Ship RemoMouse 0.1.0 public beta

[kefrulz]

Summary

Ships RemoMouse 0.1.0 as a native macOS Tahoe menu-bar public beta for the first-generation Siri Remote.

The app uses the public IOKit HID path for buttons and a narrowly filtered MultitouchSupport bridge for the remote touch surface. It posts local Core Graphics input only after explicit Accessibility approval.

User-facing behavior

• Touch-surface pointer movement with bounded acceleration
• Primary click, macOS-style double-click, drag, and secondary click
• Trackpad-style continuous pixel scrolling with gesture phases and cancellable momentum
• One-thumb right-edge scrolling and two-finger scrolling
• Pointer/Scroll mode switching from Play/Pause
• Pointer speed control from the volume buttons
• Mission Control from Home/TV
• Pause/resume from Siri
• Touch re-enumeration after Bluetooth disconnect/reconnect
• No automatic Accessibility prompt on ordinary relaunches

Repository and release engineering

• MIT license, contribution guide, code of conduct, security policy, architecture and installation docs
• Issue and pull-request templates
• Commit-pinned GitHub Actions CI
• Tag/version validation, release build, signature verification, ZIP/checksum generation
• Draft prerelease gate before public release
• Dependabot configuration
• No sensitive remote identifiers or raw hardware captures committed

Hardware evidence

• Validated against a paired first-generation black Siri Remote
• Consumer buttons are captured through public user-space IOKit HID
• Touch is filtered to the exact Apple vendor/product pair before use
• Motion diagnostics delivered no usable reports, so Air Pointer is deliberately deferred rather than simulated unreliably
• Sanitized capability reports are in docs/hardware/

Verification

• swift test --parallel — 41 tests passing
• Scripts/package-app.sh release
• codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 .build/RemoMouse.app
• Workflow YAML parsed successfully
• Version metadata is 0.1.0
• Privacy scan passed
• Independent release review completed; Critical findings resolved

Beta boundary

Version 0.1.0 is ad-hoc signed and not notarized. It intentionally defers Air Pointer, per-app profiles, editable mappings, onboarding, launch at login, and a full settings window. These limitations are documented rather than presented as complete features.
