Codex Styler 0.2.0-beta.6 — macOS & Windows Beta
Pre-releaseCodex Styler 0.2.0-beta.6 — Usability Foundation & Creator Recovery
This Beta turns the existing feature set into a clearer ordinary-user journey. Theme, companion, runtime state, and the safest next action now share one application model, while both creative workspaces gain stronger history, validation, recovery, and compact-window behavior.
Release tag: v0.2.0-beta.6
Download and install
macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon
- Download
Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6_aarch64-unsigned.dmg. - Compare its SHA-256 digest with
SHA256SUMS.txt. - Open the DMG and drag Codex Styler to Applications.
- On first launch, Control-click Codex Styler and choose Open.
The macOS app is ad-hoc signed, does not have an Apple Developer ID signature, and is not notarized. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.
Windows 11 x64 — community-validation Beta
- Download
Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6_x64-unsigned-setup.exe. - Compare its SHA-256 digest with
SHA256SUMS.txt. - Review the GitHub build attestation, then run the per-user installer.
The Windows installer is not Authenticode-signed, so SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. It is built and structurally verified on GitHub-hosted Windows runners. Microsoft Store launch, managed restart, update, restore, and uninstall still require independent real-device evidence before RC.
One application model
- A persistent configuration dock presents the selected theme, independent companion, runtime state, and one context-aware primary action.
- First run now follows a safety check → setup choice → review and apply journey, including missing-install recovery.
- Theme and companion libraries use compact master-detail behavior without hiding the selected resource or duplicating application controls.
- Runtime and launch failures are translated into clear recovery actions for application location, diagnostics, retry, and restore.
Theme Editor completion
- Undo and redo work from visible controls and standard keyboard shortcuts.
- Current and saved previews can be compared without making the saved version editable.
- Every visible section reports its runtime effect coverage and can jump to a matching Home, Task, Settings, Dialog, or Right panel preview.
- Dirty drafts show explicit Save, Save and apply, discard, and leave-confirmation behavior instead of silently losing changes.
- Scene layers are selectable, editable, removable, and represented by their real type, opacity, and blend mode.
Companion Studio recovery
- Import defaults to automatic source detection while still allowing static image, sequence, video, or atlas constraints.
- The final review reports compiled output, frame and atlas limits, metadata readiness, and a direct action for the first incomplete requirement.
- Existing source projects can be reopened from My Companions and deleted separately from installed companion packages.
- Large draft restoration now reports source, frame, and cleanup progress; cleanup is memory-bounded, cancellation is safe, and failures can be retried.
- Reset current step and reset entire project remain visibly labelled at compact widths and use distinct icons.
Responsive and visual system
- The setup guide and creation dialogs keep their step navigation and primary actions fixed while only the working content scrolls.
- Scrollbars, range controls, selects, focus rings, disabled states, and overscroll behavior use the same cross-platform product chrome.
- Home, Settings, libraries, Theme Editor, and all seven Companion Studio stages have updated English/Chinese light/dark screenshot baselines, including 960 × 680.
Automated evidence
- Desktop unit and component tests cover application state, configuration presentation, draft history, editor control mapping, companion project linking, import behavior, compiler output, and cancellable restore.
- Browser E2E covers first-use application, keyboard selection and restore, compact libraries, Theme Editor history and saved preview, every Companion Studio stage, H.264 extraction, atlas slicing, and cross-platform scroll chrome.
- Theme-core validation, Rust formatting, Clippy, tests, JavaScript dependency audit, production builds, and local link checks remain release gates.
Release evidence

- Windows Store and non-Store startup are structurally tested in CI but still require independent real-device reports before RC.
- Complex-background automatic segmentation, video backgrounds, multi-entity scenes, 3D/WebGL, macOS Intel, Windows ARM64, and Linux remain outside 0.2.
- macOS notarization and Windows Authenticode signing remain required before v1 Stable.
