+# OATS v0.23.2 — Desktop Workspace redesign
+
+This release refreshes OATS Desktop around souls, instances and reported
+capabilities, while keeping lifecycle operations behind the installed OATS CLI.
+It builds on the released 0.23.1 kernel and knowledge contracts; it does not
+implement the proposed Portable Souls architecture.
+
+## Workspace and visual polish
+
+- A cleaner sidebar, aligned toolbar and soul cards, with a side inspector for
+  explicit Launch, Files and Schedule actions.
+- Workspace sections for **Souls**, **Capabilities** and **Sources**. Capability
+  health, installation, trust and activation are reported facts; Sources shows
+  provenance, not a new remote discovery or repository-admission feature.
+- **White** is the default theme, alongside explicit **Solarized** and **Dark**
+  choices. Existing valid theme preferences are retained.
+- Orange accents distinct from errors, quieter split controls, roomier instance
+  selection, darker navigation and colored marks for reported runtimes.
+- Stable muted soul marks. Optional local `soul.yaml` display metadata accepts
+  `color: sand`, `sage`, `slate`, `mauve`, `clay` or `olive`. Unknown values use a
+  deterministic identity-based fallback. Current remote CLI rosters do not report
+  this metadata; colors are decorative, never identity or status authority.
+
+## Working with instances and files
+
+- Workspace switches retain session-local tabs, selected panels and split sizes.
+- Closing a tab preserves its empty panel. Selecting that panel and reopening an
+  instance uses the selected destination; reusing an open terminal does not create
+  another attachment. Close split remains an explicit layout action.
+- **File: open read-only…** / **Mod+O** opens a native file chooser for sanitized
+  Markdown, highlighted code or plain text, alongside ordinary workspace tabs.
+  Files are read-only with a 2 MiB limit; no absolute-path guessing, sibling-file
+  access, editing or save workflow is introduced.
+- Soul Spawn no longer presents launch-configuration controls; the CLI's inherited
+  defaults remain authoritative. Quick Open inspects; Launch is always explicit.
+- Improved picker/shortcut focus handoffs and stale-selection protection across
+  workspace changes, roster refreshes and delayed operations.
+
+## Compatibility and boundaries
+
+Desktop supports the reviewed OATS 0.22.x and 0.23.x CLI contracts. Without a
+compatible installation it remains observation-only, with persistent recovery
+controls across Workspace sections. The root npm package still contains no
+Electron dependencies; Desktop remains a private, separately packaged app.
+
+New Knowledge/Tasks views, portable-soul membership/discovery and an agent-facing
+file-open CLI command are not part of this release. Workspace layout memory is
+session-local, not restart persistence. macOS assets retain the existing ad-hoc
+signing model; this release does not introduce Developer ID notarization.
