The doctrine that AIDE's desktop-control act() MUST route the policy inference through the in-house model (Cipher v1, 4B) — never a cloud model, never a BYOK provider. Why this is the differentiator (a small model fine-tuned on a verified desktop-control trajectory corpus is more reliable on that exact task than a giant cloud model with no domain adaptation), how to gate it in routes/desktop.ts and the agent's desktop_action tool, and how the operator-overrides-the-safety-rails exception works…
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
# Desktop Control — In-House Model Only Born 2026-08-28 from the operator's directive: "as of right now the only model we're going to allow to be used for desktop control is our in-house model because we have specifically fine tuned for this kind of workflow." This is the doctrine for that decision and the mechanics that enforce it. ## Why this is the differentiator The competitive claim is **not** "AIDE can drive a desktop" — every cloud agent in 2026 can do that. The claim is **"AIDE's house model drives the desktop, locally, with operator-owned safety rails."** Three reasons in priority order: 1. **Domain adaptation beats scale, on narrow tasks.** Cipher v1 is a 4B model that we have specifically fine-tuned on verified desktop-control trajectories (1,098 rows per AGENT_NOTES 2026-08-26, 90/90 generator battery). A giant cloud model with no desktop-specific training has a higher loss on the exact question "given this Windows snapshot and this grants manifest, emit the correct desktop_action DSL". A 4B model that's seen the task 1,000 times beats a 1T model that's seen it 0 times. 2. **Latency + all-local loop.** The desktop act() cycle is …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-inhouse-only-policy-hook@sha256:489cc1dd7724fe00The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260829.3450c8e, 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.
