The core pulls with shares from a server offering them (protocol 6): a note says how it is held (owner, edit, view) and who shared it, and a revoked note leaves the device. The first such pull starts the feed over once, so notes shared before this build arrive. The store refuses what a share doesn't allow (view: everything; edit: anything but the text), push sends only the text of someone else's note, and their notes stay out of trash, reminders and reordering. Unlinking drops them. The Share dialog's calls go to the linked server over the device token, as Tauri commands and through the FFI. The desktop now offers Share and "Shared with me"; unlinked, the dialog says sharing needs a server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Inkwell desktop (Tauri v2)
Local-first desktop client. The window loads the shared Vue 3 frontend from
../frontend; the Rust core (src-tauri) owns the on-device store and the opt-in
sync engine (built out across the M10 milestone). Works fully offline; optionally
syncs to a self-hosted Inkwell server.

The Vue frontend is the sibling ../frontend package, shared with the web
build. On desktop it is backed by a local data source via
frontend/src/adapters/ (M10.3) instead of the server REST API. frontend and
src-tauri are siblings, not nested, so the beforeDev/beforeBuild
commands cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend" to resolve regardless of
the CLI's working directory.
Prerequisites
The toolchain (Rust + Node + WebKitGTK 4.1 + tauri-cli) is provided by the
ci-tauri CI image. For local dev: install Rust + Node, cargo install tauri-cli,
and the Tauri v2 Linux system deps — see CI-tauri/Dockerfile in the CI-runner
repo for the exact apt list (libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, libgtk-3-dev, librsvg2-dev,
libayatana-appindicator3-dev, libxdo-dev, patchelf, ...).
Dev
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri dev
beforeDevCommand starts the Vite dev server (port 5173) in ../frontend.
Build (Linux)
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri build # -> .deb + .AppImage
App icons are generated and committed: python3 packaging/icons.py draws the
inkwell mark once and renders every web, desktop and Android icon from it,
including app-icon.png and icons/*.png here. The Windows lane derives its
.ico from app-icon.png with cargo tauri icon at build time. Bundle targets:
deb, appimage (Linux-first; Windows/macOS later, no code changes expected).
Status
Scaffold (M10.2): boots the shared Vue UI in a native window. Until the local data
adapter lands (M10.3 + M10.5) the app has no server configured, so it shows the
login screen without a working backend — full offline functionality arrives with
the local SQLite store (M10.4) + adapters/local.ts (M10.5).
