ROOKWELD open-sources FieldRook, ships v0.6.0-rc.1 Windows pre-release
Start here
ROOKWELD has open-sourced FieldRook, a native WPF + WebView2 Windows diagnostic workstation that structures an unfamiliar Windows problem into an investigation. The newest Windows desktop package is v0.6.0-rc.1, a pre-release rather than a stable or independently certified build; it adds a Field Kit dock, Evidence Lens and Network Lab on top of the SIGNALFORGE interface introduced in v0.5.0. A separate portable Collector gathers read-only evidence into a hash-verified ZIP for import, and AI acts only as an assistant to the technician. No model is bundled by default, and offline evidence workflows do not depend on paid cloud inference. Running it requires Windows 10/11 x64 and the WebView2 Runtime. The binaries are unsigned, so users are told to verify the published checksums before running.
