# AetherDesk AI PC Completion Audit

Generated: 2026-07-01

Purpose: prevent the AI PC goal from being marked complete without current runtime evidence.

Objective under audit:

```text
best ai pc possible for agentic operations and systems workflows
```

## Completion rule

Do not mark complete from:

- file presence alone
- marker/static-smoke checks alone
- docs alone
- plausible behavior
- prior chat summaries
- untested localhost assumptions

Completion requires a current served-preview validation report with evidence for every required gate, plus an explicit decision that no required work remains.

## Required evidence sources

- `C:\Users\issda\AetherDesk\docs\validation-reports\*.md`
- `C:\Users\issda\AetherDesk\docs\validation-reports\*.json`
- `C:\Users\issda\AetherDesk\aetherdesk\public\aetherdesk-ai-pc-acceptance-gates.json`
- `C:\Users\issda\AetherDesk\docs\AETHERDESK_AI_PC_ACCEPTANCE_CHECKLIST.md`
- static smoke output
- localhost preview screenshots or direct runtime observations
- keyboard operation notes
- backend sync notes or explicit backend-unavailable finding

## Pre-audit checks

- [ ] Static smoke was run and passed, or failures are documented and fixed.
- [ ] Localhost preview was launched from the current worktree.
- [ ] Validation report scaffold was generated from current acceptance gates.
- [ ] Validation report was filled from actual runtime behavior.
- [ ] Short-screen viewport was tested.
- [ ] Safe Mode was tested.
- [ ] Keyboard-only operation was tested.
- [ ] Agent request queue flow was tested.
- [ ] Proof/handoff flow was tested.
- [ ] Backend sync behavior was tested or explicitly documented as unavailable.

## Gate audit

For each gate, mark one:

- `proven complete`
- `incomplete`
- `contradicted`
- `missing evidence`
- `blocked by external dependency`

## Residual risks

List any risks that remain after validation:

| Risk | Severity | Accepted? | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |

## Required fixes before completion

| Fix | Gate | Owner | Evidence needed |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |  |

## Completion decision

- [ ] Not complete: evidence missing
- [ ] Not complete: required fixes remain
- [ ] Not complete: blocked by external dependency
- [ ] Complete: all gates proven and no required work remains

Decision rationale:

```text

```

## If complete

Only if all gates are proven complete and no required work remains:

- update the validation report with final evidence
- update the developer handoff
- update the post-validation backlog to remove completed P0/P1 items
- then and only then mark the active goal complete

## Current status

As of this file creation, the AI PC goal is not complete. The next required milestone remains:

```text
served-preview validation report before more runtime surfaces
```
