and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [Unreleased]
## [0.7.2] - 2026-09-26
### Added
- Native X11 screenshot route: one `GetImage` on the root window over the
X11 connection, used only on a native X11 session (never XWayland) and
tried after GNOME Shell and the portal, before `gnome-screenshot`.
Pixels are device pixels, the space xdotool input and X11 window origins
use. MATE/X11 had no working route: xdg-desktop-portal-gtk has no
Screenshot, and gnome-screenshot 41 blacks out 3/4 of the frame at
window-scaling-factor 2. `doctor` reports the route as
`platform.x11_display` and `capabilities.screenshot` entry `x11`;
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_SCREENSHOT_BACKEND=x11` pins it. (#155)
### Fixed
- `doctor` no longer reports the XDG Screenshot, ScreenCast, or InputCapture
portal as available when the portal does not export that interface.
`busctl introspect` exits 0 with only a header line for a missing interface,
so each entry now requires its methods (Screenshot: `Screenshot`). Readiness
gains `can_capture_screenshots` and a blocker when no screenshot route is
detected; this is detection, not a test capture. (#156)
- X11/EWMH window origins now come from the X server
(`TranslateCoordinates` to the root window) instead of `wmctrl -lG`, which
counts the client's offset inside its frame twice. Window-targeted
screenshots cropped the wrong area, relative clicks were offset by the same
amount, off-screen warnings misfired on maximized windows, and
`move_window` reported a mismatch after a correct move. Bounds are the
client area; `move_window` now verifies the frame origin it requested. When
the X server cannot be asked, the origin is reported unknown instead of the
shifted wmctrl value. (#157)
## [0.7.1] - 2026-09-19
### Changed
- `get_app_state` now returns its screenshot as a structured `image` content
block (the same shape as the `screenshot` tool) followed by the JSON report
as text and `structuredContent`. The JSON `screenshot` field keeps the
metadata (dimensions, scale, format, bytes) but no longer embeds the base64
`data_url`, which hosts were counting as ~30K text tokens per call. Callers
that read `screenshot.data_url` from the JSON should read the image block
instead. (#145)
### Fixed
- `type_text` on X11 no longer delivers characters out of order. The xdotool
backend passed `--delay 0`, which lets XTEST key events race each other on
some X servers (seen on Cinnamon / Mint 22). It now uses xdotool's 12ms
per-character default and scales the command timeout with text length.
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_XDOTOOL_TYPE_DELAY_MS` overrides the delay. (#147)
- The unscoped-tree warning from `get_app_state` no longer tells a caller that
already passed a `pid` or window target to pass a target. When the target
matched no AT-SPI application root, the warning now points at the app's
missing accessibility support, `list_apps`, and a lower `max_nodes` instead.
## [0.7.0] - 2026-09-16
### Added
- `get_app_state` reports `tree_scoped` and `accessibility_tree_truncated`,
warns in `message` when no app target narrowed the AT-SPI tree to one app,
and documents every scoping parameter in its schema, the server
instructions, the skill, and the Pi guide. Unscoped calls used to return the
whole desktop tree silently and could exhaust a small context window.
### Fixed
- Skill Install section now separates Pi native install from PATH CLI/MCP
install, so `pi install` is not described as sufficient for shell `doctor`
and `setup`.
## [0.6.0] - 2026-09-15
### Added
- GTK4 delivered-event coordinate probe and an opt-in GTK3/MCP semantic-click
regression that verifies actual button activation at scales 1 and 2.
- Explicit foreground `guard-accessibility` command with a passive AT-SPI
listener and verified GNOME toolkit-accessibility reassertion. Ctrl-C or
SIGTERM stops the guard without disabling other accessibility clients or
restoring an old saved setting. Never started automatically by MCP or setup.
- Optional `complete_interaction` MCP notification, enabled by
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_NOTIFY_ON_COMPLETE=1`, with bounded notification execution
and graceful handling of unavailable desktop notification services.
