The Makepad Builder (tools/makepad_builder: the Windows download is makepad-builder.zip with the Builder's source; macOS and Linux run makepad.sh), the CI runner (tools/ci), cargo-makepad, the agents tool, the root workspace and the documents.
Covers work 6f1e44649..2b1a41df4 outside platform, draw, widgets, libs, apps and examples:
- wm: the Android super-app compiles tiles on the phone against the host engine
- cargo-makepad: the super-app APK is packed by `android dyn-pack`, in Rust
- widgets, storybook: the widget catalogue app, some eighty new widgets, a theme store with mixable style sheets, and the rule that a press belongs to
- wm, widgets: the style tween starts with all eight weights, and the new style sheet takes the last number instead of macOS's
- platform: the Android desk swipes at 120 Hz — offscreen render passes and framebuffers cached, SVG meshes kept, font families that complete
- cef: a page's audio can be captured instead of played
- Button: activate from the keyboard when focused (#1241)
- libs/ai: exclude hub_ui and services from the AI workspace (#1242)
- flow: the flow-ui app and the flowgraph canvas return to the workspace, with staged progress in libs/flow
- svg: a stroke that bends tighter than its half width collapses its inner edge to the corner
- the accent a name is written with stops deciding whether search finds it
- macOS: keep the paint clock beating while the window is minimized (#1244)
- Linux: only link libdrm for the direct backend (#1245)
- cargo-makepad: find dependency crate dirs via cargo metadata (#1246)
- app_main!: only ship the fonts an app declares (#1247)
- ai stems: LaneDemixer, VocalsModel and the platform Stage origin/main needs
- platform, widgets, wm: every Vulkan pass renders through a negative-height viewport again, so a Wayland or X11 window stands upright, and no capture
- calendar: its own colour contrast is named explicitly, now that the theme store exports one under the same name through the widgets glob
- widgets: the supersampled resolve and the map's shadow mask sample their textures as stored, like every other render texture
- platform: every OpenGL texture pass stores top-left rows, custom cameras included, and culls with the winding its inverted projection gives
- platform, wm, director: a hosted app's software frame arrives as a top-left texture and the window manager and the director carry no flip term at al
- widgets, platform: the last twelve warnings go
- The Builder compiles itself again from the Makepad tree Scope's release pins and removes the source snapshots nothing is built from any more
- The regex engine accepts \b and \B, reports the earliest match so a scan can resume after it, and can decide word boundaries on ASCII so a code sear
- workspace: Scope's settings carry the code map's tab width and the directories each prepared project hides from its map
- AGENTS.md: a platform change made for one application needs the user's feedback and checks first, and app specifics never leak into the shared layer
- wm: the desktop style menu lists each style once
- cef, video, platform: what Stage's browser needs from the shared layers
- macOS: re-arm the display links when a window leaves the Dock (#1251)
- platform, wm: work builds again on iOS, tvOS and wasm, and the window manager is warning-free on Windows
- ci: tools/ci, a Splash runtime that watches a branch and runs every ci.splash it finds
- stitch: the crate says what the rest of the repository says about its license
- ci: a run is one target dir and one cargo batch per target, and the wall draws
- ci: the wall shows THIS run and is fit for an OLED
- ci: untested is grey and nothing else
- ci: warming fills the cache and blames nobody
- Vulkan: stop printing the loader's startup narration by default (#1252)
- ci: the terminal gets its pty helper, director is a desktop tool, and a refused input is asked again
- platform: no warnings on tvOS and linux_direct, and a missing pty helper says so
- apps: what the CI box found
- ScrollBar: add `show_handle` for a view that scrolls without a grabbable bar (#1254)
- cargo-makepad: keep the android SDK at a stable path (#1253)
- ci: the window is a dashboard
- Remove Flow, asset and VJ applications moved into Stage
- ci: a stop or a restart is not a test result
- ci: a quiet header, a build that visibly moves, and scripts that leave the machine alone
- widgets: children a lookup discovers reach the dump, the snapshot and the flood searches
- tests: the workspace suite, run as a whole for the first time, passes outside the example UI tests
- platform: a hidden window wears no hands-off frame
- examples: the UI tests pass, for the reasons they failed
- ci: a library's warnings turn the workspace block yellow, and a desktop tool is not warmed for the web
- libs: no warnings in the workspace check on any row
- ci: the workspace script gives the wall back after warming
- ci: a judgement is never lost to the way it was phrased, and every "retry" of the bridge is retried
- tests: the last three failures of the CI box's night
- Linux: fix window chrome button hovers and how maximized/fullscreen windows work (#1255)
- ci: the header names the tip being tested
- tools: makepad-screen is makepad-agents, and its binary is `agents`
- gif: the crate's doc examples compile
- ci: the tests are the platform's own, in release, in two minutes
- Tooltip: position anchored tooltips in the same draw (#1256)
- cef: a hosted browser survives its host's exit
- ci: a card is as high as its content
- tests: the three binaries over ten seconds in release come under it
- widgets: let the host install script mods into every Splash isolate
- widgets: a pooled test context forgets the last case's Escape claim
- widgets: the pooled test context's resets replace the globals
- wm: the shell menu says what it did, and the CI waits for that
- platform: the storage module says how much a volume has free
- git: the memory ledger can take what it is asked for
- ci: a driven app takes every key once, and the storage module builds for the browser
- RadioButton: fix its touch hover state and click-off behavior (#1258)
- HtmlLink: fix its hover and pressed states (#1257)
- RadioButton: take key focus on the click, not on the press (#1259)
- script: re-entrant dispatch, thread index validation, Any-based handle downcasts, UTF-8 previews; regex: never_loop fix
- script: port Octoscript WS1 — worklist equality with fuel/deadline/work bail, uncaught-error bail, allow_debug_output
- script: port Octoscript parser/tokenizer/control-flow VM patches (ws2)
- script: port Octoscript heap/string/array/object hardening onto upstream's allocation budget
- script: port orphaned Octoscript VM hardening (execution caps, clear_type_methods, parser diagnostics)

