bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 02c932260e Updater signing key, a rising dev version, and a production compose
Desktop (Tauri) / Windows installer (cross-compiled) (push) Successful in 2m33s
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 4m37s
Desktop (Tauri) / Update manifest (push) Successful in 3s
Three things, all needed before the update loop can be tested.

The public signing key is committed. Verified before trusting it: algorithm
`Ed`, key ID 90E96FEA2F6D9B6A matching its own comment, 32-byte Ed25519 key.

Dev builds now carry a version that RISES. Every build took its version from
Cargo.toml, so each one was 0.1.0 — an installed 0.1.0 would read a manifest
advertising 0.1.0, conclude it was current, and never update. The rolling
channel would have looked broken while working exactly as written. Dev builds
are now 0.1.<ci-run-number>, from one helper shared by both bundle jobs and the
manifest writer, because three separate derivations of "what version is this"
is three chances for the binary and the manifest to disagree.

Plain semver, not a `-dev.N` prerelease: prerelease versions sort BELOW the
release they qualify, so a tagged build would never update to a newer dev one,
and Windows installer metadata wants a numeric X.Y.Z regardless. Bumping the
minor still beats any dev build on the old line — 0.2.0 > 0.1.2932.

The Windows job also gets the signing environment it was missing, so its NSIS
installer is signed too. Without that the manifest would have had a Linux entry
and nothing for the platform actually being tested.

docker-compose.yml is now the production stack, per request: it pulls the
published image instead of building, keeps Postgres OFF the host network, sets
restart policies, health checks and log rotation, and refuses to start without
a POSTGRES_PASSWORD rather than shipping a known one. Volume names are
deliberately unchanged so an existing deployment upgrades in place instead of
silently coming up against an empty database. Development keeps its own
clearly-named file.

There was no in-place update anywhere. The app never checked, downloaded or
applied anything, and the only published release predates the whole sync arc —
so `install.sh` would hand out a build with no sync in it. Installing from
per-run CI artifacts, which is what's been happening, is not something an
updater can point at: ephemeral, auth-gated, no stable URL.

Two channels, switchable in the app: `stable` follows tagged releases, `dev`
follows every green push.

The feed is a Fabled-Git release asset, not a ThoughtSync server route. This
reverses the lean recorded in task 1998, and the reason matters — a
server-hosted feed can only reach a desktop that has linked a server, and
local-first-with-no-server is the whole premise. An unlinked install has to be
able to update itself.

Each channel reads a `latest.json` on a release whose TAG NEVER MOVES.
That's forced, not stylistic: Forgejo has no /releases/latest/download/<asset>
route (verified — it 404s with no redirect), so "newest" cannot be named in a
URL. `dev` carries the rolling bundles; `stable` is a pointer release holding
only the manifest, whose URLs aim at the versioned release's assets, so nothing
is duplicated.

The manifest is written by a third job that runs after both bundle jobs. They
build in separate workspaces and neither can see the other's output, but one
manifest has to describe both platforms — generating it inside either job would
silently omit the other, and a missing platform reads to a user as "no update
available" rather than as a broken feed. It reads what actually landed on the
release, so it can never advertise a bundle that failed to upload.

Signing is gated on the secret existing, in the script rather than an `if:`
(the secrets context isn't reliably available to step conditions). No key means
no updater artifacts and no publish: a feed the app would refuse to verify is
worse than no feed, because it looks like it works. CI stays green until the
key lands.

On Linux the updater can only replace an AppImage — a deb or pacman install is
owned by its package manager and must never be overwritten underneath it. The
app detects that case up front and says so, instead of failing halfway through
with a permissions error nobody can read.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 ab961f13ce desktop: cross-compiled Windows NSIS installer lane (task 2015)
Desktop (Tauri) / Windows installer (cross-compiled) (push) Failing after 48s
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m40s
Adds a `windows` job to desktop.yml on the new ci-tauri-win image, producing a
Windows -setup.exe without any Windows hardware. A Windows container can't run
on a Linux host, so cross-compilation is the only route: --runner cargo-xwin
supplies the MSVC CRT/SDK (pre-warmed into the image) and links with lld-link,
and makensis builds the installer.

