open-design-v0.3.0

🎉 **`39 PRs` · `25 contributors` · one day after 0.2.0** — Open Design 0.3.0 keeps the momentum going: a pet companion, richer design-system browsing, stronger packaged-agent detection, better export/deploy flows, Arabic RTL + French, and a pile of Windows / CLI / preview reliability fixes.

## 🔥 Highlights

- 🐾 **Pet companion for Codex hatch-pet workflows.** Open Design now includes an in-app companion surface wired to hatch-pet and bundled community pet assets. (#296) Thanks @pftom.
- 🎨 **Richer design-system browsing.** Brand systems now get card thumbnails plus side-by-side DESIGN.md previews, powered by the new per-tool renderer registry. (#289, #282) Thanks @pftom.
- 🤖 **More agent coverage.** Added Devin for Terminal and Mistral Vibe CLI, plus persisted code-agent startup state. (#301, #354, #255) Thanks @dabit3, @bezineb5, and @Ajay-Satish-01.
- 📤 **Better export and download workflows.** Native Save As for `.pptx`, Export as Markdown, and ZIP downloads that return the actual project tree. (#330, #345, #341) Thanks @laihenyi, @Sid-Qin, and @monshunter.
- 🚀 **Deployment hardening.** Added deploy preflight inspection and fixed bundling / rewriting for assets referenced from inline styles. (#320, #314) Thanks @Nagendhra-web.
- 🌍 **Arabic RTL + French.** Open Design now ships full Arabic language support with RTL layout, plus a French locale. (#316, #376) Thanks @Alihayder0 and @rpalfray87.

## ✅ System Requirements

- **macOS** — Apple Silicon (arm64) only, macOS 11 Big Sur or newer. Intel macs are not supported in 0.3.0.
- **Windows** — x64, Windows 10 / 11. Installer is **unsigned** (SmartScreen will warn on first launch; choose "More info → Run anyway").
- **Linux** — no packaged build; run from source or via headless mode.
- **From source** — Node.js 24.x and pnpm 10.33.2+.

## ⚠️ Known Issues

- 🪟 **Windows installer is unsigned** — SmartScreen / antivirus warnings on first launch. Code signing remains a follow-up.
- 🍎 **No macOS Intel (x64) build** — Apple Silicon only.
- 🐧 **No Linux desktop package** — run from source or deploy headlessly.

## 🔨 For Developers

<details>

- 🧪 `release-stable` metadata check recognizes `open-design-v0.3.0` as the next stable tag after `0.2.0`.
- 📦 All workspace package versions and internal workspace dependencies are bumped to `0.3.0`.
- ✅ Validation: `pnpm install`, `release-stable` metadata script, `pnpm typecheck`, and `pnpm test` passed locally. Local Node was `22.22.0`, so pnpm printed engine warnings for the repo's `~24` requirement.
