Desktop behavior and acceptance

Implemented paths

• Native MyGo main/settings/add windows, with macOS titlebar controls supplied by the OS.
• Left-click menu bar flyout and temporary right-click menu. Linux falls back to a tray menu.
• Dock activation reopens the main window. Closing windows retains the session.
• .torrent and magnet associations in mygo.json; early OS-open events are queued until initialization completes.
• Second-instance arguments reuse import review. --config does not isolate application identity.
• Login registration uses MyGo SetOpenAtLogin; current boolean status is read on opening settings. Quiet login preserves the application session without showing a window.
• Notifications use task/completion-epoch IDs. Clicking routes to task selection. Successful display requests are not proof of delivery.
• Suspend saves and quiesces; resume reconciles unchanged durable intent.
• Quit confirmation and asynchronous saving also guard update restart.

Local verification

On the development macOS arm64 host, the app bundle builds with ad-hoc signing, starts with an isolated data directory, renders its native empty window and exits through the save coordinator. MyGo software-rendered screenshots cover default and minimum sizes, light/dark, settings, import and menu bar surfaces. Fixture tasks are confined to tests. Interactive native checks also verified that Add Download is an actual macOS sheet, invalid magnets remain unsubmitted, settings opens, unconfigured updates report unavailable, and Cmd+Q exits cleanly.

Release acceptance still required

Area	Required native check
Menu bar	Anchoring/dismissal/right click across multiple monitors and display changes
Lifecycle	Closing the last window during real transfer, Dock reopen, sleep/wake on hardware
Associations	Finder cold launch, browser magnet launch, duplicate launch events
Login	Signed installed bundle, enabled/denied/revoked registration, quiet login
Notifications	Authorized/denied permission, focus mode, click routing from background
Accessibility	VoiceOver, keyboard-only navigation, Reduce Motion/Transparency
Updates	Signed feed, wrong architecture/signature, interrupted replacement, restart after save failure
Storage	External volume replacement, full disk, controlled forced termination during checkpoint/Trash

MyGo v0.4.8 exposes boolean login observation and notification support, not every OS authorization state. Rivu reports observed values and original errors without inferring richer permission states. The detailed native status adapters proposed in the plan remain a release gap.

Release packages target macOS, Windows, and Linux. Validate installation, startup, file associations, tray behavior, transfers, and clean exit on each OS before publishing the draft; cross-compilation alone does not cover these checks. The recorded native checks below were performed on macOS. Known Windows limitation: safe payload ownership and free-space adapters are still unavailable, so new downloads can be refused. Track this limitation in release review; producing an installer does not verify transfer behavior.

Visual parity checks

The menu bar content uses the design palette even when AppKit reports vibrancy. Its height follows up to four preview rows (including paused tasks), with a compact 304 pt empty state. Pause and speed-limit actions sit above the footer; Add Download and Settings sit beside Open Main Window. Main task rows use 102 pt spacing and 23 pt top-aligned controls, with the drop hint below the list.

make snapshots includes the 1280 × 818 design comparison size, empty/populated menu bar panels, and a native-material rendering path in both appearances. TestTrayLayoutAndMaterial checks material opacity and footer bounds.

Language preferences default to the native system locale. General settings offers Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean, with changes applied after saving. TestLocalizedSurfaces covers every language at normal and minimum window sizes and includes tray action bounds; make snapshots writes i18n-<language>-<surface>.png captures. Catalog tests validate translation coverage and formatting placeholders, while configuration tests cover migration and persistence of language preferences.

On October 17, 2026, localization migrated to MyGo v0.5.5's ARB catalogs, generated typed accessors, and application locale callbacks. Unit tests, Go vet, race tests, the isolated swarm suite, MyGo vet, catalog checks, and localized snapshots passed. The macOS arm64 app built successfully with all five language resources derived from the catalogs. Seven isolated native startup/capture/exit checks covered all five main-window languages, Japanese download settings, and the Traditional Chinese tray panel (snapshots/native-mygo-i18n-*.png). A separate isolated native session verified saving English → Japanese → Follow System, including immediate menu, window-title, main-window, and save-result refresh. MYGO_LOCALE prevented these checks from persisting native language preferences.

