Source navigation — Windows development preview

PUBLICATION-PENDING: this draft is not a release or an acceptance claim for a package.

Navigate between declarations and references in the Textual model using F12, Shift+F12 and Alt+Left. Included source files, Unicode names and unsaved drafts are supported. Ambiguous declarations require an explicit choice; incomplete scope is shown. Navigation preserves the accepted model and editing history.

This preview also corrects source-panel movement during diagnostic refresh, Find dismissal/focus, an empty panel after Back, Windows system-menu input, and repair/recovery cases that could incorrectly report changes as saved. Applying repaired text keeps it unsaved until its destination is actually saved.

Extract the whole Windows ZIP and run arcadia-studio.exe. Keep libunwind.dll beside both executables. Examples, offline help, documentation and the optional REST server are included. Read START-HERE.txt and VALIDATION.md.

Verified before packaging: 755 Windows desktop tests passed (one ignored), strict Clippy and a matching desktop build. Native checks cover declaration and reference navigation, ambiguous/partial scope, minimum-size interaction and the 30-file engineering example. The repaired build separately passed invalid-file repair and interrupted-save rollback, Close/Cancel protection and exact saved model/identity/source comparisons. Each result retains its recorded build scope.

The produced ZIP contains 559 files, is 32,971,712 bytes, and has SHA256 d7228c542f162663933ea002739a78c722bcca41e437df63b7c868ea2af201f1. Producer file/checksum/notice/documentation checks passed. Independent archive, package launch, server persistence and publication are pending and must be inserted from their actual receipts before this draft is used.

This is an unfinished development prerelease. Text alias rename is not yet implemented. Newer peer canvas/lifecycle contributions, full quantities and calculations/constraints, maintained libraries and complete OA/SA acceptance remain outside this milestone. Linux/WSL work remains user-paused. These binaries are unoptimized development builds.

Desktop source: 33c6d83e9b, with exact raw build inputs preserved separately. The optional server is the unchanged September 7 EFEE artifact with its own source/build records; it was not rebuilt from the navigation desktop source. Exact raw-source reconstruction 802855f7e6f2f00a107a12196b458b267f586b8d is published on codex/navigation-repair-prerelease-source-20260911; it is distinct from the original build's captured HEAD. Final release tag publication remains pending.
