Computer Use is useful when explicitly needed, but exposing its MCP tools by default creates unnecessary desktop-control surface for users who want coding-only sessions. This adds a shared disable path for CLI flags, environment, and desktop settings while keeping preauthorized app state in one config file.
The same change also preserves Windows and WSL shell startup behavior by applying the MSYS argument-conversion guard only on WSL-bound launches.
Constraint: Computer Use MCP must not be exposed to the Coding Agent when disabled
Constraint: Desktop settings and CLI sessions need to read the same persisted Computer Use config
Rejected: Environment-only disable switch | desktop users need a persistent Settings control
Rejected: Remove Computer Use setup entirely | enabled sessions still need the existing built-in MCP path
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep every new Computer Use entrypoint wired through loadStoredComputerUseConfig or the CLI disable flag before adding MCP tools

Contributors need a visible path for local verification instead of relying on design notes or maintainer memory. Add a GitHub-facing CONTRIBUTING entrypoint, bilingual docs pages, README links, and VitePress sidebar navigation for PR gates, live model baselines, provider selection, reports, and release checks.
Constraint: Live baseline providers are local machine state; docs must tell contributors how to list and choose their own providers without maintainer UUIDs.
Rejected: Keep the instructions only in the quality-gate design doc | too hidden for clone-and-contribute workflows
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep quality-gate commands documented wherever contributor onboarding links are exposed.
Tested: bun run check:docs
Tested: bun run quality:pr
Not-tested: live baseline after the docs-only wording change
