Midden v0.1.0 — Native recovery workbench (preview)

Highlights

  • In-process Facet Studio v1.0.0 kernel with native recovery tools, streaming chat, cancellation and browser approvals.
  • Runtime & Models controls for free-model discovery, selection, connection testing and compatible provider configuration.
  • Shared recipe lifecycle across native tools and the detached CLI/module: evidence inspection, planning, approval, production, authored drafts, revision, review and local export.
  • Editable PowerPoint and standalone HTML generation via Pandoc, digest-verified delivery downloads and ZIP bundles with provenance.
  • Source-scope and state-isolation fixes, module packaging and installer lifecycle tests, canonical agent guidance included in CLI skills.

Downloads and quick start

Choose the standalone archive for the web application. Extract and run midden ui (.\midden.exe ui in PowerShell). Open http://127.0.0.1:7777 and configure a model under Runtime & Models.

Choose headless for the CLI/module surface without the web application. Both forms include the executable, LICENSE, README and declared agent/skill content. Windows amd64, Linux amd64/arm64 and macOS amd64/arm64 archives are provided. Verify your archive against SHA256SUMS.

Pandoc is required for PPTX/HTML rendering and is not included. Source builds require Go 1.26.5 and access to the private xibodev Go dependencies. No session data, credentials or generated private examples are included.

Verification

  • Full Go tests, go vet and headless CLI/module tests passed.
  • Release binaries built from a clean checkout with no sibling replace directive.
  • Browser acceptance exercised click-driven and kernel-driven production, five approval decisions, source review, export, streaming and Stop cancellation. Deterministic browser workflow tests use synthetic evidence/scripted models.
  • Live model calls and real example content were exercised separately. An editable 8-slide PPTX was independently parsed, opened/rendered by LibreOffice Impress and visually inspected.
  • Windows archives were extracted and their version/descriptor commands smoke-tested. Linux and macOS archives are cross-built; they have not all been runtime-tested on native hosts.

Preview limitations

This prerelease is not a declaration of completed product validation. Free endpoints may be unavailable, restricted or return low-quality drafts; successful generation does not replace editorial review. The standalone OpenAI-compatible provider flow is available, but other OAuth/native-provider onboarding and live capability-equivalence validation inside external CLI/Studio hosts remain incomplete. Some legacy CLI/UI paths remain during migration. PPTX source previews are not pixel-identical to PowerPoint. Release executables are unsigned; macOS assets are not notarized.