### Fixed
- KDE Plasma terminal paste uses terminal shortcuts, including uxterm detection.
- Setup verifies saved GNOME accessibility settings instead of reporting an
unverified write as success.
- Plain left element/selector clicks prefer recognized native AT-SPI activation
actions over toolkit bounds, avoiding GTK3 HiDPI and GTK4 zero-origin pointer
conversion when a matching action is available. Explicit coordinates, right
clicks, and multi-clicks preserve pointer semantics.
- Clarified that relative click/scroll coordinates use the clipped window
screenshot crop origin before preview resizing, not raw surface or widget
coordinates, and require a window target.
## [0.5.0] - 2026-08-31
### Added
- The Pi package now exposes native `computer_use_linux_*` tools without a
separate MCP adapter. One small loader stays active initially, then uses
Pi's additive dynamic-tool loading to expose selected tools with their exact
generated MCP schemas only when desktop control is needed.
- Pi keeps one lazily started, session-scoped computer-use-linux process,
forwards cancellation, serializes desktop actions, preserves image results,
bounds text output, and rejects binary/schema version drift.
### Changed
- Pi installation is now one command (`pi install
npm:@agent-sh/computer-use-linux`) and no longer writes
`~/.pi/agent/mcp.json`. Existing adapter-based entries are detected and
reported for non-destructive manual cleanup.
## [0.4.10] - 2026-08-29
### Added
- An explicitly opt-in `run_shell` MCP tool supports bounded same-user shell
execution for trusted remote MCP deployments. The tool is absent unless
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_ENABLE_SHELL=1`, clears ambient credentials, requires
visible environment additions, enforces timeout/output limits and process-
group cleanup, and emits command-digest audit records.
### Fixed
- Wayland literal text now uses `wtype` on compatible compositors when portal
keyboard input is unavailable, preserving Unicode before the ydotool
fallback. Known-incompatible GNOME, KDE/Plasma, and COSMIC sessions do not
advertise or select wtype, and a launched failure never replays the text.
- Absolute uinput pointer axes now end at the final logical desktop pixel, so
edge coordinates are advertised and clamped consistently.
- Capability maps now advertise AT-SPI only when its bus is reachable and a
toolkit accessibility status is actually enabled.
- Buttons outside the absolute uinput device's left, middle, and right set now
fall through to a backend that can synthesize them instead of becoming left clicks.
- Temporary KWin script callbacks now accept one matching response from the
current `org.kde.KWin` bus owner, reject spoofed or replayed responses, and
time out the complete script transaction before cleaning up owned temporary
state without disturbing a colliding callback registration.
- KWin window listings now classify Plasma 6 native Wayland and Xwayland
clients when the legacy client flags are unavailable.
- GNOME extension setup now reports when changed files require an already-active
Shell extension to reload before its newly installed DBus methods are served,
and requires that reload when the previous extension state cannot be read.
## [0.4.9] - 2026-08-12
### Fixed
- Bounded AT-SPI traversals now use concurrent indexed child reads, count both
queued references and failed child lookups against their work budgets, and
enforce a snapshot deadline so wide, malformed, or stalled accessibility
trees cannot allocate or retain unbounded work.
## [0.4.8] - 2026-08-12
### Fixed
- AT-SPI state capture now reaches deeply nested GTK4 controls such as Nautilus
file cells by using a 1,000-node default budget and depth-32 traversal, with
bounded 2,000-node and depth-64 limits shared by the MCP and CLI paths.
- `install.sh` now treats unavailable window-targeting or exact-focus support as
a degraded platform capability when MCP registration, accessibility trees,
and development input are ready, while missing core prerequisites remain hard
failures. The same classification applies when `jq` is unavailable.
## [0.4.7] - 2026-08-09
### Fixed
- `install.sh` now recognizes Artix as pacman-based, chooses an explicitly
requested or unambiguous package manager for unknown distros, treats
ydotool as an optional fallback, installs the required xdotool keyboard
backend on X11, distinguishes pointer-only direct uinput from keyboard-ready
input in `doctor`, reports Wayland RemoteDesktop pointer availability
separately from its required keyboard contract, and skips automatic ydotoold
setup when a systemd user manager is unavailable.
