Quiet. No reports and thumbs-up in the last two weeks, down from 22 a week at the late-September peak.

Native Computer Use unavailable in dot-delegated Windows tasks. Delegated tasks run shell commands on the connected computer but report "Native computer APIs are disabled", empty app inventory (apps: []) and no callable node_repl.
