Beacon¶
Windows Developer Status & Action Center — See what needs your attention.
A developer status and action center that lives on the Windows desktop: it aggregates the state of your development environment — GitHub, CI and more — surfaces it proactively, and hands you one-click actions. Signal + Action, not a Dashboard.

Roadmap¶
- ✅ Mission brief + technical RFC + solution layout + MVP issue list
- ✅ M1 Windows shell (tray / capsule / hotkey / auto-start)
- ✅ M2 Core kernel (refresh scheduling / state aggregation / cache / event bus)
- ✅ M3 GitHub loop (PR and Actions providers, ETag and rate-limit aware)
- ✅ M4 Notifications and panel (action executors / Toast / notification center / tray coloring)
- 🔨 M5 L0 floating components + Quick Panel = MVP (code complete; remaining: the B-803 real-machine walkthrough and the B-804 clean-VM acceptance)
Build requirements¶
Windows + .NET 10 SDK + Windows App SDK (WinUI 3 does not build cross-platform).
