Open Coworker 0.1.0-alpha.20260908.1

Signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon build for early testing. Not a general release.

In this alpha

• Choose independent Deep thinking and Delivery models and supported effort in Coworker settings, or keep both on Same as coworker.
• New Workers retain their chosen model and effort. One completed thinking brief can return to the original coworker for up to two bounded delivery Workers; Workers do not delegate recursively.
• ChatGPT setup suggestions appear only when a supported sign-in is detected. API keys and unknown credential shapes are not treated as subscriptions; connection replacement requires an explicit choice.
• Optional Star glasses, reusable coworker profiles, and the existing conversation-first experience.
• Updated browser presentation/takeover, coordinator initialization, current platform integration, transparent application icons, and the repaired exact-version packaging path.

The example model mix is a template, not a required provider stack. Provider access, model availability and terms still apply. Detection does not establish ChatGPT subscription tier or Astra entitlement.

Deliberately not included

Anonymous free-Luna integration, a new no-login inference entry, live allowance/billing changes, enforced spending caps and measured savings claims remain deferred. The constellation marketing exploration remains local-only; this installer release does not launch that website campaign.

Verification and limits

• Release pipeline passed typechecking, unit checks, packaging, Developer ID signing, notarization, Gatekeeper, stapled-ticket validation, packaged-server import and publication.
• The published DMG was downloaded and independently verified: checksum, disk-image integrity, signature, Gatekeeper, ticket, version, arm64 architecture and embedded-server import.
• 50 focused model/Worker/provider checks passed on the identical application tree. The broader local suite had 350 passes and one skip because its embedded-server output was not built.
• Full native feature verification remains Incomplete. A packaged team-journey attempt launched the app and reached local setup, but did not produce a completed test verdict before its 120-second execution window ended. No full multi-provider or real ChatGPT authorization journey is claimed.
• The separate branch matrix failed Windows checks; this release contains Mac arm64 only. Native computer-control and broader production-readiness proof remain incomplete.
