Two things differ between machines and only one of them is width: a 4K panel
has more pixels, while a 125%/150% display has the same logical pixels holding
LESS, because every label and margin is taller. Breakpoints written as raw
pixels only hold on the machine they were tuned on.
* ui_scale() derives a factor from font height (1.0 at the 15px line the
layouts were measured against) and every narrow-guard threshold is
multiplied by it, so panes fold when the content is cramped rather than
when a number is crossed.
* The window takes a share of the available screen (80% × 85%) with the old
1180×760 as the floor, instead of opening at that size on any monitor.
* Moving the window to another screen re-pins the assistant and re-decides
the fold, since the new screen's work area and scaling may differ.
Found by tools/check_multi_screen.py, which walks 5 window sizes × 3 font
scales:
* At 150%, Schedule was clipped on 1280 and 1366 screens and the window's
own minimum grew to 1459px — wider than a 1280 laptop, so the app could
not fit at all. The cause was not the lanes: the one-line lane-count
summary in the header reported a sizeHint wide enough to set the minimum
width of the entire window. It now yields first (its text stays in the
tooltip); the window minimum drops 1459 → 752 and holds there at every
scale.
Also: these checkers exited 0xC0000409 from a Qt teardown crash AFTER printing
their verdict. check_probes_bite decides whether a probe caught its mutation by
reading exit codes, so a crash would have counted as "caught" — the round could
have passed while proving nothing. They now flush and os._exit with the real
verdict, and round 5 still catches all six mutations.

Cowork Local
Cowork Local is the internal AI cowork desktop platform owned by the Cowork Team. It provides the Cowork runtime, workspace and agent experiences, MCP/connectors, security controls, and model routing foundation.
The Cowork Team owns this product and its stable branch. The FSG AI Core Team contributes selected reusable capabilities through branches and Pull Requests; it is not the owner or final merger of this repository.
Quick start
The imported application is a Python/PySide6 package. Run it from the directory that contains cowork_local:
python -m cowork_local
The source snapshot does not include a complete runtime dependency manifest. Use the Cowork Team's supported runtime environment until that packaging contract is documented. The reliable automated test surface currently checked by CI is:
python -m pip install -r cowork_local/requirements-test.txt
python -m pytest cowork_local/tests -q
When already inside this repository, run python -m pytest tests -q.
Configuration and runtime data live under ~/.cowork_local/. Provider keys and local unlock codes must be supplied through environment variables or an approved secret manager; see .env.example.
Contributing
Start with START_CONTRIBUTING.md, then read CONTRIBUTING.md. Core AI task execution remains in fsg-ai-core-assets; source changes are reviewed as Pull Requests in this repository.
Security concerns should follow SECURITY.md. Ownership and completion rules are documented under docs/governance/.
