HELM 0.8.0 — 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\0.8.0 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: Helm runs locally and does not currently send project files or Helm usage telemetry to Pixelhatch. 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