## [0.4.6] - 2026-08-05
### Fixed
- Native X11 coordinate clicks now use one supervised
`xdotool mousemove -- X Y click --repeat N BUTTON` command after the
absolute pointer and eligible portal paths, with `ydotool` fallback only
when `xdotool` cannot be spawned. Standard left, middle, and right buttons
are supported; extended buttons retain the existing fallback path. Set
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_FORCE_YDOTOOL_POINTER=1` to skip xdotool.
## [0.4.5] - 2026-08-01
### Fixed
- Stateful ydotool operations now complete while retaining the serialized input
lock after caller cancellation, preventing paired button or key events from
being interrupted. Drag also attempts button release after intermediate
failures.
- Scaled KWin sessions now map logical window geometry through the compositor's
virtual screen geometry while preserving logical portal input coordinates.
- Hyprland window bounds now map against grim's complete global output union,
including negative origins and mixed or fractional scales, and are omitted
when monitor metadata is unavailable or invalid.
- Mirrored KScreen outputs are excluded from the portal monitor layout.
## [0.4.4] - 2026-07-31
### Fixed
- KWin window listing and activation now support both Plasma 6
(`windowList`/`activeWindow`) and Plasma 5 (`clientList`/`activeClient`).
- ydotool is now used only when its CLI, daemon, and socket support the raw
event semantics Computer Use emits. Compatibility probing works without
`XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, uses an isolated private socket, and rejects CLI errors
that are returned with a successful exit status.
- X11 `xdotool type` now disables per-character delay, and a command that
starts but fails is no longer replayed through ydotool. The ydotool fallback
is limited to failures to launch xdotool, avoiding duplicate partial input.
## [0.4.3] - 2026-07-31
### Fixed
- Hyprland window activation now checks `hyprctl dispatch` stdout instead of
trusting its exit status, so an exit-zero `Invalid dispatcher` response falls
through to the compatible focus dispatcher. (#62)
- Modifier chords sent through the ydotool fallback now include a 100 ms
inter-event delay so applications such as Firefox do not drop simultaneous
modifier and key events. (#63)
## [0.4.2] - 2026-07-25
### Fixed
- X11 keyboard input now goes through `xdotool` (XTEST) instead of ydotool.
ydotool injects raw evdev scancodes into a virtual uinput device, which X11
re-interprets through the active XKB layout — so `press_key "Return"` and
chords like `ctrl+a` landed as stray characters, and `type_text` mangled
symbols and digits (`_` → `%`, `1` → `+`) even on a plain US layout. XTEST
resolves keysyms against the live layout. Wayland behaviour is unchanged, and
the ydotool path remains the fallback when `xdotool` is missing or fails.
