# Tauri desktop (Linux) build — SEPARATE from ci.yml on purpose: this is a heavy
# Rust + AppImage build (~20-40 min) that should NOT run on backend/frontend-only
# pushes. Scoped to desktop/** (+ this file). Produces the .deb and .AppImage.
#
# Toolchain comes from the ci-tauri image (Rust + Node + WebKitGTK 4.1 + tauri-cli);
# runs-on is just a registered scheduling label (Label Model B), not a per-purpose
# runner. The frontend is built here because tauri's generate_context! embeds it.

  # Windows installer, CROSS-COMPILED from Linux — there is no Windows build host.
  # A Windows container can't run on a Linux host (containers share the host
  # kernel), so cross-compiling is the only route without Windows hardware:
  # cargo-xwin + LLVM's lld-link + makensis are Linux programs that emit Windows
  # PE output. That toolchain is why this needs its own image rather than ci-tauri.
  #
  # NSIS only. `.msi` needs WiX v3, which is a Windows program — Tauri: ".msi
  # installers can only be created on Windows". It returns if a Windows node does.
  #
  # A separate job, so a Windows-side failure never blocks the Linux artifacts that
  # are the primary product today. Tauri calls this path "not tested as much" and a
  # last resort, and nothing here can LAUNCH a Windows binary — green means it
  # built, not that it runs. A real-machine check stays mandatory before trusting it.
