Record the independent reviewer pass that closes the first-run UX/docs milestone and archive the raw readiness report under user-readiness. Clarify the README quickstart by naming the default Cmd+m/Super+m hotkey, and align the roadmap plus release checklist with the independent-review closeout wording while keeping milestones 2 and 3 open pending manual validation. Validation: PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m aman --help; PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest tests.test_aman_cli tests.test_config_ui; user-confirmed milestone 4 validation.

# Verdict
|
|
|
|
For milestone 4's defined bar, the first-run surface now reads as complete.
|
|
A new X11 user can tell what Aman is, how to install it, what success looks
|
|
like, how to validate the install, and where to go when the first run fails.
|
|
This review is documentation-and-artifact based plus CLI help inspection; I
|
|
did not launch the GTK daemon in a live X11 session.
|
|
|
|
# What A New User Would Experience
|
|
|
|
A new user now lands on a README that leads with the supported X11 path instead
|
|
of maintainer internals. The first-run flow is clear: install runtime
|
|
dependencies, verify the portable bundle, run `install.sh`, save the required
|
|
settings window, dictate a known phrase, and compare the result against an
|
|
explicit tray-state and injected-text expectation. The linked install,
|
|
recovery, config, and developer docs are separated cleanly enough that the
|
|
first user path stays intact. `python3 -m aman --help` also now exposes the
|
|
main command surface directly, which makes the support story match the docs.
|
|
|
|
# Top Blockers
|
|
|
|
No blocking first-run issues remained after the quickstart hotkey clarification.
|
|
For the milestone 4 scope, the public docs and visual proof are now coherent
|
|
enough to understand the product without guessing.
|
|
|
|
Residual non-blocking gaps:
|
|
|
|
- The repo still does not point users at a real release download location.
|
|
- Legal/project metadata is still incomplete for a public GA trust surface.
|
|
|
|
Those are real project gaps, but they belong to milestone 5 rather than the
|
|
first-run UX/docs milestone.
|
|
|
|
# Quick Wins
|
|
|
|
- Keep the README quickstart and `docs/media/` assets in sync whenever tray
|
|
labels, settings copy, or the default hotkey change.
|
|
- Preserve the split between end-user docs and maintainer docs; that is the
|
|
biggest quality improvement in this milestone.
|
|
- When milestone 5 tackles public release trust, add the real release download
|
|
surface without reintroducing maintainer detail near the top of the README.
|
|
|
|
# What Would Make It Distribution-Ready
|
|
|
|
Milestone 4 does not make Aman GA by itself. Before broader X11 distribution,
|
|
the project still needs:
|
|
|
|
- a real release download/publication surface
|
|
- license, maintainer, and project metadata completion
|
|
- representative distro validation evidence
|
|
- the remaining runtime and portable-install manual validation rows required by
|
|
milestones 2 and 3
