GitHub user Astro-Han added a comment to the discussion: [DISCUSS] Ship Cua Driver or keep maka-cu for macOS Computer Use?

Thanks @M4n5ter. I’ve updated #5611 and tested a signed, notarized Maka app on a real Mac. Background writes, foreground input and focus restoration, menu expansion, stale observations, and driver restart passed through the packaged production tool/backend. Partial background menus are reported as incomplete.

I’d like to revise the foreground-consent proposal. Computer Use now follows Runtime Host’s permission mode without another per-action confirmation. Default bypass permits dispatch; Computer Use remains unavailable outside bypass until Host supports managed admission. Background remains the default, with fresh observations and no automatic foreground fallback.

Text selection is a real gap. Typing into an existing selection preserved formatting in TextEdit, but replacing the whole field removed bold, color and italics, including after saving. Cua cannot currently select an arbitrary range or report the selected text.

I recommend keeping #5611 draft until native range selection and selection readback are restored, rather than substituting whole-field writes.

Codex helped implement and test this update.

感谢 @M4n5ter。我已更新 #5611，并在真实 Mac 上测试了已签名、公证的 Maka app。通过打包后的生产工具/backend，后台写入、前台输入与焦点恢复、菜单展开、旧观察拒绝和驱动重启检查均通过。后台菜单内容不完整时，观察结果会明确标注。

我想调整之前的前台操作同意方案。Computer Use 现在沿用 Runtime Host 的权限模式，不再追加逐次确认。默认 bypass 允许执行；在 Host 支持 managed 审批之前，其他模式仍不能使用 Computer Use。操作仍默认走后台，使用新观察，不自动切到前台。

文本选择确实存在能力缺口。在 TextEdit 中，往已有选区输入能保留格式；但整字段替换会丢失粗体、颜色和斜体，保存后也是如此。Cua 当前无法选中任意文本范围，也无法报告已选中的文本。

我建议让 #5611 保持 draft，先恢复原生范围选择和选区回读，不用整字段重写替代局部编辑。

Codex 协助完成了这次实现和测试。
