+# Codex / WorkBuddy 执行内核收敛：实施与验收
+
+日期：2026-09-18。候选版本：Codex 0.3.0 / WorkBuddy 0.4.0。当前为开发候选，未发布。
+
+## 已实现
+
+- `packages/device-runtime` 提供一份 Viewer、动作、设备发现、控制器、队列、会话资源、forward 所有权和 scrcpy 流实现。构建时分别打入两个独立安装包，用户无需第三个服务。
+- Codex 保留 thread / Unix daemon / CLI / JPEG 文件交付；WorkBuddy 保留 TCP broker / MCP image / Hook / sharp 像素采样及稳定帧策略。
+- 执行结果不明确时返回 typed `outcome_unknown`，包括动作完成后截图落盘失败；取消、延迟返回及旧会话清理不会释放新会话的设备锁。
+- 构建验证只允许宿主与共享目录输入，拒绝越界和符号链接。成品携带来源 commit、包版本、宿主及共享源码 SHA-256。
+- 两端 Skill 和安装说明区分安装、工具发现、Hook、可见视频四项状态。WorkBuddy live-install 沿用现有能力；活动 broker 仍阻止升级，未加入强制终止或自动热替换运行中执行器。
+- 两个运行实例仍各自锁设备，不提供跨宿主同一手机互斥。DSH、server、client 未修改。
+
+## 本地验证
+
+环境：macOS arm64，Node 22.23.2。以下结果不等于实际桌面宿主验收。
+
+| 验证层 | 结果 | 边界 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Codex 单元与契约测试 | 91 项通过；另 2 项构建边界测试通过 | 覆盖故障注入、会话与输出不确定性 |
+| WorkBuddy 单元与契约测试 | 148 项通过；另 2 项构建边界测试通过 | 含活动 broker 升级阻止 / 退出后放行 |
+| 类型、构建与验证器 | 双端通过 | 成品分别打包，不依赖另一个宿主 |
+| 隔离源码导出后构建 | 双端通过 | 只导出单端与共享源码；后续增补用例另在工作树通过 |
+| 浏览器合成视频 | 双端通过 | H.264 解码、更新、分辨率变化、任务结束后继续播放；非真实手机视频 |
+| WorkBuddy 设备墙 / native 清理 | 通过 | 图像实际解码、隐藏与停止预览、精确子进程清理 |
+| WorkBuddy packed smoke | 通过 | 脱仓 MCP、安装备份/幂等性/回滚路径、模拟宿主 preflight 与缓存；并非真实 WorkBuddy UI |
+| 安装 Skill 校验 | 通过 | 安装 Skill 与 Codex control 的结构校验；WorkBuddy 特有元数据由项目验证器检查 |
+| 模拟器端到端视频 | 未通过 | 两端均 `display_timeout` / `firstDisplayEstablished=false`；未建立控制会话、未执行手机动作 |
+
+进一步只读诊断在 12 秒内收到 12 个视频包及 H.264 / 540×960 元数据，视频流状态 ready；失败浏览器截图为空白页，尚未定位页面加载或可见性原因。该结果只证明编码与 ADB 流传输，不代表浏览器可见首帧。
+
+scrcpy 首次下载在此环境需 Node 使用已有代理环境变量；只为测试进程设置 `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1`。测试脚本的 WorkBuddy 临时目录曾因权限不是 0700 被拒绝，修正测试目录后 broker 正常启动。两者均未改写用户宿主配置。
+
+## 发布门禁与下一步
+
+1. 定位当前模拟器视频首帧失败，保留编码、传输和浏览器解码证据；恢复后重新从可见首帧开始进行看图控制验收。
+2. 分别在真实 Codex / WorkBuddy 中验证安装刷新、图片可见、任务停止、Hook 续跑、清理及重开。不能把直接 CLI / MCP smoke 当成宿主验收。
+3. 在授权测试设备上完成 Unicode、两个物理设备并行/冲突、30 分钟视频 soak、24fps / P95 500ms 目标及支持的桌面版本矩阵。
+4. 所有稳定发布门禁保持未验证。合并与 CI 通过后才进入预发布；GitHub 下载包的 checksum 与安装必须另行验证，不能用本地 dist 代替。
+
+公开记录不包含设备私人标识、屏幕内容、token URL 或本地凭据。测试产物保留在维护者本地临时目录。

-Adds independent read-only real-time Viewers and first-visible-video authorization. Control completion preserves viewing; page closure preserves established control. Adds bounded H.264 recovery, native-host Skill routing, eager video-resource preparation, and upgrade checks. Protocol 3 rejects old runtimes; retain old packages and end old sessions/displays before switching. Existing observation safety and host isolation remain.
+Development candidate; not published or accepted as stable.
 
-This candidate has not been published. See the candidate acceptance report for passed and outstanding gates. Do not equate source tests or a decoder capability check with installed-host real-device acceptance.
+- Shares the device execution, viewer, video transport and session resource core with the other standalone host.
+- Keeps host-specific installation, state, permissions, image delivery and rollback independent.
+- Preserves typed uncertain outcomes and prevents replay after screenshot delivery failure.
+- Embeds a runtime provenance manifest and validates isolated builds and packaged entry points.
+
+Real desktop-host, two-physical-device, Unicode and sustained-video acceptance remain separate release gates. Cross-host concurrent control of one device is unsupported.

-Adds live installation for WorkBuddy 5.5.6 and newer. The host may stay open while the verified installer atomically writes the MCP, Skill, and Hook configuration. WorkBuddy watches the MCP file; the user reviews the external Hook change in `/hooks` and confirms the Skill in `/skills`. Older compatible hosts retain the Command-Q fallback.
+Development candidate; not published or accepted as stable.
 
-Upgrades still stop if an old OpenGUI broker owns tasks or persistent displays. Finish those tasks, close their viewers or mirrors, disable the old OpenGUI MCP, and retry after the broker exits. The installer does not kill WorkBuddy or phone processes. Existing observation safety, host isolation, rollback receipts, and protocol 8 remain unchanged.
+- Shares the device execution, viewer, video transport and session resource core with the other standalone host.
+- Keeps host-specific installation, state, permissions, image delivery and rollback independent.
+- Preserves typed uncertain outcomes and prevents replay after screenshot delivery failure.
+- Embeds a runtime provenance manifest and validates isolated builds and packaged entry points.
 
-This is a public-testing candidate. Stable publication still requires the gates in `release-readiness.json`.
+Real desktop-host, two-physical-device, Unicode and sustained-video acceptance remain separate release gates. Cross-host concurrent control of one device is unsupported.
