+Web 模式沿用现有服务。Tauri Workspace Service 调用原生命令；Host 自动启动受认证的 Core，使用随机端口和管道交换会话；Core 不可用时返回稳定错误码。SSE 使用 `core_stream`/`core_stream_cancel`，凭据命令提供状态、解锁、手动锁定、改密及原生导入；细节与未完成项见[生产化实施记录](../development/OpenNexus生产化实施进度-2026-09-08.md)。桌面窗口关闭系统装饰，统一由应用标题栏提供拖动、最小化、最大化/还原及关闭；窗口命令只授予本地 `main` WebView。关闭请求先尝试保存，冲突或保存失败时保持窗口。标题栏下的完整应用菜单复用 `editorCommandService`，主题菜单直接调用统一主题 Store；功能页使用 `feature-page`、`feature-header`、`panel` 等主题扩展点，确保自定义主题同时作用于编辑器与应用页面。原生菜单事件和可见“段落”菜单复用 `editor.import-note-properties`；仅在源码模式、已打开笔记且无冲突时启用，转换作为单次编辑器历史事务执行。
 
-`bundle.active=false`，无自动更新、无签名安装包。开发命令为前端 `pnpm dev` 与 `cargo run --features desktop`；生产 EXE 必须在 `frontend` 目录执行 `pnpm desktop:build`，由 Tauri CLI 先构建并嵌入前端资源。不要用普通 `cargo build --release` 代替该命令，否则 Rust Host 会更新但 WebView 仍可能携带旧资源。需要对应平台 C++ 工具链和 WebView；本次 Windows 已使用系统 `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` 工具链构建，仍不替代 MSVC 或其他平台验证。

+# OpenNexus 生产化实施进度
+
+工作树：`G:\OSProject\NotesAgent-phase3`，分支：`feat/phase3-completion`。用户已授权实施，正式名称为 OpenNexus。保留旧应用 identifier、内部包名和数据目录约定，避免更名导致旧数据不可见。个人 Vault 的已有改动不属于本次交付。
+
+**状态：实施中，未 done，未通过生产发布门禁。** 本文记录工程进度，不将单元测试或开发机运行替代[生产化计划](../architecture/第三阶段生产化工程规划与验收目标.md)中 A–E 的完整验收。
+
+## 已实现的链路
+
+- Rust 管理 Core 进程组；使用 stdin 引导、随机 loopback 端口、HMAC 握手、独立代际与会话令牌。每个请求先认证，拒绝浏览器 Origin、重复鉴权头及旧代际。Host 关闭时关闭管道并清理进程组，重启具有退避和次数上限。
+- 常规 JSON/二进制及 SSE 请求经原生命令进入 Core。SSE 支持游标、跨 UTF-8 分片及取消；每次流累计不超过 64 MiB，最多 16 个并发流。二进制上传暂为 64 MiB，尚未满足原媒体页面 128 MiB 的完整能力。
+- Core 可由 PyInstaller 构建为带运行时的 onedir。构建脚本生成 SHA-256 清单；release Host 编译时嵌入清单，启动前验证文件集合与摘要，拒绝链接、额外文件和篡改。新增 NSIS 资源配置，但尚未生成或验证签名安装包。
+- Stronghold 采用 Argon2id 口令派生和单文件快照；解锁期间 Store 中仍保存 AEAD 密文。提供状态、解锁、手动锁定、改密和原生选择旧库导入命令，不提供 WebView 通用明文读取命令。
+- Fernet 迁移先验证所有条目与冲突，备份密文和封装主密钥，持久化新库后重新打开逐条比较，最后切换所有权标记。旧文件保留，旧 Python 凭据 API 检测标记后拒绝读写。Core 凭据解析经 Host 管道，不在桌面 Core 使用环境变量凭据回退。
+- 同步服务按已确认 offset 修复磁盘超前，磁盘不足时拒绝续传；对象上传与校验使用流；下载先验证完整摘要再响应。完成回执支持重复确认且不重复计费。过期上传每分钟清理，CLI 提供独立清理入口；启动入口支持共享 staging 的两个 worker。ready 检查数据库、staging 和对象存储，429 带 Retry-After。
+
+## 已执行的检查
+
+- 后端全量复跑 894 项测试通过，测试数据使用隔离目录。
+- 前端现有 91 个文件、495 项测试通过；新增流式通道测试后，针对性 4 个文件、8 项测试通过；前端类型检查和生产构建通过。构建仍有部分既有大分块警告。
+- Rust 15 项库测试、Core 清单完整性测试通过；两个真实 Python Core 集成测试通过，其中一个完整执行 HTTP 凭据写入、管道分发和 Stronghold 解析，确认响应与 Core 目录不泄露秘密。
+- Rust desktop 全目标 Clippy `-D warnings` 通过；工具链为 Windows GNU 1.98.1，不能作为 MSVC 发布证据。
+- 同步服务 23 项隔离 SQLite 测试通过，包含 100 次重复 complete。不是 PostgreSQL/MinIO 双 worker 压测。
+
+## 尚未完成的工程和验收
+
+| 范围 | 尚需完成 |
+| --- | --- |
+| Sidecar | AI 笔记读写接入当前 Rust Vault；完整路由 DTO 与取消提交确认；恢复诊断、更新事务；128 MiB 媒体传输；签名包、干净 VM 和 20 次冷启动 |
+| 凭据 | OS 锁屏联动；备份恢复与用户确认清除旧库；迁移所有边界故障注入；按真实扩展身份绑定域许可 |
+| OS 沙箱 | 平台隔离实现、Host broker、资源预算与恶意二进制验证；当前未启用无沙箱第三方进程 |
+| Rust 扩展管理 | 签名验证、ZIP 安全边界、持久安装/升级/回滚事务、旧包迁移、撤回与运行时生命周期 |
+| 同步客户端 | Rust push/pull、持久 cursor/inbox、附件续传、绑定隔离、冲突保留与解决 UI、默认/可选数据分类 |
+| 同步生产服务 | 真 PostgreSQL/MinIO 两 worker 竞争与负载验证；部署、最小权限、备份恢复、指标与运行手册 |
+| 发布 | 统一逐 ID 验收 runner；MSVC 签名安装更新包、SBOM/依赖扫描；两台独立设备 E-01–05 |
+
+Core 的独立数据目录目前不等于已授权 Vault。Python 旧笔记写入口在 desktop 模式明确拒绝，不能据此宣称 AI 笔记工作流完成。Host `sync/extensions` 能力仍为 false。缺少实机与签名环境不构成其余普通工程尚未完成的理由。
