OpenPhone 0.0.2 Release Notes

Status: developer preview latest release.

0.0.2 is the first OpenPhone release intended to publish a device preview artifact through the GitHub Actions release pipeline. It is still for ROM developers and early collaborators, not daily-driver consumer use.

Supported Devices

Google Pixel 9a (tegu) - development target.

Highlights

Privileged OpenPhone Assistant app with chat, voice, task, island, and trajectory surfaces.
system_server OpenPhone agent manager service and action/policy/audit plumbing.
Settings and SystemUI OpenPhone surfaces for assistant launch, task grant, audit status, and active-task control.
Agent Runtime V1 background jobs and validated eval/evidence report contracts.
Model broker development proxy with token minting, allowlisting, privacy gates, bounded retry, and body-free audit events.
First assistant-owned OTA feed client for downloading and SHA-256 verifying preview OTA zips before manual installation.
GCP-backed emulator lab workflow for release-gated smoke testing.
Release workflow that stages OTA artifacts, generates SHA256SUMS and ARTIFACTS.md, validates artifacts, and publishes them to GitHub Releases.

Known Issues

Not a consumer-ready ROM.
Production signing is not used for this preview artifact.
On-device OTA installation is not implemented; downloaded OTA ZIPs still require manual installation.
Full autonomous multi-step agent loop is still in progress.
Framework-owned UI hierarchy extraction and OCR are not implemented.
Hardware validation is incomplete and remains Pixel 9a focused.
Google apps are not distributed by OpenPhone.
