NEXO runtime core

This repository contains the local runtime core that powers NEXO Desktop.

NEXO Desktop is the public product and the supported user-facing installer, update channel, onboarding surface, settings UI, and support path. The legacy nexo-brain package and binary names remain temporarily for install/update compatibility only; they are not a separate product line.

Current contract

• Version 7.38.7 is the current packaged-runtime line
• Public product: NEXO Desktop
• Runtime role: local NEXO core bundled with Desktop
• Active systems: local memory, Deep Sleep, Evolution support-ticket mode, Skills, Watchdog, followups, doctor diagnostics, and MCP tooling
• Evolution mode: enabled by default for Desktop-managed installs; it never opens GitHub branches, pushes, PRs, transcripts, local databases, or raw private evidence, and routes product-improvement requests through sanitized support tickets
• Distribution: Desktop installers and update manifests are published through the NEXO Desktop release channel

Use nexo-desktop.com for downloads, billing, support, and product information.

Client parity

Release changes that touch bootstrap, session handling, Deep Sleep, client sync, or shared runtime claims must also keep docs/client-parity-checklist.md current.

• Managed via bootstrap + Codex config mcp_servers.nexo
• Managed MCP-only shared-brain metadata
• Runtime doctor parity audit
