NEXO runtime core

This repository contains the local runtime core that powers NEXO Desktop.

NEXO Desktop is the public product and the supported user-facing installer,

update channel, onboarding surface, settings UI, and support path. The legacy

`nexo-brain` package and binary names remain temporarily for install/update

compatibility only; they are not a separate product line.

Current contract

• Version `7.38.7` is the current packaged-runtime line
• Public product: NEXO Desktop
• Runtime role: local NEXO core bundled with Desktop
• Active systems: local memory, Deep Sleep, Evolution support-ticket mode,

Skills, Watchdog, followups, doctor diagnostics, and MCP tooling

• Evolution mode: enabled by default for Desktop-managed installs; it never

opens GitHub branches, pushes, PRs, transcripts, local databases, or raw

private evidence, and routes product-improvement requests through sanitized

support tickets

• Distribution: Desktop installers and update manifests are published through

the NEXO Desktop release channel

Use nexo-desktop.com for downloads, billing,

support, and product information.

Client parity

Release changes that touch bootstrap, session handling, Deep Sleep, client

sync, or shared runtime claims must also keep `docs/client-parity-checklist.md`

current.

• Managed via bootstrap + Codex config `mcp_servers.nexo`
• Managed MCP-only shared-brain metadata
• Runtime doctor parity audit
