Desk Code Agent v0.2.0

Status: public release

Desk Code Agent 0.2.0 makes the first-run experience honest, readable, and
useful. The desktop now opens to a guided empty state and can inspect an
existing local Git repository through the native Windows folder picker.

Highlights

  • A clear three-step first-run guide with one primary Choose local folder
    action
  • Native, bounded, read-only observation of repository-reported HEAD/ref text and a file manifest; referenced Git objects are not validated
  • A persistent separation between real repository facts and deterministic demo
    data
  • Larger typography, System/Dark/Light themes, 100/110/125% text sizing,
    density controls, stronger focus/contrast, and live reduced motion
  • Responsive panels down to the native 760×520 minimum
  • A redesigned GitHub README with current screenshots and a Traditional
    Chinese quick start

Open a repository

  1. Install and launch Desk Code Agent from the Windows Start menu.
  2. Select Choose local folder.
  3. Pick a folder that is already a Git repository.

The repository remains in place. Selection makes no network or model call and
does not run hooks, acquire optional locks, check out files, or modify source.
Desk shows only the repository name, repository-reported branch and observed HEAD text, recognized manifests, and
a bounded file list; it does not render the absolute local path. Working-tree
cleanliness is intentionally not inspected because Git content comparison can
invoke repository-configured filters. The UI states that status is not checked
for safety instead of claiming clean or dirty.

Linked worktrees and submodule checkouts that use .git indirection are intentionally unsupported in this release. Select the primary checkout.

If a repository exists only on GitHub, clone it first with Git or GitHub
Desktop, then choose the local folder. URL cloning is not available in this
build.

Honest capability boundary

The selected-repository task runtime and semantic index are not connected in
this release. Run therefore remains disabled for a selected repository.
The optional guided demo is a deterministic fixture and is always labelled
DEMO DATA · NO REPOSITORY ACCESSED · ZERO MODEL CALLS.

Autonomous mutation and default retry remain disabled. The research result
remains RESEARCH_COMPLETE_INCONCLUSIVE_FORMATION_RESULT.

The packages are unsigned because trusted signing credentials are deferred.
Windows may show its standard unknown-publisher or reputation warning. The
desktop requires WebView2; the default installer may download Microsoft's
WebView2 bootstrapper when the runtime is absent. That conditional path was
not exercised because the reference host already had WebView2 installed. The
release candidate was built on the Windows reference host, hash-verified,
installed, launched from the installed path, exercised through the native
folder picker against a real committed repository, removed its registration,
program files, shortcuts, and processes, and reinstalled successfully. The
WebView user profile may persist after uninstall; the fresh QA profile retained
browser state but contained zero selected-repository, canary, or private-path
scan hits.

Known limitations

  • Task execution and semantic indexing are not connected to a repository
    selected in the desktop app.
  • GitHub URL cloning is unavailable.
  • Model runtime and weights are not bundled.
