Limitations

Hostwright 0.0.2-dev is not production-ready. The v0.0.2 target is a single Apple silicon Mac with the CLI, local scheduler, narrow Compose conversion, and native desktop console. All claims below are bounded by the exact build and evidence available for it.

Implemented development surfaces

Manifest v3 validation, explicit resource requests and limits, deterministic planning, and confirmed local lifecycle operations through authenticated Control API 2.2.
Apple container and Containerization 0.35.0 provider adapters, each limited to the capabilities it declares.
SQLite schema v24, durable ownership and reservation records, recovery, and local privacy-safe support bundles.
A narrow Compose importer that converts supported fields for operator review; unsupported input is rejected.
A native app for authenticated up, down, and restart with confirmation.

Implementation status does not mean release qualification is complete. Current source must still pass physical-host lifecycle and soak work, desktop and accessibility checks, VM install/upgrade/recovery, security review, and signed artifact verification.

Outside the v0.0.2 scope

Area	Boundary
Multi-Mac	No cluster membership, quorum, remote placement, or cross-host recovery.
Kubernetes	No Kubernetes, CRI, CNI, CSI, kubelet, or Helm compatibility.
Docker ecosystem	No Docker API or client compatibility; no full Compose compatibility.
Scheduling	No topology optimization, automatic preemption, or cross-host placement.
Accelerators	No direct guest GPU/ANE passthrough or host-native accelerator service.
Desktop	No team, MDM, cloud, or automatic update service.
Support	No production support SLA, hosted diagnostics, telemetry upload, or cloud control plane.
Release	`v0.0.2` is not GA until protected release and artifact evidence gates pass.
