+# Codex Styler 0.2.0-beta.8 — Verified Composer Interactions
+
+Beta 8 turns Composer Interactions from decorative experiments into five purposeful ways to choose a real Codex loadout. Every play now produces a model, reasoning effort, and response speed from the options visible in Codex, shows the exact diff, waits for confirmation, writes all three fields, and reads them back before reporting success. The release also closes a first-launch renderer race and carries the latest theme, manager, and compact-layout refinements.
+
+Release tag: `v0.2.0-beta.8`
+
+## Download and install
+
+### macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon
+
+1. Download `Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.8_aarch64-unsigned.dmg`.
+2. Compare its SHA-256 digest with `SHA256SUMS.txt`.
+3. Open the DMG and drag Codex Styler to Applications.
+4. On first launch, Control-click Codex Styler and choose **Open**.
+
+The macOS app is ad-hoc signed, does not have an Apple Developer ID signature, and is not notarized. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.
+
+### Windows 11 x64 — community-validation Beta
+
+1. Download `Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.8_x64-unsigned-setup.exe`.
+2. Compare its SHA-256 digest with `SHA256SUMS.txt`.
+3. Review the GitHub build attestation, then run the per-user installer.
+
+The Windows installer is not Authenticode-signed, so SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. It is built and structurally verified on GitHub-hosted Windows runners. Microsoft Store launch, managed restart, update, restore, and uninstall still require independent real-device evidence before RC.
+
+## Five interactions with real outcomes
+
+- **Triple Drop** lands one configuration marble for model, reasoning effort, and speed; each landing is the real field result.
+- **Capsule Crane** exposes complete loadouts before capture, so skill selects a visible configuration instead of an unrelated hidden roll.
+- **Loadout Forge** spins and locks three independent rings before forging their combined loadout.
+- **Three-axis Console** directly selects the model engine and a reasoning-effort × response-speed cell.
+- **Mission Map** combines a visible model engine with a transparent task route that determines reasoning and speed.
+
+Every outcome contains all three settings. An unchanged value is labelled **Keep current** rather than being silently omitted. Nothing reads, changes, or submits prompt content.
+
+## Native control integration
+
+- The selected interaction replaces Codex's native configuration control in place; no extra composer launcher is added.
+- The current localized Radix menu is opened through its keyboard contract, kept visually concealed while inspected, and fully closed before the interaction appears.
+- English and Simplified Chinese field labels are recognized without ASCII-only word-boundary assumptions.
+- Apply configuration writes model, reasoning effort, and speed, then verifies all three against the live Codex state.
+- If the native structure cannot be interpreted reliably, Styler never guesses a click or silently changes a setting and retains an explicit route to the official control.
+
+## Visual and accessibility quality
+
+- Original claw, capsule, marble, and route-beacon artwork is embedded locally as transparent WebP and adapts to the active theme palette.
+- Interaction surfaces inherit theme material, opacity, blur, radius, motion intensity, and frame-rate budget.
+- Keyboard play, Escape recovery, focus return, explicit confirmation, compact result reflow, and deterministic reduced-motion output are covered by regression tests.
+- The manager now explains the complete model/reasoning/speed contract before an interaction is enabled.
+
+## Reliability and product polish
+
+- Managed launch waits for three stable ready-renderer samples before connecting.
+- Application verifies that the injected runtime survived Electron's startup renderer handoff and retries once in the same session when needed.
+- Interaction preferences resynchronize after reconnecting without rebuilding the active theme or companion.
+- Native Refined uses a clearer porcelain, graphite, and mineral-blue palette.
+- Compact resource details, Home preview proportions, preview clipping, themed native switches, and desktop feature boundaries have been refined.
+
+## Release validation
+
+- The current macOS Codex session completed a real apply → read-back verification → restore pass without restarting Codex.
+- The official configuration menu remained visually absent while the interaction was active.
+- Desktop, theme-core, Rust, browser E2E, production builds, dependency audits, and release-version synchronization are release gates.
+- The release workflow independently builds and structurally verifies the Apple Silicon DMG and Windows x64 NSIS installer before assembling the draft release.
+
+## Release evidence
+
+- `SHA256SUMS.txt` covers both installers and the macOS updater archive.
+- `Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.8.spdx.json` exports the dependency graph as SPDX 2.3.
+- GitHub artifact attestations cover both installers; platform updater artifacts carry Tauri signatures.
+- `latest.json` contains macOS Apple Silicon and Windows x64 update entries.
+- `release-notes.json` contains validated English and Simplified Chinese summaries for the pre-download update panel.
+
+Verify installers with GitHub CLI:
+
+```bash
+gh attestation verify Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.8_aarch64-unsigned.dmg \
+  --repo xuhuanstudio/codex-styler
+
+gh attestation verify Codex-Styler_0.2.0-beta.8_x64-unsigned-setup.exe \
+  --repo xuhuanstudio/codex-styler
+```
+
+## Beta limitations
+
+- Windows Store and non-Store startup are structurally tested in CI but still require independent real-device reports before RC.
+- Composer Interactions depend on Codex's native configuration semantics and may require an adapter update after a substantial upstream control redesign.
+- Complex-background automatic segmentation, video backgrounds, multi-entity scenes, 3D/WebGL, macOS Intel, Windows ARM64, and Linux remain outside 0.2.
+- macOS notarization and Windows Authenticode signing remain required before v1 Stable.