The October 12, 2026 macOS arm64 i18n build passed native startup/capture/exit checks for all five explicit languages and the system default. These checks used an isolated data directory and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the MyGo instance socket, leaving the installed app running. Interactive save-and-switch verification remains a native acceptance check; the local UI automation service timed out during that check. Existing-view language changes are covered by the headless UI tests.

To capture the actual AppKit popover with an isolated session, quit other Rivu instances, then run (the capture process quits after writing the PNG):

env RIVU_CAPTURE="$PWD/snapshots/native-tray.png" RIVU_CAPTURE_SURFACE=tray \
  build/darwin-arm64/Rivu.app/Contents/MacOS/Rivu --data-dir /tmp/rivu-tray-review

This captures native content; the OS-owned arrow, outer corner shape, shadow and multi-monitor positioning still require interactive inspection.

On October 12, 2026, the macOS arm64 build was rechecked with native main-window inspection and a successful AppKit popover content capture. Unit tests, race tests, the isolated swarm integration suite, Go vet and MyGo vet passed. The installed /Applications/Rivu.app is separate from the rebuilt app under build/darwin-arm64/.

The subsequent control alignment pass replaced text disclosure characters with centered SVG icons, gave settings selectors a shared width, and added hover/press feedback to settings navigation. Sorting now opens a checked native menu instead of cycling on click. Native macOS arm64 interaction verified selecting English, saving, and immediately refreshing the settings window, main window, and menus; selecting Progress from the sort menu also updated the visible control. These checks used an isolated session without transfers. TestSortMenuSelection and TestSettingsLanguageMenu cover menu selection and keyboard opening.

On October 13, 2026, the dependency upgrade to MyGo v0.4.8, Torrent commit d913b30f520e, and DHT commit a9c967f9d68b passed unit tests, race tests, the isolated swarm integration suite, Go vet, MyGo vet, and UI snapshot tests. Windows and Linux cross-compilation and the ad-hoc signed macOS arm64 app build also passed. Native main-window and AppKit popover content captures used temporary data directories and isolated instance sockets; both processes exited cleanly. These smoke checks do not replace the release acceptance checks above.

October 13 refactor verification

The refactored build's main window, download settings, and automation settings were captured through actual AppKit windows using separate temporary data and instance-socket directories. Each process exited through the session save coordinator with exit code 0. Captures are snapshots/native-refactor-main.png, native-refactor-settings-downloads.png, and native-refactor-settings-automation.png. These isolated smoke checks do not claim the real-transfer/hardware acceptance rows above. Feature semantics, local-swarm checks and collection benchmarks are in the refactor report.

The semantic i18n key migration on October 13, 2026 passed unit tests, Go vet, race tests, isolated swarm integration tests, MyGo vet, and localized UI snapshots. All five catalogs retain their translations under 359 semantic keys; 21 unused entries were removed. The macOS arm64 app and DMG built successfully on retry after the first packaging attempt lost its temporary staging directory. Native captures covered the main window in all five languages, English download settings, and Simplified Chinese automation settings, using isolated data and instance sockets. All seven processes exited cleanly without missing-key logs. Captures are snapshots/native-semantic-<language>-<surface>.png; these smoke checks do not replace the interactive and hardware release checks above.

The October 13 sidebar and empty-state adjustment passed unit tests, Go vet, race tests, isolated swarm integration tests, MyGo vet, and localized snapshots. The macOS arm64 app and DMG built successfully. An isolated native session verified entering and leaving full screen: the brand moves into the top row when window controls hide, and the compact Settings footer stays at the bottom. The empty library shows one instruction and no details panel; the details toggle is disabled without a selection. TestDetailsRequireSelection covers opening details on request and removing the selected task at regular and narrow widths. The native Chinese window capture is snapshots/native-layout-main.png.
