Current phase: Milestone 4 / Work Package 3 Windows compatibility-kind parity prerequisite — **In progress — 2026-07-15, Codex implementation owner**. The disconnected release-DAG and aggregate/read-back byte boundaries are closed locally and on all six native build jobs under E-M4-RELEASE-DAG-LOCAL-001, E-M4-RELEASE-DAG-CI-001, E-M4-AGGREGATE-READBACK-LOCAL-001, and E-M4-AGGREGATE-READBACK-CI-001. Pre-assembly inspection found that target-native Windows build identities use compatibility `kind: "win32"` while the reviewed manifest schema and desktop consistency verifier require `kind: "windows"`. The active package is limited to a RED/GREEN parity correction and exact regressions before canonical manifest/signature-handoff work resumes; it may not publish, connect desktop consumers, use signing credentials, or enable a tuple. Production/default behavior is unchanged, no bundled-runtime path is enabled, and no artifact is published.
-Session checkpoint: **In progress — 2026-07-15, Codex implementation owner** — exact-head artifact run [29391666358](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/29391666358) executes aggregate-input and authenticated draft read-back suites under Node 24 on all six target-native build jobs at `87a8e4dc3`; every native build and both Linux supplemental userland jobs pass under E-M4-AGGREGATE-READBACK-CI-001. The run remains red only because Windows arm64 runner build 26200 is not the required build 26100, after archive/tree/Node/PTY/watcher smoke settles in 8,032.7284 ms with 49,922,048-byte RSS. Golden E2E [29391666362](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/29391666362) and PR Checks [29391666360](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/29391666360) are green. Inspection for the next manifest slice exposed the unpublished Windows `win32`/`windows` compatibility-kind and root-`node.exe`/`bin/node.exe` verifier mismatches. The narrow correction now passes local RED/GREEN, purpose-named workflow wiring, 36-file/203-test full SSH-relay, type, lint, line-budget, formatting, and diff gates under E-M4-WINDOWS-MANIFEST-PARITY-LOCAL-RED-001 and E-M4-WINDOWS-MANIFEST-PARITY-LOCAL-001; exact-head native CI is next. Real Apple/SignPath signing, returned production signatures, Gatekeeper/notarization, Defender/WDAC, missing exact-floor snapshots, protected manifest signing, and native trust remain separately gated. Nothing is published or enabled, and legacy remains the production default.
