  • Local search and optional AI-assisted search.

  • Integrity manifest, local ledger, and warning state.

  • Audit export.

  • Manual certified-copy email witness.

  • Platform secret storage for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS app launches.

  • CI validation for macOS, Windows, and unsigned iPadOS builds.

Next Priorities#

  • Richer evidence witness receipts beyond manual email.

  • Packaged macOS signing and notarization.

  • Real Windows workstation and iPad device validation.

  • Better search result grouping and index migration.
