This week, 3DVR moved closer to being a complete open computing and business system. The Portal gained an
always-on Android Companion control plane, the first RUNE mission language, a shared 3DVR Computing contract,
durable Context HQ handoffs, real self-checkout tools, safer revenue automation, and clearer public positioning
as an open-source CRM and business operating system.
-
Always-on phone control:
Companion grew from a simple app into an Android control plane with an always-on local bridge,
notification-based message reading and replies, bounded accessibility actions, known-app launching, encrypted
local message history, and a staged self-update path. This work landed in
PR #1487.
-
RUNE v0.1:
the Agent can now load a small human-readable
.rune mission format while keeping JSON missions
compatible. RUNE remains inspect-first and does not add hidden shell execution, loops, or implicit external
writes. This landed in PR #1501.
-
3DVR Computing family:
a new incubator defines a shared capability runtime for Debian/Desktop, Android/Mobile, and a future
Chromium/Brave-derived browser. Actions resolve through explicit allow, ask, or deny policy decisions and
produce receipts. See PR #1503.
-
Context HQ:
agents gained owner-scoped handoffs, a lightweight message bus, a Morning Sweep, hourly safe task handoffs,
and an admin cockpit for continuity across sessions and devices. The operating loop was built and activated in
PR #1489 and
PR #1497 through
PR #1499.
-
Sell useful things directly:
Business Cards gained server-owned pricing, artwork validation, and Stripe Checkout,
including current Third Eye Print Co. tiers. The new $1 Open-Source Business Challenge
turns an inbound problem into a CRM lead, an attempted solution, and optional proof of value. See
PR #1438,
PR #1449, and
PR #1485.
-
Safer revenue operations:
a canonical transactional revenue ledger, acknowledgement-gated delivery states, replay-safe CRM and inbox
projection, bounded one-contact email canaries, and quiet-until-reply CRM behavior reduce duplicate or
over-eager outreach. This work spans
PR #1437,
PR #1444 through
PR #1451,
PR #1476, and
PR #1512.
-
Business state and backups:
successful payments can project customers into CRM with paid-customer state, while Postgres and Gun now have
a documented source-of-truth and backup architecture with validated dump/snapshot tooling. See
PR #1484 and
PR #1452.
-
More discoverable and easier to learn from:
Open-Source CRM now has a crawlable product page, public app routes were
added to the sitemap, and the AI Systems Lab preserves systems research as an
actionable field guide. See PR #1505 and
PR #1393.
Safety notes
Companion is broader than before, but it is still not arbitrary shell or root access. RUNE stays inspect-first,
consequential Agent execution remains behind approval policy, Context HQ does not automatically promote raw
model or tool output into trusted memory, and the revenue worker keeps outbound delivery bounded and gated.
Backup tooling still requires the corresponding host-side jobs and destinations to be enabled and verified.
What this release covers
v0.0.58 covers the weekly milestone for August 10-16, 2026, following v0.0.57 and carrying the public release