`doctor` now reports an `xdotool` input backend on X11. Override with
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_FORCE_YDOTOOL_KEYBOARD=1` (opt out) or
`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_FORCE_XDOTOOL_KEYBOARD=1` (force on). (#58)
- Portal `scroll` direction on KDE Plasma Wayland: vertical discrete axis steps
are inverted for the xdg-desktop-portal-kde discrete path so `direction:
"up"|"down"` matches viewport motion. ydotool / REL_WHEEL polarity is
unchanged. Override with `COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_PORTAL_SCROLL_INVERT=0|1`. (#56)
## [0.4.1] - 2026-07-15
### Fixed
- Targeted `get_app_state` screenshots now crop to the resolved target window,
and refuse the full-desktop fallback when a target was requested but window
bounds cannot be resolved or the window is entirely off-screen. (#48)
- Hyprland window bounds are normalized against each window's monitor origin
and fractional scale so portal screenshot coordinates align on
multi-monitor and scaled (e.g. 1.8x/2.0x) setups. (#48)
- Wayland sessions are recognized via `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` when
`XDG_SESSION_TYPE` is unavailable, so the portal input fallback engages in
environments that don't export the session type. (#48)
- Window focus verification now allows up to one second for compositor
workspace/focus transitions before reporting activation failure. (#48)
## [0.4.0] - 2026-07-15
### Added
- Generic X11/EWMH window backend so `list_windows`, `focused_window`,
`activate_window`, `move_window`, and `resize_window` work on X11 window
managers without a dedicated backend (Cinnamon/Muffin, MATE/Marco,
Xfce/xfwm4, Openbox, and others). (#41)
- Pi coding agent extension package: `pi install npm:@agent-sh/computer-use-linux`
now provides Linux desktop control tools through `pi-mcp-adapter`'s MCP
proxy without a separate pi-specific skill. (#42)
### Fixed
- Hyprland 0.55 exact window focus: `activate_window` now tries the 0.55 Lua
focus dispatcher (`hl.dsp.focus`) first and falls back to the legacy
`focuswindow` dispatcher on older releases. (#45)
- Exported MCP tool schemas no longer carry the non-standard `uint`/`uint8`/
`uint16`/`uint32`/`uint64`/`usize` `format` annotations emitted by
`schemars`, which produced repeated warnings in MCP clients; integer types
and numeric constraints are preserved. (#45)
- GNOME extension package bootstrap on Ubuntu no longer tries to install the
nonexistent `gnome-shell-extension-tool` apt package; `gnome-shell` is
installed only when `gnome-extensions` is missing and apt can provide it. (#40)
## [0.3.1] - 2026-07-03
### Fixed
- A scroll with a window target but no x/y/element_index focused the window and
then scrolled whatever sat under the cursor while reporting success.
Window-targeted scroll now defaults its point to the centre of the resolved
window (and errors with a pass-x/y hint when bounds are unavailable). Scroll
results also gain the same off-screen coordinate warning click already had.
## [0.3.0] - 2026-07-03
### Added
- Exposed a focused Rust library surface for downstream diagnostics,
accessibility snapshots, screenshots, and server integration while preserving
the existing CLI binaries and standalone naming. (#35)
- Input-landing feedback: targeted keyboard input results append
focused-element feedback from AT-SPI and warn when no editable element holds
focus.
- Off-screen detection: screenshot, click, and input results warn when the
target window or coordinate is partially or fully off-screen.
- Window geometry tools: `move_window` and `resize_window` via the GNOME Shell
extension backend.
## [0.2.9] - 2026-06-22
### Fixed
- GTK4 applications (Nautilus, Text Editor, baobab, and others) now return their
full accessibility tree instead of a single `role: "unknown"` root with
`child_count: 0`. Reads were routed through the `atspi` `P2P` trait's
`object_as_accessible`, whose no-peer fallback builds a proxy with a path but
no destination; on the shared a11y bus that fails with `ServiceUnknown` for
any app that does not advertise a peer-to-peer bus address. Modern GTK4 apps
do not implement the legacy `GetApplicationBusAddress`, so they hit the broken
fallback while GTK3/Chromium/Electron apps kept working. Reads now use
`ObjectRefExt::as_accessible_proxy`, which always pins the destination to the
object's bus name. (#31)
## [0.2.8] - 2026-06-17
### Changed
- Published a metadata-only patch release so local and downstream consumers can
pin the already-validated `computer-use-linux` package state.
## [0.2.7] - 2026-06-16
### Fixed
- Window-relative clicks now require a verified target window and resolved
bounds before coordinates are translated, preventing clicks from silently
landing against stale or originless window data.
- Long `ydotool type --file -` input now gets a bounded timeout with both a
fixed process budget and a text-length budget while stdout/stderr are drained
asynchronously.
- KDE clipboard text input now uses the session DBus API directly and waits
long enough for large paste payloads before restoring the previous clipboard;
Klipper proxy creation and method calls share the same bounded DBus timeout.
