Orchestrator remains alpha. This is the current complete alpha distribution, replacing alpha 2 for desktop and signed Android installations.

Prepared teams, automatic local briefs, personal projects/money/coaching/agenda workflows, and the latest monochrome interface are now included in the desktop downloads. Existing assistants and records are retained; Compass prepares a local overview, and additional roles are available under Team > Add prepared team.

Version correction

The earlier 0.2.0-beta.1 and 0.2.0-beta.2 names were development labels, not an approved move to beta. PR #11's features and PR #14's interface are preserved. PR #16 records the correction as a new commit without rewriting shared history. Historical tags, releases, QA APKs and their original evidence remain available. The signed alpha continues as 0.1.0-alpha.3; Android versionCode advances to 5, so the corrected display version does not downgrade the app.

Upgrade while preserving your data

  1. Stop your current gateway and back up its entire workspace directory, including its database and encryption key. Preserve any externally configured master key.
  2. Extract the new desktop archive into a new program folder, then launch it with the same workspace path and configuration. Do not copy a fresh database over your existing workspace.
  3. Install the signed APK below over the signed alpha app. Do not uninstall or clear app data. The application ID and signing certificate are unchanged. Historical .debug QA apps remain separate and are not the upgrade route.
  4. Check your records and settings before retiring the previous program. Updating only the phone does not update the gateway. There is no automatic updater.

Validation

Type checks and 101 application tests; 75 browser checks (3 device-applicability skips); 4 packaging/path tests; actual native desktop smoke checks on all six targets; Android build/unit tests/lint and 13 native emulator journeys; Docker and CodeQL checks. The signed alpha 2 to alpha 3 upgrade was exercised without clearing or uninstalling, retaining encrypted records, key, custom assistant, report review, watch, project, knowledge, layout, desktop theme/session, and phone origin/session. Reviewed actual upgraded desktop/phone screenshots.

release-manifest.json identifies the exact source commit, successful CI runs, APK signer/version, artifact hashes and final upgrade evidence. SHA256SUMS.txt covers the six desktop archives, signed APK and manifest. Desktop bundles include Node.js and remain unsigned portable archives. The APK is signed and non-debuggable.

This is still pre-release software. Physical-phone/TalkBack and live-provider acceptance remain separate from emulator and fixture QA. Cross-version workspace upgrade was directly tested on Windows x64; other desktop platforms passed their native packaging/smoke checks. See the tagged documentation for scope and remaining limits.
