Novum Xenium 0.1.0 — desktop preview

First desktop preview of Novum Xenium, built from NX-Odysseus with the original project history and AGPL license retained.

The Tauri app starts and stops your local Docker Compose backend, shows its health and logs, and opens the shared workspace UI. Backend updates check for a clean checkout, preserve recovery backups, and restore the previous source, image and data if startup fails. The interface uses flat NX styling.

Install the Linux AppImage or Windows portable ZIP through NX Hub. This preview adopts an existing backend checkout; Docker, Git and the initial backend setup are still required. See desktop setup.

Validation: 6,751 Python tests passed, 18 skipped. Linux and Windows desktop CI builds passed, with 14 native tests on each platform. The CI Linux package was installed through NX Hub and launched under headless Gamescope; the native manager identified the running backend, read logs and opened the workspace. The workspace was denied native management access. Windows Docker operation still needs testing on a Windows PC.

The backend context-budget fix is deployed and healthy on the tested Linux installation. A bounded ChatGPT-only agent check successfully called web_fetch and read the public README; its disposable test chat was removed. An earlier attempt encountered a provider connection error and the retry passed.

Desktop packages were built from release commit 2654489. SHA-256 sidecars are included for both packages.
