RootMind 2.3.1

Fixed

• The agent could answer a question without ever searching the user's documents, most
  visibly on questions that sound like they are about private information ("do you know my
  tax number?"): some models fall back to a trained "I don't have access to that" refusal
  instead of trying the search_documents tool that exists for exactly that, and a soft
  prompt instruction ("start with search_documents") did not reliably override it on every
  model. The first LLM call of every query now forces a tool call (Anthropic
  tool_choice: {"type": "any"}, OpenAI/xAI tool_choice: "required"); later iterations in
  the same query are unaffected and the model can still answer once it has enough.

Downloads

File	What it is
RootMind-Setup-x64.exe	The Windows app with its background service (41.8 MB). Installs for all users of the computer and sets up the service for your account; needs one administrator approval, no Python.
RootMind-amd64.deb	The Linux app for Ubuntu and Debian: sudo apt install ./RootMind-amd64.deb. On its first start it sets up its background service as systemd user services of your account; no root needed for that.
RootMind-x86_64.rpm	The same for Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed: sudo dnf install ./RootMind-x86_64.rpm (openSUSE: sudo zypper install ./RootMind-x86_64.rpm).
RootMind-x86_64.AppImage	The same as an AppImage for other distributions, without installation: chmod +x RootMind-x86_64.AppImage, then run it (needs FUSE 2, libfuse2).
rootmind.mcpb	RootMind for Claude Desktop: double-click it and Claude Desktop installs it. Needs RootMind installed with Serve MCP over HTTP on (the default).
rootmind-backend-windows-x64.zip	The backend on its own for Windows, for the command line and servers. Not needed for the app.
rootmind-backend-linux-x64.tar.gz	The backend on its own for Linux (x86-64, glibc 2.35 or later), for the command line and servers. Not needed for the app.
SHA256SUMS.txt	SHA-256 checksums of these files.

Verify the download

The binaries are not code-signed yet. On the first start, Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" (choose More info, then Run anyway), and Smart App Control, when it is on, may block them; it has no exception for a single app. Check the files before you run them. The hash must match the line for the file in SHA256SUMS.txt:

(Get-FileHash .\RootMind-Setup-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash.ToLower()

sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS.txt
gh attestation verify RootMind-Setup-x64.exe --repo cgaeking/rootmind

Every file has a build provenance attestation that ties it to this repository and to the workflow run that built it.

Code signing policy

See CODE_SIGNING.md: the binaries are not code-signed yet; what will be signed, team roles and the privacy policy.
