Milestone
Description
Outcome
Markover has a standard macOS Help menu that gives users an in-app path to authoritative public guidance and support without duplicating documentation inside the application.
Acceptance criteria
- A top-level Help menu uses Electron's standard help-menu role so macOS supplies conventional placement and menu search behavior.
- The menu links to the public user guide and the repository's chosen support/reporting path.
- The menu links to the forthcoming public Privacy and local data page owned technically by Authenticate the loopback review API #12 and completed as part of Publish preview, privacy, storage, deletion, and support documentation #9.
- Public links open in the user's default browser through the established safe external-navigation boundary; Markover does not navigate its review window.
- Link labels and destinations are sourced from one maintainable definition and do not silently diverge from the README or public site.
- Offline or browser-launch failures produce bounded, actionable feedback without affecting review state.
- Keyboard access, VoiceOver naming, focus return, and standard macOS menu behavior are verified.
- Automated coverage protects menu structure and exact allowed destinations; packaged-app validation exercises each command.
Ordering and dependencies
- Parent readiness issue: Announcement readiness: focused preview and broad launch #5.
- Blocked by Publish preview, privacy, storage, deletion, and support documentation #9 for the final public privacy, guide, and support destinations; Authenticate the loopback review API #12 supplies the verified privacy/data claims used by that page.
- Coordinate the external-navigation implementation with the hardening boundary in Harden the Electron renderer and packaged app capabilities #6; do not broaden renderer navigation or create a general-purpose URL-opening capability.
- Independent of the About-panel issue; the two may share an implementation PR only if planned together and still independently satisfy their acceptance criteria.
- This is broad-announcement discoverability and does not block the focused preview.
Scope boundaries
- Authoritative external documentation and support links only.
- No embedded help browser, searchable documentation system, update checker, diagnostics upload, or custom support backend.
- No compatibility layer or duplicate local copy of the public privacy page.
