Purpose

Build the promised real local operator interface on merged Desktop Bridge R0–R2, without silently granting desktop control to cloud agents or the existing Agentora web server.

Shipped

• Standalone native Tkinter GUI for R2 proposal inbox, with status filters, detailed intent preview, review policy feedback, confirmation dialogs, Reject, Mark reviewed, and Manual handoff.
• Versioned exact-app review manifest (examples/desktop-bridge/operator-policy.example.json) with explicit observe/click Booleans, unknown app deny-by-default, strict schema, symlink and size restrictions.
• Controller re-reads proposal records through R2 digest verification and checks current digest before a decision. R2 still handles expiration and transaction-guarded one-time review.
• Testable headless controller plus Python security/behavior tests. Tk imported only when launching actual GUI.
• Documentation with Windows PowerShell preview and clear limitations.

Critical boundary

Review is metadata-only. No R1 broker import, no agent-desktop execution, no API route, no network listener, no clipboard reads, and no autonomous action permission. Actual computer use still requires a separate human-controlled R1 session and a fresh, independently approved action.

Tkinter's confirmation dialog and the JSON review manifest are workflow controls, not OS-level identity or privilege boundaries. Windows ACL enforcement, IPC hardening and real Windows usability testing are future work.

CI

PYTHONPATH=server pytest -q server/tests/test_desktop_operator_desk.py; existing backend (Python 3.12 and 3.13) + web checks.

Next rung

R4: OS-permissioned local IPC, task-level evidence verification, and supervised Windows field testing. Do not wire to the remotely callable /api/actions execution path.
