## Desktop Push-to-Talk Release Readiness Addendum (Baseline Candidate 0.9.3)

The release readiness checklist for every desktop release artefact gains the following items per SysDes-148, SysRS-298, and DEC-023 / DEC-024 / DEC-025 / DEC-026 / DEC-027 / DEC-028.

| Item | Owner | Evidence required | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| RR-PTT-001 Windows Global PTT verified on a Windows reference host. | Windows Platform Owner | Live measurement of `PttCapabilityLevel` + `backend_id` returned at runtime. Backend identifier shall be `raw-input` (preferred) or `low-level-hook` (fallback) for Global. | Open |
| RR-PTT-002 macOS Global PTT verified with permission granted on a macOS reference host. | macOS Platform Owner | Live measurement + `permission_state = Granted` reported through the Event-Tap backend; UI capability badge screenshot. | Open |
| RR-PTT-003 macOS Focused PTT fallback verified with permission denied. | macOS Platform Owner | Live measurement of `PttCapabilityLevel::L0Focused` after revoking Input Monitoring; UI capability badge screenshot showing the fallback notice. | Open |
| RR-PTT-004 Linux Global PTT verified on GNOME-on-Wayland. | Linux Platform Owner | Live measurement returning `gnome-wayland-portal` backend identifier from a live GNOME-on-Wayland host; portal binding dialog screenshot. | **Implemented** (live `CreateSession` + `BindShortcuts` + signal subscription landed in code; awaiting live trace from a GNOME-on-Wayland reference host before the cell can be marked Done). |
| RR-PTT-005 Linux Focused fallback verified on a non-tested compositor (any of: X11, sway, KDE) | Linux Platform Owner | Live measurement of `L0Focused` on at least one non-tested compositor; release notes do not claim Global support on the untested environment. | Open |
| RR-PTT-006 Diagnostic export carries no key data. | Privacy Reviewer | Inspection of a user-initiated diagnostic export captured while PTT is bound to a real key; export shall contain `capability_level`, `backend_id`, `bound_input_class` and shall not contain a recognisable key code. | Open |
| RR-PTT-007 Missed-key-up watchdog timeout demonstrated. | Audio Owner | Test trace showing `transmit_active` clearing after the configured 30 s ceiling when the watchdog forces a release. | **Done (v1.0.0-rc.4)** — covered by `chanora_audio::ptt::tests::watchdog_clears_transmit_after_timeout` (and the negative `watchdog_does_not_clear_on_normal_release`). Live platform trace still required per RR-PTT-001..005. |
| RR-PTT-008 Capability badge matches runtime capability on every supported platform. | UX Owner | UI screenshot or platform-test trace. | Open |

A release decision shall be **No-Go** for any platform whose RR-PTT items are not all closed.

| Version | Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0.9.3 | 2026-05-15 | Added desktop PTT release-readiness items RR-PTT-001 through RR-PTT-008 covering Windows / macOS / Linux Global verification, permission-denied fallback verification, diagnostic-export privacy inspection, missed-key-up watchdog test, and capability-badge UI verification. |
| 0.9.4 | 2026-05-15 | RR-PTT-007 (missed-key-up watchdog) flipped to Done — the cross-platform `chanora_audio::ptt::MissedKeyUpWatchdog` ships in v1.0.0-rc.4 with two passing unit tests. Live per-platform traces (RR-PTT-001..005, RR-PTT-008) remain required for the live verification phase but are no longer blocked on engineering. |
| 0.9.5 | 2026-05-15 | RR-PTT-004 status flipped to Implemented (live trace from a GNOME-on-Wayland reference host pending). The Linux backend now runs the full portal `CreateSession` + `BindShortcuts` + `Activated` / `Deactivated` flow on a dedicated tokio task per backend instance. |
