- Each guide opens with a short "Before you start" box: difficulty,
what you need, a link to the step-by-step setup and a one-line
explanation of Electron or native programs.
- The browser guide gives commands to open Chrome on Mac and Windows
Command Prompt, not only Linux, and its prompt includes the
debugging address.
- Multi-line terminal commands note that Windows Command Prompt needs
them on one line without the backslashes.
- The guide hub lists guides from easiest to hardest, with what each
one needs.

People who have only used AI chat in a web browser found the existing
setup page hard to follow. The new guides/setup page walks through each
step with plain wording and pictures of what the terminal shows:
- getting a desktop AI app (Claude Desktop, Codex or an existing agent)
- installing Node.js and checking it with node -v
- opening the terminal on Mac, Windows (Command Prompt) and Linux
- running setup, ticking an app, reviewing the plan and restarting
- asking a first question about the supplied Notes example
- fixes for the common first-run errors
The setup screens were recorded from rea-agents 6.3.0 in a throwaway
home folder and are kept as selectable HTML. The guide hub now starts
with this page, and Get started links to it.

* feat(ghidra): configurable import language and analysis seeds
REA_GHIDRA_LANGUAGE_ID and REA_GHIDRA_COMPILER_SPEC_ID set the import
language when the header cannot identify the compiler (for example,
Borland C++ PE images).
REA_GHIDRA_SEED_FILE seeds functions, code and labels before
auto-analysis, for code reached only through computed jumps or data.
Both are validated before launch, recorded in the analysis profile and
verified in the bridge handshake.
* fix(ghidra): parse language XML and preserve seed ordering
* test(ghidra): use explicit platform paths for seed launch checks
* fix(javascript): retain cleanup failure reason in error causes

Add optional finalization_ms to keep observing a captured root after SIGTERM, record the actual finalizer exit and each signal attempt, and escalate once when needed. Bind the initial root identity to captured ownership and preserve observations through cleanup uncertainty.
Fixes#1253.

Resolve values returned by simple assignment chains at the export boundary. Suppress property links proven to target a detached receiver; retain unresolved links when reassignment may preserve receiver identity. Identify root assignments from their AST target rather than the displayed export name.
Validation: 25 semantic tests, seven targeted compiled CLI/MCP scenarios with Node runtime controls, build, and check:fast passed. Existing full acceptance suite passed before receiver refinements; the final changes were checked with targeted scenarios rather than repeating its 130-second run.
Resolve this, private fields and super reads through receiver-aware references. Separate instance fields from prototype descriptors, preserve alternative inheritance branches and allow finite repeated getter paths.
Add domain precision regressions and compiled CLI/MCP coverage for the four reported getter shapes.
Fixes#1665
Retain source URLs, empty connections, and ordered frame streams. Compare same-URL streams without relying on transient request IDs, and compare selected shapes and byte counts only through common known coverage. Malformed binary frames retain known metadata with an unknown byte count.
BREAKING CHANGE: inspect_web_page network.websocket_events is replaced by network.websocket_connections, whose records contain request_id, url, and events. Frame payload_bytes is nullable when decoding cannot establish its size. No legacy alias is retained.
Validation: 78 domain/browser/MCP focused tests, check:fast, docs:check, and real Chrome 154 CDP capture passed. Real capture retained six connections and twelve frames with source URLs and selected shapes. Full browser verifier was interrupted during an unrelated slow scenario stage; its assertions were exercised by the bounded capture proof.
Build ordered per-procedure indices from admitted nodes instead of scanning every node twice for each call binding. Preserve edge order, capacity limits, omitted-parameter unknowns, and surviving return bindings.
Validation: five focused service tests and check:fast passed. Four paired Flameox blocks at 4096 call sites passed all eight full-result digest oracles. Median paired reduction was 183.02 ms (71.4%) on this synthetic fan-out workload; real-provider performance is unverified.
Flameox evidence: 5a4c98ed7d224587c10a0f4596c8680d3a0330eb112a629014448ff1ea4634e7.
