FieldRook v0.5.0 — native Windows desktop (pre-release)

Pre-release. Binaries are unsigned and built from one validated machine;
second-PC field trials, AV-vendor acceptance, and upgrades are not yet validated.
Please verify checksums after download.

FieldRook 0.5.0 runs as a native Windows app: a WPF + WebView2 window (FieldRook.exe)
manages a packaged Python/FastAPI backend locally. No Python, Node, or admin rights needed
on the target. Localhost only.

What's new

  • Native shell: windowed app with single-instance guard, native file dialogs,
    drag-and-drop evidence import, controlled shutdown, first-run provider/consent tour.
  • SIGNALFORGE UI: redesigned Launchpad / Workbench / Evidence / Knowledge / Settings
    with Alive / Quiet / Off motion profiles and reduced-motion support.
  • Evidence-driven investigations intact: case history, Collector import with consent,
    hypotheses, technician observations, export, target-isolation protections.
  • Portable Collector (separate ZIP below): authorized read-only diagnostics into a
    versioned, hash-verified package for validated import.
  • Windows liveness fix: process-existence checks no longer signal the console
    (previously os.kill(pid, 0) could SIGINT the shared console).

Downloads

  • FieldRook-0.5.0.zip — portable app directory (unzip, run FieldRook.exe).
    Distribute the whole directory, not just the exe.
  • FieldRook-Collector-0.5.0.zip — portable collector directory (xcopy/USB friendly,
    runs from its own folder, no install).
  • SHA256SUMS-v0.5.0.txt — hashes of both ZIPs plus the executables inside them.
  • FieldRook-0.5.0-BOM.txt, FieldRook-Collector-0.5.0-BUILD-BOM.txt — build provenance
    (source commit, toolchain pins, artifact hashes, signing statement).

Verify after download (PowerShell): compare (Get-FileHash .\FieldRook-0.5.0.zip).Hash
against the line above, or check every line of SHA256SUMS-v0.5.0.txt.

Requirements

  • 64-bit Windows with the WebView2 Runtime (evergreen). If it is missing, the app
    shows install guidance instead of starting. No .NET install needed (self-contained).
  • No Python/Node, no admin, no services, no registry. Data lives in
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\FieldRook (delete the install dir + that folder to remove).

Known limitations (honest)

  • Binaries are unsigned (hash-verified, not code-signed): expect a SmartScreen prompt
    on first run from a download. AV-vendor acceptance has not been validated.
  • Collector packages are hash-verified, not cryptographically signed.
  • Second-PC field trials, upgrades, some elevated Collector categories, and varied
    hardware remain unvalidated. Local AI speed is hardware-dependent.
  • Field Kit Expansion is an interactive design prototype, not six functional
    tool modules in v0.5.0.
  • The demo video shows the production React UI in Chromium, not a native-window
    recording; native screenshots ship alongside it.

Validation behind this pre-release

Source dfae87e (tag v0.5.0); CI backend + frontend green on that SHA.
Backend 687 passed / E2E 47/47 / .NET 66/66 / gauntlet 38/38, plus frozen smoke
(lifecycle, refusal paths, collector import with provenance, persistence, export).
Native-window open/close on these exact binaries was not re-executed on the build
machine because the operator's instance holds the single-instance lock; the shipped
shell/UI code is byte-identical to the window-tested build.
