Kyro Desktop Initial Release (v0.1.0)

v0.1.0

2026-10-211d31a7f

First public release of the Kyro local-first autonomous desktop AI agent, featuring dual experience modes, zero-trust security governance, browser automation, and MCP client.

Features

Dual Experience Modes: Everyday Mode (File Organizer, Document Assistant, Screen Explainer) and Dev Workbench (Dev Servers, Code Checkpoints, Build Doctor, UI Audit, Multi-Agent Worktrees).
Visual Grounding: Set-of-Marks (SoM) visual marker system with native mouse & keyboard input synthesis.
Browser Automation: Provider-neutral WebSocket bridge supporting Firefox WebDriver BiDi and Chromium CDP with origin security.
Model Context Protocol (MCP): Complete client manager supporting local stdio tools, remote endpoints, and GitHub OAuth PKCE.
Teach-a-Task & Scheduler: User demonstration recorder with credential sanitization, cron & interval scheduler, and Telegram remote bridge.

Security

Centralized Authorization Engine with argument-aware shell tokenization.
100% Local-First Storage with SQLite WAL mode and versioned migrations.
OS Keyring Vault for API keys with AES-256-GCM authenticated fallback.
Fail-closed container sandbox fallback (never falls back to host if container engine is missing when SandboxOnly is requested).
Sensitive checkpoint detection (2FA, CAPTCHAs, passwords) triggering automatic human takeover.

CI/CD

Multi-platform Tauri build pipeline targeting Linux (deb, AppImage), macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel x86_64), and Windows (msi, exe).
Automated verification suite with over 230 backend Rust tests and 60+ frontend Vitest tests.

Robust Node.js runtime resolution in test environments

commit-a29563f

2026-10-21a29563f

Added PATH fallback resolution and symlink handling for /usr/local/bin to guarantee browser automation worker tests pass across diverse CI environments.

Testing

Ensure worker.mjs subprocess executes reliably in containerized or headless environments.
Provision Node.js v22 in backend test execution scripts.

Typography refinement & UI polish

commit-761a272

2026-10-21761a272

Refined desktop application typography to Roboto with Geist Mono for code blocks, harmonizing dark mode surfaces and high-contrast labels.

Features

Standardized font tokens across desktop shell, modal dialogs, and HUD panels.
Enhanced contrast on secondary labels, step timeline badges, and code diff views.

Dual experience modes in application shell

commit-896a9f7

2026-10-21896a9f7

Integrated mode selector in main header allowing non-developers to focus on everyday file and document workflows while engineers access dev servers, checkpoints, and multi-agent worktrees.

Features

Integrated FileOrganizerModal, DocumentAssistantModal, and ScreenExplainerModal into everyday workflow menu.
Integrated DevWorkbenchModal with tabs for Dev Servers, Checkpoints, Build Doctor, UI Audit, and Multi-Agent Workspace.
Added IPC command handlers and frontend types across all 75 registered endpoints.

Multi-agent workspace with Git worktree isolation

commit-b779ed3

2026-10-20b779ed3

Implemented multi-agent roster (Apex, Forge, Scout) executing specialized subtasks in isolated Git worktrees with reviewed reconciliation.

Architecture

Added MultiAgentWorkspace engine with 5 specialist roles and dependency graphs.
Implemented git worktree isolation to prevent parallel agents from colliding on working copies.
Provided reviewed reconciliation step before changes merge back to parent branch.

Visual regression baseline engine and UI audit workflow

commit-0ce0334

2026-10-200ce0334

Added autonomous UI audit engine that discovers routes, tests multi-viewport responsive baselines, and generates reproducible markdown defect reports.

Features

Visual regression baseline engine in ~/.config/kyro/baselines/.
Automated pixel diff percentage computation.
Multi-viewport auditing across Desktop (1920x1080), Tablet (768x1024), and Mobile (375x812).
