computer-use-linux 0.7.29

Native Linux desktop control over MCP and CLI — semantic AT-SPI accessibility trees, multi-compositor window targeting (GNOME, KDE/KWin, Hyprland, niri, COSMIC, i3, X11), bounded screenshots, Wayland/X11 input, and an on-screen agent activity indicator.

# Contributing to computer-use-linux

Thanks for helping improve Linux desktop control for MCP hosts.

## Development Setup

```bash
git clone https://github.com/agent-sh/computer-use-linux.git
cd computer-use-linux
cargo check --locked
cargo test --locked
```

Development and test builds keep file and line information for backtraces with
`debug = "line-tables-only"`. For a debugging session that needs local variables
and types, use `CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_DEBUG=2 cargo build --locked`. CI disables dev
debug information. Release settings are unchanged.

For npm wrapper work:

```bash
node --check npm/install.js
node --check npm/bin/computer-use-linux.js
npm pack --dry-run
```

## Before Opening a PR

Run the same gates CI runs:

```bash
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo check --locked --all-targets
cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test --locked --no-fail-fast
scripts/install_sh_test.sh
scripts/mcp_safety_check.py
scripts/check_plugins.sh
agnix .
```

If you changed release packaging, also run:

```bash
cargo publish --dry-run --locked
npm pack --dry-run
```

## PR Guidelines

- Keep changes focused and explain the desktop/session you tested on.
- Include `computer-use-linux doctor` output for compositor, portal, or accessibility issues.
- Preserve the MCP safety annotations when adding or changing tools.
- Update `README.md`, `npm/README.md`, and `skills/computer-use-linux/SKILL.md` when user-facing commands change.
- After editing `skills/computer-use-linux/`, copy it into `plugins/computer-use-linux/skills/`. A release bumps the version in `Cargo.toml`, `package.json`, the plugin launcher, both plugin manifests, and `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`. `scripts/check_plugins.sh` enforces both.
- Use conventional commit prefixes when practical (`fix:`, `feat:`, `docs:`, `chore:`).
