Launch, restart, or troubleshoot the real AO Electron desktop app from this repository; run a checkout against isolated or real local AO data; combine PR branches for local UI review; and diagnose stale Electron processes, port conflicts, or preload bridge mismatches. Use whenever asked to run, open, show, or visually verify AO frontend changes in the actual desktop app rather than ao preview, dev:web, or mock data.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AO Desktop Dev Run the Electron application from the current checkout and verify it in the native window. Keep the dev daemon, renderer, Electron preload, and selected data mode explicit so the user never reviews a mock or stale build by accident. ## Choose the data mode Ask only when the request does not make the desired data source clear. - Use **isolated mode** by default for implementation and destructive testing. Electron uses port `3002`, `~/.ao/dev/running.json`, `~/.ao/dev/data`, and `~/.ao/dev/electron`. - Use **real-data mode** only when the user explicitly asks to see this machine's actual AO projects or sessions. Start the checkout's dev daemon on the isolated dev port/run file while pointing `AO_DATA_DIR` at the real AO data directory. This is a separate daemon process using real data; do not describe it as the installed app's daemon. - Never try to attach an unpackaged Electron app directly to a packaged daemon from another checkout. The supervisor intentionally rejects daemon identity mismatches. - Warn before actions in real-data mode that create, terminate, rename, or otherwise mutate sessions. Merely opening and inspecting the UI is expected. …

How to install
mdr add untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator/ao-desktop-dev@sha256:a5925b5025991288The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.c645160, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
