### 2026-10-06 replacement Windows candidate (beta12)
### 2026-10-07 replacement Windows candidate (beta13)

The current replacement candidate is `af3d006146d8d9aad52b5621499d287d862ab3de`, the merge commit for
[#647](https://github.com/scgopi/GraphCode/pull/647), with parents
`86e5dd058d1568f8270e8d5753d5803deb3f7aa1` and
`05d91dd2c83ac64d757753fbccce32b2c7f2979f`. It replaces
`0.1.78-windows.beta12`, which is failed/superseded and immutable.

#647 fixes the beta12 Dev Box Stop finding. Stop worked in the daemon, but the
Windows shell decoded the daemon's synthesized `LoopState` object as `idle`, so
a stopped loop kept showing its Stop control. The shell now decodes every
supported state from both the object form and the legacy string form. It also
rejects malformed populated states without replacing the graph. #647 merged with
exact-head CI green; it changes only the Windows Zig shell.

Full local Windows shell validation passed at the candidate source with
`VALIDATE_EXIT=0`: **55/55** sections, App **773/773**, scrubbed startup
**5/5**, the real-daemon round trip, and the live UIA gate.

The local annotated tag `0.1.78-windows.beta13` has tag object
`5073dc1755923c2f7133f3894f82e4886c334917` and peels exactly to the source. It
is local, unpushed and unpublished.

The unsigned ZIP is **48,254,170 bytes**, SHA-256
`29691fdda6d83b6b97e3d05960f0431d622ae789f0d4ff8ddd36b31ae210944f`, with **50
files** and payload-manifest SHA-256
`cd361cb3a82ce884b96ab8d23838dbad518d2f043238ab29dcae28c323d89eee`.
Repository and extracted setup verification each passed once. The binary reports
`0.1.78-windows.beta13` and `deferred`.

Executable SHA-256 values:

| Executable | SHA-256 |
|---|---|
| shell | `efea9161808aaf092d70920584559bf9fc21bad0e956225350043fe67aaca108` |
| daemon | `30761427b73f9876819c42a712c409b57799c097fe2f814249c71fe1ca5fe877` |
| CLI | `5187457d32a8fe892c3d47155e605010156d4d2b3f9b62118dc9f61450972896` |
| zmx | `93b2525dacf4e471b92047c24ef1edaba4f1b2d4b364f0eb4c98c9b211fc6a82` |

The daemon and CLI are byte-identical to beta12. The packaged binaries passed
scrubbed startup **5/5**.

The custody ZIP SHA-256 is
`b51128dc95933a6e21b4312436c6c8614162f926d85dc7bcbb93c7710aa15735`. Create,
Verify and the file-only offline restore passed, with **43/43/43** LFS files,
exact detached HEAD/tag, zero remotes and a clean status.

The handoff `GraphCode-DevBox-Handoff-0.1.78-windows.beta13` has a
`hashes.sha256` SHA-256 of
`5cd562a1a907f8897614d32242889fc4e6da856eb708c7c644e2f713e5f0bc57`; all **8/8**
entries verified. Its plan is unchanged. Its prompt requires the shell itself to
show `stopped` after Stop.
