Ghostlight 0.1.0 alpha

This release contains the first downloadable Ghostlight macOS application and the single-profile Linux runtime.

Included

  • Universal macOS application for Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 or later.
  • Persistent Chromium profile hosted by the digest-pinned Ghostlight viewer image.
  • Stateless control discovery, saved macOS reconnection, profile backup and restore, and synthetic persistence tests.
  • VP8 WebRTC measurement tooling and privacy-audited acceptance screenshots.

Install

  1. Download Ghostlight-0.1.0-macos-universal.zip, BUILD-INFO.txt, and SHA256SUMS from this release. The build receipt records the exact source revision, Swift toolchain, supported architectures, signing state, and archive digest.
  2. Verify the archive and build receipt with shasum -a 256 --check SHA256SUMS in the download directory.
  3. Extract the ZIP and move Ghostlight.app to /Applications.
  4. Follow the Linux runtime setup in the repository README before opening the app.

The application has an ad-hoc code signature. It has no Developer ID signature or notarization ticket. Control-click Ghostlight.app, select Open, and confirm the first launch if macOS blocks a normal double-click.

Acceptance boundary

The release has receipts for two synthetic Chromium tabs, a cookie, and local storage surviving a Compose recreation. The native app also reloaded its saved viewer URL after quitting and reopening. Gmail persistence and the seven-consecutive-day daily-driver gate remain pending. Dex control-lease work remains gated on that result.