Traverse sorted siblings instead of comparing complete shared path prefixes. Return the typed producer result directly while preserving independent path segments and schema validation at unknown-input boundaries.
Validation: 12 domain/CDP boundary tests, build, and check:fast passed. Six paired Flameox blocks retained identical full-output digests across deep, mixed, Unicode, and wide controls. Depth-512 inference median fell from 10.78 ms to 1.51 ms (120 samples per variant); whole harness median fell from 518.6 ms to 327.5 ms.
Flameox evidence: f4a93424f34e5bfea254ada4ef278dc9bbb6c21047c977e20da130e11a8899e9. Timings describe this bounded workload only.
Serialize preparation and close for each reader so concurrent callers share one owned snapshot. Preserve per-call cancellation and expected digest checks, cleanup retry ownership, and reuse after close.
Validation: 34 ASAR boundary tests, one fork-isolated snapshot race regression, test discovery, and check:fast passed.
Preserve observed terminal-call sites and callee flags across function views, raw bridge responses, Evidence, and snapshot replay. Version analysis profiles so older unqualified results cannot be reused.
Qualify Ghidra function extents without changing external no-return flags or claiming recovery of excluded code.
Validation: 76 focused tests, check:fast, docs:check, formatting, and the full Ghidra 12.1.4 host lane pass. Real CLI and all five stdio MCP function views retain the terminal-call evidence; returning puts calls remain unflagged. The reported stripped Rust ELF and Windows host remain unverified.
Fixes#1658
Carry defined-data scope through list and search Evidence and bind it into the analysis profile so older snapshots cannot replay unqualified results. Clarify the tool contract and document known-address byte/reference inspection.
Validation: 36 focused tests, check:fast, docs:check, and real Ghidra 12.1.4 CLI/stdio MCP on macOS arm64. The Rust Mach-O fixture contains the phrase and Ghidra defines it; the reported Linux ELF omission was not reproduced.
Fixes#1659
Extend the existing real Electron public-tool fixture with assignment aliases for BrowserWindow, contextBridge, ipcMain, and ipcRenderer. Assert exact static recovery counts and observe the handler invocation after a real click.
Verified the public CLI/stdio MCP fixture, IPC invocation, cancellation, and owned-process cleanup against checksum-verified Electron 43.3.0 on macOS ARM64. Build and check:fast pass. The separate readiness reload/crash scenario still fails on a destroyed execution context; this commit does not claim the full verify:electron lane passes.
Reuse semantic module provenance for aliases and keep property path segments intact through Electron matching. Reject shadowed names and nested or dotted lookalikes. Reassigned and conditionally initialized module origins remain ambiguous, with their source origins retained.
Add a compiled CLI/stdio MCP regression for windows, preloads, context bridges, IPC operations, pairing, and source ranges. Validate 771 JavaScript domain tests, seven composition tests, the public acceptance workflow, build, and check:fast.
Fixes#1656
Replacing or deleting a class getter property does not mutate the object it would return. Apply the existing object-accessor write boundary to instance and static getters.
Validation: source mutation regressions and compiled CLI/stdio MCP acceptance preserve literal 1 for all four assignment/deletion cases; check:fast passes.
Track active bindings with per-evaluation push/pop instead of copying ancestor sets on every alias. Restore membership in finally so cycles and sibling branches keep their existing semantics.
Validation: 173 domain tests, compiled CLI/stdio MCP returned-reference acceptance, and check:fast pass. A randomized six-block Flameox experiment retained identical complete semantic output and reduced the bounded 112-alias analyzer median from 36.33 ms to 17.00 ms.
Follow object, instance, and static getter results when invalidating shared values. Respect descriptor replacement, known spread overrides, inheritance alternatives, and unresolved computed keys. Preserve conservative uncertainty for fresh getter results and verify shared mutations through CLI and MCP.
Fixes#1494
Keep queued observation failures available through frames while allowing the resource owner to release xterm and its owned addons. Catch write-callback failures so cleanup cannot hang, and retain actual disposal failures for retry.
