v0.0.2

OpenPhone 0.0.2 Release Notes

Status: developer preview latest release.

0.0.2 is the first OpenPhone release intended to publish a device preview
artifact through the GitHub Actions release pipeline. It is still for ROM
developers and early collaborators, not daily-driver consumer use.

Supported Devices

• Google Pixel 9a (tegu) - development target.

Highlights

• Privileged OpenPhone Assistant app with chat, voice, task, island, and
  trajectory surfaces.
• system_server OpenPhone agent manager service and action/policy/audit
  plumbing.
• Settings and SystemUI OpenPhone surfaces for assistant launch, task grant,
  audit status, and active-task control.
• Agent Runtime V1 background jobs and validated eval/evidence report
  contracts.
• Model broker development proxy with token minting, allowlisting, privacy
  gates, bounded retry, and body-free audit events.
• First assistant-owned OTA feed client for downloading and SHA-256 verifying
  preview OTA zips before manual installation.
• GCP-backed emulator lab workflow for release-gated smoke testing.
• Release workflow that stages OTA artifacts, generates SHA256SUMS and
  ARTIFACTS.md, validates artifacts, and publishes them to GitHub Releases.

Known Issues

• Not a consumer-ready ROM.
• Production signing is not used for this preview artifact.
• On-device OTA installation is not implemented; downloaded OTA ZIPs still
  require manual installation.
• Full autonomous multi-step agent loop is still in progress.
• Framework-owned UI hierarchy extraction and OCR are not implemented.
• Hardware validation is incomplete and remains Pixel 9a focused.
• Google apps are not distributed by OpenPhone.

Artifacts

• Source archive: GitHub generated.
• Development OTA ZIP: attached to the GitHub Release when the release workflow
  succeeds.
• Development OTA SHA-256: attached as SHA256SUMS.
• Artifact manifest: attached as ARTIFACTS.md.
