    Removed completed annotation-contract issue #7 from this issue’s blockers. PRs #47, #48, and #49 satisfy the focused-preview interpretation contract and representative-control requirement. The remaining live/cross-model evaluation work in #46 belongs to the Broad announcement milestone and does not block cutting the focused-preview prerelease.

    Candidate release available

    v0.1.3 is now the current valid Apple Silicon candidate and is explicitly labeled early preview at the download point. The issue no longer requires GitHub's prerelease flag: a stable immutable release is acceptable if it is the exact candidate accepted when the focused-preview gate closes.

    #11 no longer waits on this issue and may test v0.1.3 now. This issue remains open because #6, #9, and #39 still determine whether v0.1.3 is the final preview candidate or a newer exact-main version is needed.

    Issue #9 documentation handoff

    Issue #9 is review-ready at cb52d5e. Its public URLs remain stable when the audience-root change lands.

    For the final focused-preview release decision and notes, preserve this user-facing checklist:

    • label the release Early macOS preview and identify its intended audience;
    • state macOS 14 Sonoma or newer on Apple Silicon, plus Node.js 22.13.0 or newer for the launcher;
    • use the exact trial command from the README;
    • say the app is hardened and ad-hoc signed, but not Apple-verified or notarized;
    • do not imply native Intel availability; issue Ship and validate native Intel releases for the broad announcement #80 owns that Broad-announcement activation;
    • link Privacy, storage, and recovery, Markdown support and preview limitations, and GitHub Discussions;
    • state the early-preview format caveat: historical JSON and attachments are preserved, but a newer Markover may not open every older review;
    • if mentioning durability, keep the tested boundary: while Markover is responsive and local storage is healthy, managed changes have a two-second default app-process-crash window; power, OS, hardware, and unhealthy or unusually slow storage are excluded; and
    • retain the exact rollback target and trust/provenance facts from the release runbook.

    The source guide and user/developer split are pending merge from the issue #9 branch; this comment is the dependency handoff, not a claim that the new Pages content is deployed yet.

    v0.1.3 independent public-download preflight

    Issue #11's preparation evidence independently verifies the downloaded-artifact criterion for the current v0.1.3 candidate:

    • all four public release assets downloaded successfully;
    • the app ZIP and CLI payload matched their published checksum sidecars and locally computed digests;
    • both payload attestations verified against the exact release workflow, tag, source commit, and GitHub-hosted-runner constraint;
    • a released CLI invocation using fresh isolated npm and Markover caches resolved v0.1.3, downloaded and validated the arm64 app, wrote the expected validation marker, and reused that cache on the second run;
    • extracted app inspection confirmed version 0.1.3, arm64-only Mach-O files, the macOS 14 floor, hardened ad-hoc signing, and a valid deep/strict code seal.

    The corresponding acceptance checkbox is now complete. This evidence came from the occupied maintainer profile and intentionally stopped before app launch, so it does not prove quarantine, Gatekeeper override, or the end-to-end clean-profile workflow. #11 remains blocked on the #93 batch session. If the focused-preview gate selects a release newer than v0.1.3, repeat this verification against that exact replacement before closing #10.