- Failed accessibility tree extraction clears cached nodes so later
element-targeted actions cannot use stale coordinates.
### Changed
- The COSMIC helper source path and runtime override surface now use standalone
`computer-use-linux` naming only.
## [0.2.6] - 2026-06-06
### Fixed
- Screenshots now work from background processes (systemd user services,
non-interactive parent shells) on GNOME Wayland. The GNOME Shell DBus method
rejects callers that do not own an allowlisted bus name, and the XDG portal
cancels non-interactive requests when there is no foreground window, so both
prior backends failed in that context. `gnome-screenshot` is now a third
capture fallback that works regardless of session context, bounded by a 20s
timeout so a hung capture degrades to a clear error instead of blocking.
### Added
- `COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_SCREENSHOT_BACKEND` to force a single screenshot backend
(`gnome-shell`, `portal`, or `gnome-screenshot`), skipping the fallback chain
for pinned/background deployments and debugging.
- `doctor` now probes `gnome-screenshot` and lists it under
`capabilities.screenshot` when present.
## [0.2.5] - 2026-06-05
### Added
- Added build-time GNOME extension / DBus identity overrides (`CUL_*`) so the
`codex-desktop-linux` embedded copy can share this source while keeping its
Codex extension identity, plus runtime `CODEX_COMPUTER_USE_*` aliases for the
embedded input/backend knobs.
### Documentation
- Cross-referenced the sibling `agent-workspace-linux` project in the README.
### Fixed
- Bounded screenshot payloads by default before returning them to MCP hosts,
while exposing opt-in screenshot sizing controls and coordinate metadata for
downscaled captures.
- Added opt-in JPEG screenshot output with a caller-selected quality so agents
can choose compression before the byte cap forces additional resizing.
- Ported downstream Linux readiness fixes: `doctor` now treats direct
`/dev/uinput` and the XDG RemoteDesktop portal as valid development-input
backends instead of requiring `ydotoold` in every ready setup.
- Ported downstream session hydration fixes for X11 launches by carrying
`XAUTHORITY` through environment hydration and checking the same-user namespace
init process when it owns the graphical session environment.
### Security
- Pinned the release upload GitHub Action to a commit SHA in CI.
## [0.2.4] - 2026-05-25
Primarily a documentation release that refreshes the crates.io and npm README
pages; also bumps the MCP server's advertised version string to match.
### Added
- Documented the `screenshot` MCP tool and the `doctor` capability map, which
were missing from the README tool list and the MCP safety-contract table.
- A new "Environment variables" section covering runtime overrides
(`CU_DISABLE_ABS_POINTER`, the `COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_FORCE_PORTAL` /
`FORCE_YDOTOOL` pointer and keyboard knobs) and the npm wrapper install knobs
(`COMPUTER_USE_LINUX_BIN`, `DOWNLOAD_BASE`, `SKIP_DOWNLOAD`, `LOCAL_*`).
### Changed
- Stopped pinning explicit versions throughout the docs (README, npm README,
Hermes skill). Install commands are now bare and download links use GitHub's
`/releases/latest` redirect, so the docs no longer drift on every release.
- Dropped the `version` field from the Hermes skill frontmatter (optional per
the agentskills.io standard) so it no longer mirrors the tool version.
- Friendlier README opening: warmer tagline and a verb-driven summary, with no
sections removed.
### Fixed
- `install.sh` now reads the current `doctor` readiness schema
(`.readiness.blockers`, empty array means ready) instead of the removed
`.ready` / `.checks` fields, so a fully provisioned system reports ready
instead of always failing the doctor step. Restored the `install.sh`
executable bit. (#9)
## [0.2.3] - 2026-05-22
### Added
- A `sync reminder` CI workflow (`.github/workflows/sync-reminder.yml`) that
opens (or updates) a `codex-sync`-labeled issue when a merge to `main` touches
the crate sources (`src/**`, `Cargo.toml`, `gnome-shell-extension/**`), so the
change can be propagated into the `codex-desktop-linux` embedded copy with its
codex naming re-applied.
