What exists, what is verified, and what is still out of scope

This page describes commit 805f3d6 on protected main. It deliberately excludes unmerged feature branches and converts completion claims into links to accepted ADRs, gates, and release evidence.

What the desktop can do on this baseline

Not yet admitted on this baseline Desktop title/abstract Screening mutation, workflow completion from the desktop, protocol or criteria authoring, authentication, live providers, model calls, plugin execution, database/cloud state, and multi-user collaboration.

Validation and delivery posture

The repository uses protected-main validation on Windows and Linux. The standard gate restores, builds in Release, verifies package reproducibility and local-source smoke, runs the test matrix, exercises CLI smoke paths, collects informational coverage, and verifies formatting. CodeQL and dependency review run independently.

Claims deliberately not made

No production release

Packages are validation-only and unpublished. There is no supported installer or production operating claim.

No connected platform

No database, API, cloud synchronization, tenant isolation, or multi-user collaboration is claimed.

No autonomous science

Automation and model outputs cannot become final scientific decisions by themselves.

No live retrieval

The protected baseline does not query scholarly providers, scrape, bypass paywalls, parse PDFs, or perform OCR.

No plugin runtime

Capability and manifest contracts exist; third-party execution and sandbox claims do not.

No broad compatibility

PHP classifications are case- and fixture-scoped. They are not a blanket compatibility promise.
