Codex Styler 0.1.0-alpha.4 — macOS Apple Silicon Alpha
Pre-releaseCodex Styler 0.1.0-alpha.4
This Alpha rebuilds the product around a unified theme library and a complete semantic styling contract. Themes can now begin from an image, a blank canvas, or an existing design; built-in themes create editable local copies; and the Codex runtime receives the full palette, composition, icon, motion, and readability system instead of a partial color overlay.
Warning
This build is ad-hoc signed but not signed with an Apple Developer ID and not notarized by Apple. On first launch, use Finder's Control-click → Open flow. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.

What changed
- Use the new Home to see the applied theme, independent companion, runtime compatibility strategy, and primary actions in one place.
- Browse Built-in and My Themes in one library, import a theme package, or create from an image, a blank canvas, or an existing theme.
- Customize a built-in design as a local copy without mutating the bundled original.
- Save, reset, export, apply, and delete local themes from the same contextual workflow.
- Apply all 182 observed Codex semantic color tokens with contrast-aware roles instead of leaving isolated native colors behind.
- Treat icons through safe containers without overriding SVG view boxes, paths, transforms, or intrinsic aspect ratios.
- Keep new-task metadata, suggestions, and the composer readable when window height or content changes.
- Select a motion recipe independently from the theme's color and image direction.
- Keep companions independent, draggable, and attached to live semantic surfaces when requested.
Theme format additions
The public v1 schema now exposes an optional semantic palette and motion recipe while retaining the existing data-only package boundary. Built-in, imported, image-derived, and blank themes all use the same validated contract and runtime path.
Theme packages cannot execute scripts, load remote resources, inject arbitrary CSS, or include executable content.
Verification
- 19 desktop tests, 12 theme-core tests, and 7 Rust tests pass.
- Desktop and bilingual Astro documentation production builds pass.
- The generated theme validator is synchronized with the public JSON Schema.
- Playwright visual checks cover Home, the theme library, creation choices, the nested editor, and English GitHub presentation.
- Release version metadata is synchronized across the monorepo, Tauri configuration, documentation site, and download links.