### Changed
- Bumped to establish version-enumeration parity with the `codex-desktop-linux`
embedded copy (`0.2.3-linux-alpha1`). The two crates are kept on the same
enumeration on purpose: a mismatch signals that a sync between them is pending.
## [0.2.2] - 2026-05-21
### Added
- Added a uinput absolute pointer (`abs_pointer.rs`) that creates a private
`ABS_X`/`ABS_Y` device mapped to the portal screenshot coordinate space, so
clicks land at the requested pixel on multi-monitor / HiDPI setups instead of
being distorted by pointer acceleration and fractional scaling. Wired into
`click()` with `ydotool` fallback; opt out via `CU_DISABLE_ABS_POINTER`.
- Added a Hermes-compatible skill tap at `skills/computer-use-linux/SKILL.md`
and an `agnix` CI gate for agent-sh skill/config hygiene.
- Added agent-sh project-health files: `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `SECURITY.md`,
`CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, and `CODEOWNERS`.
- Synced upstream Linux Computer Use text-input improvements: Wayland remote
desktop portal keyboard sessions, KDE/Plasma clipboard paste fallback for
layout-safe `type_text`, and literal keysym typing on non-KDE Wayland
sessions before falling back to `ydotool`.
- Synced upstream Hyprland/session hydration fixes, including systemd user
environment discovery, common command path hydration, `HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE`
inference, and rounded window-id disambiguation.
### Fixed
- Omitted the debug-only `received` echo field from the generated MCP
`outputSchema` for `ActionOutput` and `ActivateWindowOutput`. `schemars`
serialized `Option<serde_json::Value>` as the boolean schema `true`, which
strict MCP clients (mcphub, Claude Desktop, `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`'s
`AssertObjectSchema`) reject, failing the whole `tools/list` response.
Affected `click`, `drag`, `perform_action`, `press_key`, `scroll`,
`set_value`, `type_text`, and `activate_window`. (#1)
### Changed
- Updated repository, release, package, and CI links from `avifenesh` to the
`agent-sh/computer-use-linux` org repo.
- `setup_accessibility` and `doctor` now understand the AT-SPI
`org.a11y.Status IsEnabled` path in addition to GNOME toolkit accessibility.
## [0.2.1] - 2026-05-14
### Added
- npm wrapper package (`@agent-sh/computer-use-linux`) for Node.js users. It
downloads and verifies the matching GitHub release binaries at install time.
- Tag-driven GitHub Actions publishing for crates.io and npm using repository
secrets.
- CI release gates for locked Rust checks, clippy, tests, private rustdoc,
cargo publish dry-run, cargo audit, npm wrapper smoke tests, and an MCP
protocol/safety contract check.
- MCP `ToolAnnotations` that mark read-only observation tools separately from
mutating desktop-control tools.
### Changed
- Switch the COSMIC protocol dependency from a pinned Git revision to the
published `cosmic-protocols` `0.2.0` crate so `computer-use-linux` can be
published on crates.io.
- Ship the `computer-use-linux-cosmic` helper alongside prebuilt release
binaries and install it from `install.sh` so COSMIC window targeting works
outside `cargo install`.
- Keep the MCP `serverInfo.version` aligned with the Cargo package version.
- Remove unused direct `libc` and `png` dependencies from the crate manifest.
### Documentation
- Add Hermes Agent CLI setup commands and clarify the registered MCP tool
names / toolset.
- Add npm install instructions and fix the prebuilt binary install example to
match the release assets, which are raw binaries with `.sha256` files rather
than tar archives.
- Document the mutating-tool safety contract for MCP hosts and npm users.
- Pin README and npm README install examples to the released `0.2.1` packages
and `v0.2.1` GitHub release assets.
