📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds Ubuntu 24.04 desktop packaging and capability reporting. It gates unsupported Linux features, centralizes CUA discovery, adds package verification and smoke tests, updates CI, and documents Linux development and installation workflows. ChangesUbuntu desktop support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The Ubuntu desktop changes are mergeable with owner awareness: Auto mode may still select a cloud computer before local capability detection, and a CUA test may become flaky when runs share the same home directory. These are bounded follow-ups rather than release-blocking defects. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Rebased the eight Ubuntu commits directly onto current The rebase preserves the newer shared work rather than replacing it: Windows shell/packaging, rooms, streamed computer actions, Auto mode and approval UI, updater changes, and the latest Box token/billing diagnostics. The PR now has no merge commit and is mergeable against the current base. Validation on the rebased head:

Reviewed the Linux capability contract, fail-closed platform gates, connection-descriptor handling, packaging verification, renderer smoke path, and UI screenshot. I also tested a combined tree against current main: Electron syntax checks, TypeScript, all 171 tests, and the production build pass. The branch's only current conflict is README.md; I will preserve the newer provider and credential documentation while integrating the Ubuntu beta guidance.
Summary
.deband static-runtime AppImage targets without invoking Swiftmain/ OpenMausBot 0.1.16, preserving Windows, rooms, streaming, Auto mode/approvals, updater, mascot, and Box-token validation workWhy
The harness is portable, but the desktop build was effectively macOS-only: packaging always compiled the Swift speech helper and selected
--mac, the window assumed inset traffic lights, onboarding exposed Apple permission flows on every Electron host, and local computer use depended on macOS paths.This PR establishes an honest Ubuntu desktop baseline. Chat and local agent CLIs work; existing Composio and Box/cloud paths remain available. Native features that do not yet have Linux evidence are unavailable at the capability, IPC, server, and UI layers rather than appearing to work.
Ubuntu desktop behavior
.deb+ FUSE-free AppImageThe existing macOS paths remain behind explicit Darwin gates. The Windows frameless shell, caption overlay, packaging, updater, and platform-aware UI from merged PR #17 remain intact.
UI evidence
Captured from the packaged app on Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS x86_64, GNOME Xorg. The This computer option is intentionally disabled; Auto uses a configured cloud box or stays off.

Authenticated Composio, Box/cloud, and OAuth checks remain explicitly unclaimed in #29.
Coordination and scope
This is the first cohesive delivery from #29 and intentionally does not close the umbrella issue. The eight focused Ubuntu commits are now directly rebased on
mainat45ae955; no merge commit remains.The rebase preserves the merged Windows work and every newer shared feature while keeping the Ubuntu boundaries platform-neutral (
OMB_USER_DATA, pure capabilities, explicit platform gates).Not included here: Linux local CUA distribution, Xorg input automation, Wayland capture/control, Linux dictation, ARM64 artifacts, or automatic Linux release publication. Those remain sequenced follow-ups in #29.
