Catalyst App v2.9.2

Offline Catalyst development tools and library installer for Windows and macOS.

• Bundles the published FrcCatalyst 2.0.0-rc.1 prerelease vendordep for Systemcore/WPILib 2027 alpha-7.
• Refreshes 11 browser tools, 36 reference pages and the MCP structural knowledge graph (8,608 nodes and 23,399 edges).
• Corrects the current installer and release-page labels. A new consistency test keeps the UI, vendordep, documentation and graph on the same library version.
• Bundles Catalyst Console 2.1.1 when packaging. Catalyst 1.12.0 remains the separate stable roboRIO/WPILib 2026 installation route.

Validation: 260 JavaScript tests passed. The release page was rendered and inspected at 1440 × 900. The signed Windows installer and updater metadata were downloaded and verified against GitHub's published digest and version.

Installing a vendordep does not update controller/device firmware or calibrate a robot. Use the library compatibility map for the target stack.

Catalyst App v1.4.3 — bundles Catalyst Console

The desktop app now ships the driver station dashboard with it.

Catalyst Console, bundled

Catalyst Console is included in this build. A Driver Console entry appears in the sidebar and on the home screen and launches it — no second download.

It is spawned detached rather than held as a child process: the console is a long-lived dashboard that outlives whatever you are doing in the app, and holding it would tie its lifetime to this window. The console enforces its own single instance, so pressing the button twice raises the one already running rather than starting a second.

The entry only appears if a console was actually bundled. The two have separate release cadences, and a button that says "not found" when you press it is worse than no button.

Installers

Both are attached below, so nobody has to run a bare .exe:

• Catalyst_1.4.3_x64_en-US.msi — 7.2 MB
• Catalyst_1.4.3_x64-setup.exe — 5.4 MB (NSIS)

Both grew from 1.4.0 by roughly the size of the bundled console.

Known gap

The auto-updater signature is not generated in this build — TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY was not set when it was packaged. In-app updates will not verify against it. Installing over the top works fine.