- script: the Octoscript hardening keeps a Makepad host's semantics and its speed
- fix(text): enable ttf-parser gvar-alloc for many-tuple variable fonts
- feat(text): CoreText outline fallback for hvgl-only fonts (macOS)
- draw text: the CoreText outline fallback is only ever resolved for a face whose outlines live solely in hvgl, and font-family diagnostics are the `f
- mail: the phone layout lines up
- clock: the phone layout fits both orientations
- calendar, reminders, calculator, sheets: the phone layouts fit their space

- vulkan (android): a window released on suspend is not released again
- android: hosted children hand frames over with GPU fences and draw only when they have work
- wm on Android: gestures and surfaces settle like the phone's
- widgets: touch lists scroll with Android's physics
- wm on Android: the shell follows the Pixel launcher's motion
- wm on Android: Recents shows the apps over a receding home, and the home screen switches looks
- wm on Android: the look switcher stays put, the iOS dock shows its icons, background apps follow a look change
- task, cargo-makepad, widgets, audio: the task manager chooses its columns, graphs every process' network and disk traffic and installs itself as a D
- agents: a user touching an app under test no longer stops the agent
- flowgraph: ordered ports take many wires, sockets can override their icon, and the canvas embeds as a viewport

- git: timings read a portable clock
- ai: the hub's rig-fixture tests find the asset library without the asset client
- ai llm: a Metal main buffer is filled in 32 MB chunks
- diskmap: a scan lists each macOS directory in one getattrlistbulk call and classifies files without allocating or locking

- mail: the local view takes a theme-derived palette and line icons, search pages share records
- director: agent lanes form a tree and Grok joins the usage bar
- widgets, draw: skeuomorphic surfaces light each other through an optional relief buffer
- widgets, platform: a texture can light the relief buffer, menus take colour chips, and a style reload recompiles changed shader functions
- widgets: relief surfaces can travel like mechanical keys, and dark surfaces take less neighbour light
- platform, widgets, audio_route, ai: window crossfades and whole-frame presents, caption controls that click, themed menus, a stereo-pair audio tap,

- platform: Android builds without Vulkan compile again, and the font-selection test counts the hosted entry point
- platform: the pipeline-skip repaint mark exists only on Apple, where Metal reads it
- builder: the terminal scripts delete nothing and read top to bottom, and every Builder delete stays inside its own folder
- files: the Files app deletes nothing and never overwrites
- director: coding agents ask before acting unless you choose otherwise
- sheets, score, git, home: saves cannot cut a file short or overwrite another one, and checkouts cannot write outside the repository

tools/makepad_builder replaces tools/makepad_loader: one build target
shared across app builds, workspace package selection, checkout
progress on the public Git API, detached built apps with a completion
state, waits for Windows security scans, manual retry after compiler
locks, dedicated-folder installer checks, catalog and runtime fixes.
tools/web_server and its scripts leave for github.com/makepad/webserver.
Arch USB clone/restore scripts, the qwen38 box scripts and the G-belt
serial test join tools/. docs/agents records the agent workflow and the
remote-control handoff protocol; AGENTS.md forbids vendored sources and
bulk imports. Cargo.toml lists apps/wm-dyn, libs/code_language,
libs/search, libs/tar, libs/loader_bundle and tools/makepad_builder,
and drops the two removed crates.
Squashed from work:
- Share Builder target across Makepad app builds
- Fix Builder workspace package selection
- Align Builder checkout progress with public Git API
- Detach built apps and show completion state
- Wait for Windows security scans
- Offer manual retry after Windows compiler locks
- docs: the agent workflow of record and the remote-control handoff protocol
- builder: dedicated-folder installer checks, catalog and runtime fixes; Windows job objects hold c_void handles
- tools: Arch USB clone/restore scripts, the qwen38 box scripts, and the G-belt serial test
- tools: the web server moves to makepad/webserver
- AGENTS.md: no vendored sources or bulk imports in the tree
