Milestone 325 step 5 (Scribe #3253). curl -fsSL https://notes.example.com/install.sh | sh The server serves the installer at /install.sh with its own address written into it (installer.py). Settings → Public address when set, the request's own address otherwise. The substitution is one variable, given a value that has passed a strict shape check, and the script checks it again; an address that cannot pass makes the route refuse rather than serve a script pointed elsewhere. `public_url` joins the live settings cache so the route needs no database. From a server, the script: - resolves each Linux bundle from the public /api/client/<platform>, and builds the download URL from the platform id rather than reading it from the reply; - asks for a device token (from the terminal, since stdin is the script), or takes TS_TOKEN, and sends it from a file rather than the command line; - checks the sha256 the server published before anything installs; - revokes a prompted token once the download is done; - records `install-server` for the updater (step 6) instead of the channel. The forge path is unchanged, and stays the default for the copy the forge serves. The Account page's downloads card shows the one-line command whenever the server holds a Linux client.

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).
