# KORA Studio v0.6 Goal Report

## Goal Status

KORA Studio v0.6 is complete as a local frontend interaction hardening milestone. The goal improved the local preview interaction layer around selected-run error handling, retry behavior, browser-local run history, generated-event stream display, and readiness validation while preserving all local-only and claim-safe boundaries.

v0.6 remains a local preview/demo readiness milestone, not a production release.

Status: clean
```

## Completed Tasks

- Task 449: Added the v0.6 frontend interaction hardening plan and linked it from Studio docs.
- Task 450: Added selected-run error state and Retry Last Approved Request behavior limited to approved request IDs.
- Task 451: Added browser-local run history in page memory only.
- Task 452: Added optional generated-event SSE UI with fallback to the generated events endpoint.
- Task 453: Hardened run history UI with active selected-run cards, compact counters, and clearer clear-history boundaries.
- Task 454: Ran v0.6 smoke/readiness validation and added the v0.6 readiness report.
- Task 455: Added this consolidated v0.6 goal report.

## Implemented v0.6 Surface

- Selected-run error state with claim-safe local failure messages.
- Retry Last Approved Request action using only the last approved request ID.
- Browser-local run history stored in page memory only.
- History selection for previously generated local harness runs.
- Active selected-run history card.
- Compact generated-counter summaries on history cards.
- Clear Local Run History action that resets browser-local UI state only.
- Generated Event Stream panel connected to generated harness SSE events.
- Fallback from generated-event SSE to `GET /api/harness/events?run_id=<id>`.
- Selected-run event timeline from generated local harness events.
- Selected-run counters from local harness output.
- Selected-run Standard Mode vs KORA Boost comparison from local harness output.
- Selected-run report metadata preview with file export and file writing disabled.
- Extended preview smoke checks for v0.6 markers.

## Validation Summary

```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 server was started with:

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

Then:

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

Result: passed.

Covered:

- `/health`
- `/status`
- `/api/harness/run`
- `/api/harness/run/<run_id>`
- `/api/harness/events`
- `/api/harness/sse`
- `/`

## Claim Boundaries

- KORA Studio v0.6 is local deterministic harness preview/demo readiness only.
- Approved sample requests only.
- Generated harness events only.
- Browser-local selected-run state only.
- Browser-local run history is page-memory only.
- Generated Event Stream is not model token streaming.
- Retry does not accept arbitrary prompt text.
- Clear Local Run History does not delete server records, report files, backend records, generated endpoints, or persisted data.
- Report metadata is preview-only.
- File export disabled.
- No file writing.
- No arbitrary prompt execution.
- No model execution.
- No provider calls.
- No model downloads.
- No cloud sync.
- No private model directory scanning.
- No runtime model list commands.
- No external network behavior.
- No production cost reduction claim.
- No energy outcome claim.
- No unsupported larger-model execution claim.
- Not an LM Studio replacement.

## Known Limitations

- The local preview remains a minimal vanilla JavaScript surface, not a production frontend.
- Server-side run records are in-memory and process-local.
- Browser-local run history disappears on refresh.
- SSE displays generated harness events only, not live model tokens.
- Retry is intentionally bounded to approved request IDs.
- Report export remains disabled.
- Model-needed boundaries return `execution_not_connected`.

## Next Recommended Goal

KORA Studio v0.7 local preview UX reliability and visual QA:

- manual visual QA checklist for the interactive local preview
- responsive layout sanity review
- accessibility labels for selected-run and history controls
- optional read-only refresh of selected run by `run_id`
- no arbitrary prompt execution
- no model execution
- no provider calls
- no downloads
