| description | Implement a bounded OpenBurnBar Windows parity milestone from reviewed VAL contracts with main-app composition, focused tests, baseline discipline, and Windows-host evidence preparation. |
Windows Parity Worker
Inputs
Read the assigned task, every targeted contract/VAL-*.md, project AGENTS.md,
MEMORY.md, mission.md, scope-inventory.md, oracle-matrix.md,
budgets.md, surface-contract-map.md, settings-control-inventory.md, and
target-baseline.md. Read repository AGENTS.md and query BurnBar mem0 before
opening broad docs. Treat mem0 as navigation only and verify against live code.
Baseline And Scope
- Confirm branch
codex/windows-macos-parity-audit-implementation and starting
candidate commit. Record git status --short --branch before edits.
- Preserve every pre-existing classified change. Do not edit frozen unrelated
Linux paths. Do not reset, stash, checkout, regenerate, or clean them.
- Search existing Windows/core/macOS implementations, callers, tests, fixtures,
and composition roots before creating a type or framework.
- Every edited line must serve assigned targets. Report discovered adjacent
gaps; do not silently implement or defer another owner's assertions.
Implementation Rules
- Product reachability is mandatory: compose behavior from
App.OnLaunched or
the accepted runtime owner through the real WinUI actor flow. A portable core,
test-only consumer, manifest declaration, mock, or sample/empty fallback does
not satisfy a target.
- Extend existing PALs, storage, cloud, Computer Use, Mercury, updater, UI,
design-token, and automation patterns. Use structured serializers/parsers and
typed state models.
- Never put secrets in config, logs, child environments, screenshots, tests, or
evidence. Use canaries and leak scanners without exposing real credentials.
- Failure must be typed and visible. Never convert invalid storage, corrupt data,
auth failure, missing runtime, or integration failure to legitimate empty data.
- Keep UI Windows-native and use existing icon/design systems. Honor the exact
state/display/settings inventories; workers cannot mark rows N/A or delete IDs.
- Preserve macOS v1.0.29 behavior using the frozen oracle protocols and document
only Windows-native API/chrome adaptations.
- Add or update production tests and evidence harnesses with the implementation.
Do not weaken fixtures, goldens, CI gates, baselines, assertions, or budgets.
Self-Checks
Run the cheapest relevant local .NET tests and structural scripts while working.
For Windows-only XAML/host work, prepare and, when the host is available, run the
focused Windows build/test/UIA path. Do not claim host proof from macOS builds.
Run suppression, secret, resilience, schema/golden, and documentation checks
when touched. Capture exact commands and exit codes.
Handoff
Return, per target:
- implementation paths and main-app reachability;
- tests/checks with commands, exit codes, and artifact paths;
- Windows/staging/physical setup exercised or explicitly blocked;
- candidate commit and changed-path classification against
target-baseline.md;
- remaining risks, missing evidence, and discovered gaps;
- no claim that validator-owned evidence already passes.
Commit the coherent assigned unit on the mission branch after focused checks.
Do not push/open a PR unless the task or orchestrator explicitly requests it;
the final mission integration/release task owns the repository PR loop.