NSIS only. .msi needs WiX v3, a Windows program — per Tauri, ".msi installers
can only be created on Windows". It comes back if a Windows node ever exists.

Kept as a separate job so a Windows-side failure can never block the Linux
artifacts, which are the primary product today. publish-release.sh now globs
the windows target root too; nullglob means each job uploads only what its own
workspace contains, and the release is created once and reused via the 409
path, so both jobs can publish to the same release safely.

No app code changes were needed. The AppImage self-integration UI already
gates on is_appimage (AccountView.vue:131, DesktopIntegrationPrompt.vue:22),
and $APPIMAGE is never set on Windows, so the OOBE prompt and Settings toggle
hide themselves.

Recorded plainly in ci-requirements.md that this is the weakest-verified lane
we have: Tauri calls Linux->Windows cross-compilation "not tested as much" and
a last resort, and a Linux runner cannot execute a Windows binary. Green means
it built. A real Windows machine check is mandatory before trusting a release,
and installers are unsigned until a certificate exists.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 dc68386d1a desktop: point the install command at a branch that exists
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m27s
The advertised curl URL referenced raw/branch/main, but main has never been
created (creating it is rejected by a branch-protection rule that matches the
name even with no branch behind it), so the one-command install 404'd. dev is
currently the repo's only branch and serves the script fine now that the repo
is public — verified 200, with all three v0.1.0 release assets resolving and
the AppImage downloading in full.

Flagged in the header to move back to main once that branch exists, so the
public install command stops tracking day-to-day work.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 85ca7c2a2d desktop: drop the redundant deb depends, correct the pacman docs
CI & Build / Python lint (push) Successful in 2s
CI & Build / TypeScript typecheck (push) Successful in 7s
CI & Build / Python tests (push) Successful in 8s
CI & Build / Build & push image (push) Successful in 17s
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m28s
Follow-up to 8a8b2b1, driven by what run 2872's new checks actually printed.

The .deb verification did its job on its first run: tauri already infers
exactly libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 + libgtk-3-0, so declaring the same two in
tauri.conf.json produced a control file listing each of them twice. Removed
the declaration — verify.sh is the real guard, and it fails the build if
inference ever stops covering what the binary links.

The pacman step revealed ci-tauri carries neither zstd nor bsdtar, so packages
currently ship as .pkg.tar.xz with no .MTREE. Both are working outcomes
(pacman reads xz; only `pacman -Qkk` needs .MTREE), but the docs promised
.zst, so the README, the release notes and ci-requirements.md now describe
what the build actually produces.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5 8a8b2b17e6 desktop: prebuilt pacman package + verified .deb (tasks 2022, 2074)
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m41s
Native packages the installer can actually fetch, before task 2014 wires up
the fetching.

Arch (task 2022, re-scoped): the source PKGBUILD is gone — asking every user
to install rust+node and compile for minutes isn't distribution. Replaced by
desktop/packaging/arch/package-prebuilt.sh, which wraps the binary the Linux
job already built into a .pkg.tar.zst. No second Rust build, no Arch CI image:
the binary bundles nothing and resolves webkit/gtk/soup by soname, identical
on both distros, with SQLite compiled in and glibc used in the safe
built-old/run-new direction. CI is Debian and has no pacman, so the step logs
.PKGINFO plus the full file listing for audit instead of pretending to verify.

Debian (task 2074): install.sh hands the .deb to every Debian/Ubuntu user and
nothing had ever inspected it. tauri.conf.json now declares
libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 + libgtk-3-0 explicitly rather than trusting inference —
and deliberately declares no appindicator or sqlite dep, since tauri is built
with features=[] and rusqlite is "bundled". desktop/packaging/deb/verify.sh
prints the generated control file, cross-checks it against what the ELF
actually needs via dpkg-shlibdeps, confirms every declared dep exists in apt,
and clean-container installs when a docker CLI is available.