Check function and label ownership in the existing namespace before renaming. Keep same-address renames idempotent and reject duplicate batch members inside their individual transactions. Extend real-provider namespace checks for single and batch collisions without conflating function and label fixture names.
Validation: real Ghidra 12.1.4 host-native verification passed on macOS ARM64 with JDK 21.0.12.1, including public CLI/stdIO MCP, qualified-name round trips, rollback, source-byte immutability, and complete cleanup. Windows mutation authority remains unchanged.
Fixes#1649
Assigning a new value to the exports alias does not replace module.exports. Stop inventing a default export link and definite return-shape changes for that assignment.
Validation: 22 semantic structure source tests and 49 compiled CLI/MCP acceptance tests passed. The new regression checks Node require returns an empty export object for both versions and both adapters report missing defaults without definite changes.
Use password-store=basic for owned raw Chrome verification processes and document the same option for dedicated caller-owned Linux investigation profiles. Locked keyrings can stall navigation and leave placeholder frame URLs; keep the existing committed-URL authorization boundary.
Validation: real Chrome 154 CLI and stdio MCP browser verifier passed on macOS ARM64, plus docs freshness and check:fast. The locked Linux desktop keyring environment was not reproduced locally.
Apply the 64 MiB protocol message limit when connect callers omit an override. Reject invalid explicit limits, including values that wrap through ws signed 32-bit coercion and disable enforcement. Preserve the typed payload_limit reason through disconnect and later commands.
Validation: 16 transport boundary tests passed, including UTF-8 exact/+1 limits and an oversized frame header without allocating its body. Real Chrome 154 CLI/MCP browser verification and check:fast passed. This caps message bytes, not decoded JSON heap size.
Share the ECMA-426 JSON parse view across fetched maps and local point tracing while retaining exact response text, bytes, and digest. Handle BOM and HTTP newline variants without treating unterminated prefixes as valid JSON.
Validation: 89 source-map tests passed; source/runtime build and check:fast passed. Real Chrome 154 CLI and stdio MCP browser verification passed on macOS ARM64.
Document the npm 6.3.0 boundary beside Qwen registration and OpenCode configuration override workflows. Registry metadata still identifies 6.3.0 as latest; source support requires publication and actual registry-package verification before issue closure.
Refs #1650.
Validate Windows destination representability at the writer before registering or creating any entry. Preserve literal logical names in inventory and POSIX output. Refuse NTFS alternate stream syntax with typed path evidence and roll back prior extracted files.
Return producer path diagnostics directly, removing the presentation layer English-prefix classifier. Verify stream leaf/parent syntax, input stream cleanup, extraction rollback, inventory fidelity, POSIX materialization, and error projection: 63 passed, one platform-specific skip. Native Windows execution remains unverified here.
Fixes#1574. Adapted from and supersedes #1575.
Reuse the bounded binary preflight to observe dictionary keys before the pinned decoder drops them. Keyed archive results disclose the omission and Interface Builder marks archive decoding partial. XML keeps its existing exact counts; binary reporting deliberately leaves the count unknown because overwritten subtrees and decoder projection can change visibility.
Remove the superseded size-only preflight contract. Cover ASCII, UTF-16 and extended lengths, shared references, nested and shadowed dictionaries, and the value-only negative control. Synthetic plist and filesystem fixtures; no plutil or ibtool verification.
Fixes#1594. Supersedes #1593.
Use the shared resolver for virtual containment, overlap checks, and file-backed extent. Raw alignment padding no longer supplies method bytes or shadows a later virtual section. Preserve malformed body coverage and suppress CIL hashes outside the admitted range.
Verify zero, exact-end, truncated-body, padding, and true-overlap cases through compiled CLI and MCP consumers. Synthetic PE fixtures only; no Windows loader or real managed-provider verification.
Fixes#1596. Supersedes #1595.
Include the Linux user prefix in the planned command. Build the install
arguments once and shell-escape the printed arguments so paths with spaces
or metacharacters remain reusable. Cover dry-run admission, exact argument
round-trip and the unprefixed macOS command with native Bash 3.2.
