A practical beta deployment
The selected Townlight desktop composition includes Access and Notice staff workspaces alongside the existing municipal workflows. Station is a separately configured capture and media service. Standalone CivicCast keeps its own product, installation and data.
Download the Windows x64 beta 1.7.0.1, matching source and checksums from GitHub.
Architecture
The suite and its boundaries
Native staff workspaces use canonical Python/PostgreSQL services. Station has a separate database, media store and explicit Townlight authority.
Evidence rather than promises
Windows Sandbox acceptance passed.
The Windows acceptance summary records the workflows exercised with synthetic data on the released MSI. This is not a claim that every screen, vendor, upgrade or city equipment configuration has been certified.
