OpenPhone 0.0.3 Release Notes

Status: draft.

0.0.3 is a developer preview follow-up focused on hardening the GCP-backed release path and tightening assistant/runtime safety defaults after 0.0.2.

Supported Devices

• Google Pixel 9a (tegu) - development target.

Highlights

• GCP-backed release validation now adds version/device concurrency guards, duplicate-release rejection, always-run cleanup for failed or canceled labs, IAP-scoped SSH/SCP access, and separate emulator-smoke build goals.
• Scheduled and manual GCP cache refresh now supports named lab lanes and latest labeled snapshot discovery for warm-cache release and lab runs.
• The assistant now defaults to confirm mode, and malformed or unknown action payloads fail closed during capability inference.
• Release, OTA, trajectory, and audit validators now derive contract details from the tracked JSON schemas instead of duplicating those rules in shell.
• Developer secret-handling helpers no longer expose broker/admin/provider credentials through host argv, stdout, or Android intent extras.
• Repo checks now add shellcheck coverage when available and tighten temporary-file cleanup around release and validation scripts.
• Public release docs now fix rendered /docs links and record 0.0.2 as the current published latest release.

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 remains incomplete and Pixel 9a focused.
• Google apps are not distributed by OpenPhone.

Artifacts

• Source archive: GitHub generated.
• Development OTA ZIP: pending release staging.
• Development OTA SHA-256: pending release staging.
• Artifact manifest: pending release staging.
