Step 3 of milestone 481 (Scribe note 5071: a full rename).
- crates thoughtsync-{core,desktop,ffi,uniffi-bindgen} → inkwell-*, the
Cargo.lock entries moved to match (checked with `cargo metadata --locked`)
- Tauri: productName "Inkwell", identifier com.fabledsword.inkwell, binary
`inkwell`, updater feed on bvandeusen/inkwell, store file inkwell.db
- client agent inkwell-desktop, headers X-Inkwell-Client/-Protocol (the server
reads neither), capture event inkwell://captured, display-version env
- .deb: conflicts + replaces thought-sync, so the updater's install retires the
old package instead of colliding on it. kebab-case("Inkwell") is `inkwell`, so
the package name finally matches the command and verify.sh now asserts it
- pacman: inkwell, conflicting with and replacing thoughtsync and
thoughtsync-desktop
- AppImage ~/Applications/Inkwell.AppImage, menu entry inkwell.desktop,
installer, release titles, desktop asset names in fetch-clients.sh
The one shim, chosen by the operator because it is the only copy of a
local-first user's notes: crossover.rs moves the old
com.fabledsword.thoughtsync app-data dir's contents into the new one on startup,
before the store opens, renaming thoughtsync.db and its -wal/-shm with it. It
skips when the new dir already has a store, and anything already in the new dir
wins (the installer writes its channel marker there first). Tested.
Android's Kotlin side (package, applicationId, uniffi class) is step 4. Its
release asset names stay thoughtsync.* until then.

ThoughtSync 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 ThoughtSync server.
Layout

Cargo.toml

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 "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend" to resolve regardless of
the CLI's working directory.
Prerequisites
The toolchain (Rust + Node + WebKitGTK 4.1 + tauri-cli) is provided by the
ci-tauri CI image. For local dev: install Rust + Node, cargo install tauri-cli,
and the Tauri v2 Linux system deps — see CI-tauri/Dockerfile in the CI-runner
repo for the exact apt list (libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, libgtk-3-dev, librsvg2-dev,
libayatana-appindicator3-dev, libxdo-dev, patchelf, ...).
Dev
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri dev
beforeDevCommand starts the Vite dev server (port 5173) in ../frontend.
Build (Linux)
cargo tauri icon "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend/public/icon.svg"
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri build # -> .deb + .AppImage
App icons are generated from the frontend's icon.svg via cargo tauri icon
(not committed; CI does this before cargo tauri build). 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).
