# KORA Studio v0.5 Goal Report

## Goal Status

KORA Studio v0.5 Interactive UI Readiness Closure is complete as a local preview/demo milestone.

v0.5 adds browser-local interactive state for approved deterministic sample requests and selected local harness run output. It does not add model execution, provider calls, model downloads, cloud sync, private directory scanning, runtime model listing, arbitrary prompt execution, report file writing, or report export.

## Final Repo State

Validation baseline:

- branch: `main`
- public truth: `origin/main`
- validation baseline HEAD: `525bc543b0406cb6b7b1779c89016263239da57e`
- working tree at validation start: clean

## Task List

- Task 441: created the KORA Studio v0.5 local interactive UI plan.
- Task 442: added the approved request selector scaffold.
- Task 443: connected the Run Local Harness button to approved request IDs and added selected-run summary state.
- Task 444: rendered selected-run generated events from `GET /api/harness/events?run_id=<id>`.
- Task 445: rendered selected-run counters and Standard Mode vs KORA Boost comparison from the selected run response.
- Task 446: rendered selected-run report metadata from `report_metadata_summary`.
- Goal 447G: validated v0.5 readiness and added readiness and consolidated goal reports.

## Validation Summary

Validated on 2026-05-30:

```bash
git diff --check
```

Result: passed.

```bash
python3 -m pytest
```

Result: 231 passed.

```bash
python3 -m pytest tests -k "studio or sse or execution or harness"
```

Result: 93 passed, 138 deselected.

## Live Smoke Check Summary

The local preview was started with:

```bash
python3 -m kora studio --no-browser
```

The smoke check command passed:

```bash
python3 scripts/check_kora_studio_preview.py
```

Covered:

- `/health`
- `/status`
- `/api/harness/run`
- `/api/harness/run/<run_id>`
- `/api/harness/events?run_id=<id>`
- `/api/harness/sse?run_id=<id>`
- `/`
- visible approved request selector
- visible Run Local Harness button
- visible selected-run summary state
- visible selected-run event timeline
- visible selected-run counters/comparison
- visible selected-run report metadata

## Claim Boundaries

- KORA Studio v0.5 is a local preview/demo milestone, not a production release.
- Local harness runs are generated from approved deterministic sample requests only.
- Generated events are local deterministic harness events only.
- Browser selected-run state is local memory only.
- No arbitrary prompt execution is connected.
- No model execution is connected.
- No provider calls are connected.
- No model downloads are connected.
- No cloud sync is connected.
- No private model directory scanning is connected.
- No runtime model list commands are connected.
- No report file export is connected.
- No report file writing is connected.
- No external network behavior is connected.
- No production cost reduction claim is made.
- No energy outcome claim is made.
- No unsupported larger-model execution claim is made.
- KORA Studio is not an LM Studio replacement.

## Known Limitations

- Run records remain in-memory only.
- Selected-run UI state resets on page refresh.
- The interactive UI is still a minimal local preview, not a full frontend application.
- The selected-run UI does not consume SSE yet.
- Model-needed boundaries stop at `execution_not_connected`.
- Report metadata is preview-only with export disabled.
- Installed model detection remains scaffolded unless a future safe local method is implemented.
- Catalog examples remain candidates, not installed models.

## Next Recommended Goal

Recommended next goal:

KORA Studio v0.6 local frontend interaction hardening.

Suggested first task:

Plan v0.6 local interactive UI hardening around selected-run errors, retry behavior, optional generated-event SSE UI, and multi-run local preview state while keeping no arbitrary prompt execution, no model execution, no provider calls, no downloads, no cloud sync, and no report export.
