
normal-user shell/Keychain acceptance remain pending. This ZIP is for manual
installation and is deliberately not an in-app update archive. Rocket does not
disable Gatekeeper or relax its production update trust checks.

Verify a download

Each archive has a matching .sha256 file; the release also includes
SHA256SUMS. Compare the archive's SHA-256 with the published value before use.

PowerShell:

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\Rocket-0.92.1-windows-x64.zip

Linux:

sha256sum -c Rocket-0.92.1-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha256

macOS:

shasum -a 256 -c Rocket-0.92.1-macos-arm64-preview.zip.sha256

The extracted packages also contain inventories and per-file checksums. Checksums
detect mismatched bytes; they do not replace publisher signing or notarization.

Verification

Built from commit 671ce4b904fac5e56a0bd8aaf397e6faeb73e3ca. Windows: 12 extracted-package cases and five focused release gates passed. Linux: two actual-worker tests, real update-archive acceptance and five localhost MCP cases passed; repository fingerprints were unchanged. The optimized Mac app passed real-worker and package verification plus 14 localhost MCP scenario groups in the native build.

All archives were checked after extraction. The Mac preview remains unsigned by Developer ID and not notarized; real-device testing is still pending. No claim of fresh Windows 11 or broad Linux-distribution acceptance is made.
