Hydrogen .hyui designer and XML source |
🟡 Available; visual/interaction parity pending |

| Source-level debugger | 🔴 Not implemented |
| Qualified Linux/macOS/Windows binary release | 🔴 Not yet certified |
A previous CI checkpoint passed six jobs across Linux, Windows and macOS. The latest designer changes still need fresh CI and real visual acceptance. Automated builds are not proof that the entire graphical interface works.

Documentation is updated manually; it does not automatically follow every compiler or IDE commit. When in doubt, the Development source and its status file are authoritative.
