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.

The Linux AppImage can now install itself into the applications menu, so it behaves
like an installed app instead of a loose file.
- Rust (desktop/src-tauri/src/integration.rs): integration_status / integrate_desktop
/ unintegrate_desktop commands — detect $APPIMAGE, copy the AppImage to
~/Applications, write ~/.local/share/applications/thoughtsync.desktop + embedded
icon, update-desktop-database. Registered in lib.rs.
- Frontend: withGlobalTauri exposes window.__TAURI__.core.invoke; desktop/bridge.ts
(isDesktop + typed invoke, NO @tauri-apps/api dep -> web bundle unaffected);
DesktopIntegrationPrompt (first-run OOBE, remembered) mounted in App.vue;
AccountView "Desktop app" add/remove control. All desktop-guarded -> no-ops on web.
- desktop.yml: upload the .deb + .AppImage as a run artifact (continue-on-error) so
the build is downloadable for hand-testing.
Verified by CI: ci.yml (vue-tsc) for the frontend, desktop.yml (cargo + tauri build)
for the Rust + AppImage.

New desktop/ Tauri v2 project (Linux-first, cross-platform-ready):
- src-tauri: Cargo.toml (lib + thin main.rs shim), build.rs, lib.rs (Builder
entry point), tauri.conf.json (frontendDist -> ../../frontend/dist, devUrl
:5173, deb+appimage bundles), capabilities/default.json (core:default),
.gitignore.
- The shared Vue 3 frontend is the sibling ../frontend; before-commands cd via
"$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend" since frontend and src-tauri are
siblings, not nested.
- Icons generated from frontend/public/icon.svg via `cargo tauri icon` in CI
(M10.8), not committed.
Boots the shared UI in a native window. The local data adapter (M10.3/M10.5)
and CI build verification (M10.8) follow. desktop/** is not yet in the CI paths
filter — added with the desktop lane in M10.8.
