 ## Milestone 7 - Cross-Platform Protocol Hardening
 
-Status: Planned
+Status: Completed
 
-Planned Scope:
-- Validate SSH/RDP/VNC workflows on Windows, Linux, and macOS
-- Fix platform-specific runtime/process/auth issues
-- Add repeatable protocol validation checklist/scripts
+Delivered:
+- Validated SSH and RDP workflows on Linux, macOS, and Windows 11 (VNC is out
+  of scope while Milestone 6 remains deferred)
+- Windows: validated the full `docs/BUILDING.md` toolchain end-to-end
+  (Git/CMake/Ninja/VS Build Tools with the C++ workload/vcpkg for
+  Qt6-OpenSSL-zlib); documented a VS Build Tools installer gotcha where the
+  actual compiler is a "recommended", not "required", component of the
+  VCTools workload
+- Fixed RDP keyboard input misreading punctuation keys on Linux (X11 keycode
+  numbering was being treated as a PC/AT scancode; now uses FreeRDP's
+  authoritative X11-keycode-to-scancode table)
+- Added RDP clipboard sync (bidirectional, plain text) and RDP cursor/pointer
+  shape sync (resize handles, text I-beam, etc. instead of a static arrow)
+- Fixed Tab/Shift+Tab being intercepted by local UI focus navigation instead
+  of reaching SSH/RDP sessions
+- Fixed RDP key auto-repeat being dropped, so holding a key only ever sent a
+  single keystroke to the remote machine
+- Windows-specific RDP fixes: a crash on every connect attempt (FreeRDP's
+  signal-handling critical section was never initialized) and a host
+  resolution failure on every connect, including literal IP addresses
+  (Winsock was never initialized via `WSAStartup`)
+- Windows: automatic build-time deployment of Qt's platform/SQL-driver
+  plugins and their runtime DLL dependencies, and marked the executable as a
+  GUI (`WIN32`) app to remove a stray console window behind the UI
+- Windows and macOS: proper native app icon embedding (Windows `.rc`/`.ico`
+  resource; macOS `.app` bundle with `.icns`), replacing the generic default
+  icon previously shown for the built executable/bundle
+- macOS: fixed Edit/New Profile dialog form fields collapsing to `sizeHint`
+  width due to the platform-default `QFormLayout` field growth policy
+
+Git:
+- Tag: Pending user approval (`v0-m7-done`)
