This build is currently not code-signed with a Windows Authenticode certificate. Windows SmartScreen may ask for extra confirmation before installing.

macOS and Linux release artifacts are not official yet. The repo has partial source support for both platforms, and contributors with those operating systems are needed to test and complete the port.

What's Fixed

• GitHub browser auth now has shorter connect/read timeouts and clearer errors when GitHub device-code or token polling cannot be reached.
• GitHub Settings now separates starting login, checking access, and disconnecting state so one action does not lock the whole OAuth panel.
• GitHub sign-in now tells users to paste a GitHub OAuth App Client ID first and links directly to GitHub's OAuth App and device-flow docs.
• Editing the GitHub OAuth Client ID clears stale status messages, making retries less confusing.
• App update checks now use the signed latest.json updater feed from this release.
• Terminal sessions now start in the selected project folder when one is active, or the user's home folder otherwise, instead of the app source checkout.
• The terminal panel now switches project folders safely and waits for a running command to finish before restarting into a new workspace.
• Terminal and Git tool calls now fail clearly when no project workspace folder is selected instead of silently running in the wrong folder.
• Tool-heavy chats can continue from saved local tool evidence instead of treating a fallback tool-results message as the final answer.
• Empty-response retry instructions now preserve completed local tool evidence and avoid hidden-thinking-only retries.
• Runtime tool guidance now prefers view_code plus structured edits for existing files, reducing accidental full-file rewrites.
• The GitHub release workflow now resolves tag names from the pushed tag or workflow input and publishes signed updater artifacts.

Assets

• Gilbert-Codex-0.2.1-x64-setup.exe: Windows x64 installer for end users.
• Gilbert-Codex-0.2.1-x64-setup.exe.sha256: checksum file for the signed installer.
• Gilbert-Codex-0.2.1-x64-setup.exe.sig: Tauri updater signature for the installer.
• latest.json: Tauri updater feed for v0.2.1.

Known Limits

• Windows x64 is still the only official packaged target for this release.
• The installer is not code-signed with a Windows Authenticode certificate yet.
• macOS and Linux still need native contributors to validate launch, packaging, shell behavior, and platform-specific fixes.
• Provider keys, GitHub tokens, Discord settings, local accounts, logs, workspace data, local databases, release signing credentials, and updater private keys remain local user data and are not bundled.

Verification

Validated with local checks plus GitHub Actions Release attempt 3, which completed successfully and published signed updater artifacts.

Built from commit 9c2faec59e661909bda545ffb768163f98da5ebe and tag v0.2.1.