## [0.2.0] - 2026-05-14
### Added
- **Multi-compositor window targeting**: native backends for **KWin**
(KDE Plasma), **Hyprland**, **i3**, and **COSMIC** Wayland alongside
the existing GNOME Shell backend. Window listing, focus tracking, and
activation now work across all five compositors with automatic backend
selection at runtime.
- **COSMIC Wayland helper** (`computer-use-linux-cosmic` binary) that
speaks the `zcosmic_toplevel_info_v1` and `zcosmic_toplevel_manager_v1`
protocols, used by the main server when running under COSMIC.
- **`windowing/` crate-internal module** consolidating all backends behind
a uniform `WindowBackend` trait, with a registry that picks the right
backend per session.
- **Datagram ydotool socket support** in addition to the existing stream
sockets. Aligns with `ydotoold`'s newer default and avoids a
reconnection penalty per input event.
- **Raw-keycode keyboard input** path for ydotool, fixing keystroke
delivery on layouts where the symbolic keysym path was unreliable.
- **Compact Linux accessibility trees** in `get_app_state` — deduplicated
redundant container nodes for smaller, more focused snapshots.
- **Enriched AT-SPI state readback** — element states (`focused`,
`selected`, `expanded`, `checked`, …) now flow through to the response
schema for `get_app_state`.
### Changed
- Server-side rejection of empty window-backend results (returns a
structured "no backend available" error instead of an empty list).
- Stale-client eviction in the chrome-extension host path on backend
side (host binary itself not shipped here — see Removed).
### Removed
- **`codex-chrome-extension-host` binary** is intentionally not shipped
in this fork — it is a Chrome native messaging host scoped to Codex
browser automation (`com.openai.codexextension`), unrelated to the
computer-use MCP. The cosmic helper binary is renamed to
`computer-use-linux-cosmic` to match the project naming.
### Synced from upstream
- This release tracks
[`ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux`](https://github.com/ilysenko/codex-desktop-linux)
through commit `4d6fd96` (May 2026), then re-applies the rebrand
(DBus names, env vars, GNOME extension UUID, cache-file prefixes).
Upstream credit goes to ilysenko, mosesmrima, PinguuSS, and the
original Codex contributors.
## [0.1.0] - 2026-05-13
### Added
- Initial public release as a standalone repository, extracted from
[`codex-desktop-linux-local-stack`](https://github.com/avifenesh/codex-desktop-linux).
- Linux Computer Use MCP server (`computer-use-linux` binary) speaking
[rmcp](https://docs.rs/rmcp) over stdio.
- 15 MCP tools: `doctor`, `setup_accessibility`, `setup_window_targeting`,
`list_apps`, `get_app_state`, `list_windows`, `focused_window`,
`activate_window`, `click`, `drag`, `scroll`, `press_key`, `type_text`,
`perform_action`, `set_value`.
- AT-SPI accessibility tree with semantic element selectors (role / name /
text / states) for `click`, `perform_action`, and `set_value`.
- GNOME Shell window targeting via the bundled
`computer-use-linux@avifenesh.dev` Shell extension (DBus service
`dev.avifenesh.ComputerUseLinux.WindowControl`), with automatic fallback to
`org.gnome.Shell.Introspect` when the extension is not installed.
- Screenshot capture through GNOME Shell DBus (preferred) and
`org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot` (fallback). Supports full-screen,
per-app, per-window, region, and per-element scopes.
- Input synthesis through the Wayland remote-desktop portal when available,
falling back to `ydotool` / `ydotoold` for keystrokes and pointer events.
- Best-effort terminal-window enrichment: maps each terminal window to its
active TTY and foreground process for targeted `type_text` / `press_key`.
- `doctor` subcommand reporting AT-SPI bus health, GNOME Shell introspection
status, extension status, ydotool socket readiness, and portal coverage in
a single JSON document.
### Architecture
- Wayland-first; X11 best-effort through AT-SPI + ydotool.
- Validated against GNOME 50.1 on Wayland (Ubuntu 25.10).
- KDE / Sway / Hyprland untested — see README support matrix.
