Codex 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

  1. Download Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6_aarch64-unsigned.dmg.
  2. Compare its SHA-256 digest with SHA256SUMS.txt.
  3. Open the DMG and drag Codex Styler to Applications.
  4. 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

  1. Download Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6_x64-unsigned-setup.exe.
  2. Compare its SHA-256 digest with SHA256SUMS.txt.
  3. 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

  • SHA256SUMS.txt covers both installers and the macOS updater archive.
  • Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6.spdx.json exports the dependency graph as SPDX 2.3.
  • GitHub artifact attestations cover both installers; platform updater artifacts carry Tauri signatures.
  • latest.json contains macOS Apple Silicon and Windows x64 update entries.
  • release-notes.json contains validated English and Simplified Chinese summaries for the pre-download update panel.

Verify installers with GitHub CLI:

gh attestation verify Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6_aarch64-unsigned.dmg \
  --repo xuhuanstudio/codex-styler

gh attestation verify Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.6_x64-unsigned-setup.exe \
  --repo xuhuanstudio/codex-styler

Beta limitations

  • 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.