Both artifacts join the run artifact and the tagged release; install.sh grows
a pacman branch so Arch/CachyOS gets a native install instead of the AppImage
fallback. Still no release cut (rule 2).

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 4.8 36c05f5029 desktop: release-publish pipeline + one-command Linux installer
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m45s
Phase A of the desktop Release + install path (M10 / tasks 2014, 1998):

- .forgejo/workflows/desktop.yml: tag-gated "Publish release" step +
  contents:write. On a v* tag the build now publishes a Fabled-Git Release
  with the de-bundled AppImage + .deb attached — a stable, versioned fetch
  target (Actions artifacts are ephemeral/test-only). Dormant on dev/main.
- desktop/packaging/publish-release.sh: creates/reuses the Release via the
  Forgejo API using the runner-injected token; idempotent asset replace.
- desktop/packaging/install.sh: curl|sh one-command installer — native .deb
  on Debian/Ubuntu, de-bundled AppImage everywhere else (installed to
  ~/Applications/ThoughtSync.AppImage, matching src/integration.rs so the app
  sees itself integrated). AppImage path needs no sudo.

Plumbing only — no release cut (rule 2); activates on the operator's first
v* tag. In-app self-update (tauri-plugin-updater + signed latest.json) is
Phase B, gated on the operator's signing key.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 4.8 b08cdb92b5 desktop AppImage: de-bundle host-coupled graphics libs (fixes black window)
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m14s
Tauri's AppImage bundles the build host's graphics/display stack
(libEGL/libGL/libdrm/libgbm/libwayland-* + Mesa dri drivers) into usr/lib.
On many end-user systems (Arch/CachyOS, NVIDIA, Wayland) those clash with
the running kernel driver + Mesa and abort with EGL_BAD_PARAMETER -> a black
window (issue 2021). They load before any renderer choice, so the runtime
env fallbacks can't rescue it; per the AppImage excludelist they must come
from the host.

Add a CI-only post-build step (desktop/packaging/appimage/debundle-graphics.sh)
that extracts the built AppImage, strips exactly that graphics/display subset
(keeping webkit/gtk bundled for portability), and repackages in place so the
app falls through to the system's graphics libs. Wired into desktop.yml
between the Tauri build and the artifact upload.

Task 2023. Makes the AppImage the zero-install taste-test vehicle.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 4.8 98d918dda2 M10 (task 2022, issue 2021): Arch pacman package + commit icon set (native, system libs)
Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Successful in 3m27s
Native-first fix for the AppImage black window: a PKGBUILD that builds from source,
linked against SYSTEM graphics libs, so it renders on the host driver.
- desktop/packaging/arch/{PKGBUILD,thoughtsync.desktop,README.md}: `makepkg -si`
  installs /usr/bin/thoughtsync + .desktop + icon; deps webkit2gtk-4.1/gtk3/...;
  builds the frontend + `cargo build --release` (no tauri-cli). Uses the host
  graphics stack -> avoids EGL_BAD_PARAMETER.
- Commit the icon set (desktop/src-tauri/icons/*.png, un-gitignored) so BOTH
  `cargo build` (pacman) and `cargo tauri build` (deb/appimage) work without a
  generate step; bundle.icon -> the 4 committed PNGs; drop the `cargo tauri icon`
  step from desktop.yml.
- Broaden the WebKit software-render hardening (lib.rs) to ALL Linux (was
  AppImage-scoped) so the native build also renders if system WebKit is finicky.

Can't CI-test the PKGBUILD (Arch-only; CI is Debian) -- operator builds locally.
desktop.yml re-verifies the deb+AppImage build with the committed icons.
