Description
Summary
Run v1.1.2 end to end on a genuinely clean supported Apple Silicon Mac and attach reproducible acceptance evidence.
Proposed Approach
- Use a clean Apple Silicon Mac with at least 16 GB RAM and no checkout or Answer Engine state.
- Download and verify assets anonymously.
- Complete dependency preflight, desktop/runtime launch, consented import, and grounded recall.
- Reboot and verify background recovery.
- Exercise repair, rollback, and uninstall/reinstall.
- Capture redacted evidence.
Acceptance Criteria
- Clean supported hardware and starting state are recorded.
- Assets download and verify anonymously.
- Dependencies are discovered or installed with clear consent.
- Desktop, API/UI, background service, import, and grounded recall succeed.
- Reboot, repair, rollback, and uninstall/reinstall match documentation.
- Evidence contains no secrets or personal content.

Research direction
Start with the v1.1.2 assets and the documented dependency preflight on a clean supported Apple Silicon Mac. Exercise the desktop, API/UI, background service, import, recall, reboot, repair, rollback, and uninstall/reinstall flows; done means every acceptance criterion is recorded with reproducible, redacted evidence.
