HELM 0.8.7 — PUBLIC BETA — Windows x64

QUICK START
1. Unzip this folder.
2. Double-click Helm.exe.
3. If Windows SmartScreen blocks this unsigned beta, choose More info → Run anyway once.

Helm is embedded inside the EXE and unpacks its application files into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Helm\App\0.8.7 on first launch.

Requirements:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 (x64)
- Node.js 20 or newer
- OpenAI Codex CLI installed and signed in for Codex jobs
- Git strongly recommended

If the same Helm version is already running on port 4783, double-clicking Helm.exe reopens the existing UI.

Privacy: Beta diagnostics are off by default. If you explicitly opt in, Helm can send a sanitised run receipt to Pixelhatch. Automatic diagnostics do not include objectives, prompts, source code, repository contents, filenames, file paths, secrets or generated code. Optional written feedback is sent exactly as typed. Your selected coding provider may receive project context required to perform the task.

This public beta is not yet Authenticode signed. A signed production installer can be produced once Pixelhatch supplies its Windows code-signing certificate.

Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Helm\helm.log
