altai-cli crate (clap command tree, doctor, version, completion, config, models)	Verified	unit/smoke tests pass

altai run real one-shot execution	Verified	scripted-provider smoke + dry-run
Output modes pretty / json / jsonl	Verified	clap + renderer tests
Ctrl-C / timeout / approval exit codes	Verified	RunExitCode mapping tests; runtime select wired
Non-TTY default permission plan	Verified	resolve_run_permission

Mid-run /dev/tty approval resume for altai run	Verified	oneshot prompts on controlling TTY; non-TTY still exits 4
Runtime /key API key entry (TUI + line mode)	Verified	persist to config.toml + SwitchModel hot-swap; mask suffix only

Incomplete

Capability	Gap	Planned milestone
Full PTY visual golden frames	Width-fit string snapshots only; buffer goldens live in IsanAgent	Expand in IsanAgent + lock bump
Background / notification journal rows	Intentionally not journaled (Desktop UI-only via is_system_event)	N/A — Desktop parity

Next milestone

M6 — Remaining hardening

CLI archives ship on GitHub Releases. Run-scoped Desktop journal kinds are covered (including warnings). Remaining: PTY golden frames in IsanAgent.
