v0.0.3

OpenPhone 0.0.3 Release Notes

Status: draft.

0.0.3 is a developer preview follow-up focused on hardening the GCP-backed
release path and tightening assistant/runtime safety defaults after 0.0.2.

Supported Devices

• Google Pixel 9a (tegu) - development target.

Highlights

• GCP-backed release validation now adds version/device concurrency guards,
  duplicate-release rejection, always-run cleanup for failed or canceled labs,
  IAP-scoped SSH/SCP access, and separate emulator-smoke build goals.
• Scheduled and manual GCP cache refresh now supports named lab lanes and
  latest labeled snapshot discovery for warm-cache release and lab runs.
• The assistant now defaults to confirm mode, and malformed or unknown action
  payloads fail closed during capability inference.
• Release, OTA, trajectory, and audit validators now derive contract details
  from the tracked JSON schemas instead of duplicating those rules in shell.
• Developer secret-handling helpers no longer expose broker/admin/provider
  credentials through host argv, stdout, or Android intent extras.
• Repo checks now add shellcheck coverage when available and tighten
  temporary-file cleanup around release and validation scripts.
• Public release docs now fix rendered /docs links and record 0.0.2 as the
  current published latest release.

Known Issues

• Not a consumer-ready ROM.
• Production signing is not used for this preview artifact.
• On-device OTA installation is not implemented; downloaded OTA ZIPs still
  require manual installation.
• Full autonomous multi-step agent loop is still in progress.
• Framework-owned UI hierarchy extraction and OCR are not implemented.
• Hardware validation remains incomplete and Pixel 9a focused.
• Google apps are not distributed by OpenPhone.

Artifacts

• Source archive: GitHub generated.
• Development OTA ZIP: pending release staging.
• Development OTA SHA-256: pending release staging.
• Artifact manifest: pending release staging.

v0.0.2

OpenPhone 0.0.2 Release Notes

Status: developer preview latest release.

0.0.2 is the first OpenPhone release intended to publish a device preview
artifact through the GitHub Actions release pipeline. It is still for ROM
developers and early collaborators, not daily-driver consumer use.

Supported Devices

• Google Pixel 9a (tegu) - development target.

Highlights

• Privileged OpenPhone Assistant app with chat, voice, task, island, and
  trajectory surfaces.
• system_server OpenPhone agent manager service and action/policy/audit
  plumbing.
• Settings and SystemUI OpenPhone surfaces for assistant launch, task grant,
  audit status, and active-task control.
• Agent Runtime V1 background jobs and validated eval/evidence report
  contracts.
• Model broker development proxy with token minting, allowlisting, privacy
  gates, bounded retry, and body-free audit events.
• First assistant-owned OTA feed client for downloading and SHA-256 verifying
  preview OTA zips before manual installation.
• GCP-backed emulator lab workflow for release-gated smoke testing.
• Release workflow that stages OTA artifacts, generates SHA256SUMS and
  ARTIFACTS.md, validates artifacts, and publishes them to GitHub Releases.

Known Issues

• Not a consumer-ready ROM.
• Production signing is not used for this preview artifact.
• On-device OTA installation is not implemented; downloaded OTA ZIPs still
  require manual installation.
• Full autonomous multi-step agent loop is still in progress.
• Framework-owned UI hierarchy extraction and OCR are not implemented.
• Hardware validation is incomplete and remains Pixel 9a focused.
• Google apps are not distributed by OpenPhone.

Artifacts

• Source archive: GitHub generated.
• Development OTA ZIP: attached to the GitHub Release when the release workflow
  succeeds.
• Development OTA SHA-256: attached as SHA256SUMS.
• Artifact manifest: attached as ARTIFACTS.md.

OpenPhone v0.0.1 Developer Preview

OpenPhone v0.0.1 is the first public developer preview of the OpenPhone repository.

OpenPhone is an AI-native Android OS that turns the phone into an agentic device: a system-level AI agent that can see the screen, operate apps, remember commitments, monitor phone events, and continue work in the background with user review and auditability built into the OS.

This release is for developers, ROM builders, and early collaborators. It is not a consumer-ready phone OS.

Highlights:

• Public developer preview for the OpenPhone AI-native phone OS.
• README, docs, legal, contribution, release, and validation structure prepared for public review.
• Pixel 9a (tegu) developer-preview target documentation.
• Privileged assistant app, dynamic island surface, OS-mediated action architecture, proactive watcher/background-run model, and audit/trajectory validation docs.
• CI, eval, and release workflow scaffolding.

Important limitations:

• No OTA ZIP is attached to this release yet.
• Pixel 9a is the first development target.
• Google apps, Google Mobile Services packages, vendor blobs without redistribution rights, private signing keys, private firmware, and provider API keys are not distributed by OpenPhone.
