Okra for Mac v1.0.0-rc.55

Okra for Mac 1.0.0-rc.55

RC.55 restores the RC.53 workspace after regressions reported in RC.54. The native reader, existing editing controls, OCR and extraction panel, and instant thumbnail-sidebar page moves and PDF drops return to their RC.53 behavior. Verified saves, Undo, source-linked output and explicit parsing remain.

The document-tool expansion, optional Bates module and model-picker artwork introduced in RC.54 are removed. The earlier okra bates command returns to its RC.53 behavior without the optional-feature toggle.

This is a normal forward update: RC.55 has a higher updater build number than RC.54. Original documents and existing extraction output are not rewritten by this release. PDF copies exported using RC.54 remain ordinary files. RC.54-only operations are unavailable after updating. Save ongoing edits and let active work finish before installing.

The app and installer are Developer ID signed, Apple notarized and stapled. Current repository and public-update-feed routing are retained.

Validation

All 351 application/runtime files were compared with RC.53; the only differences are the current public-feed repository URL and two end-of-file whitespace cleanups. Mac CI passes 876 Swift tests in 131 suites, release build, packaged app/CLI launch and bundled workspace qualification. The restored workspace service passes its typecheck, 120 tests, build and packaged-runtime smoke. The Python suite passes 229 checks with one skip.

The immutable RC.55 release repeated qualification and passed Developer ID signing, app and DMG notarization/stapling, Gatekeeper, packaged launch and source provenance. Build: 202609302331. An actual installed RC.54-to-RC.55 upgrade and saved-state walkthrough has not been performed. Full native document-tool acceptance remains open.
