install.sh installs from your own server, not just from the forge
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.

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).
