attachments sync: attach offline, upload when linked, removals stick (#5168)
Desktop could not create an attachment at all, and a removed attachment or
dismissed preview came back on the next pull. Now:

- core: add_attachment keeps the bytes in the blob store and queues the row
  (schema v10: attachments.uploaded / upload_error). Push uploads it once its
  note has landed. A refusal that retrying won't fix (too large, id clash, hash
  mismatch) is recorded on the file and not re-sent every cycle; the editor
  shows it.
- core: removing a synced attachment or dismissing a preview leaves a tombstone
  in pending_deletes; push sends it as an `attachment`/`preview` delete, and a
  pull while it waits doesn't put the row back. A pull also keeps files still
  waiting to upload instead of replacing them wholesale.
- server: PUT /api/sync/attachments/<id> (raw body, sha256-checked, idempotent,
  size-capped) and child deletes in push, which apply regardless of LWW and
  answer noop for rows the caller can't see. One store_attachment helper for
  the upload route, the importer and sync. Protocol 5, feature attachment_sync;
  the client sends neither to a server without it.
- server: migration 0031 makes a link preview's insert/delete bump its note, so
  background-fetched previews and web dismissals reach linked devices.
- desktop: Attach and paste-image work offline (raw-bytes IPC command).
- SVG is served as a download by the desktop blob scheme too (as #1981 did for
  the web), and drawn as a file chip on both.
- autosync: drop the catch_unwind; release builds abort on panic, so it only
  ever worked in debug builds.

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.

Layout

desktop/
  src-tauri/
    Cargo.toml
    build.rs
    tauri.conf.json          # frontendDist -> ../../frontend/dist, devUrl :5173
    capabilities/default.json
    src/
      main.rs                # thin shim -> lib::run()
      lib.rs                 # tauri::Builder entry point

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).
