android: scaffold the Tauri mobile lane and build a debug APK in CI
The phone client is Tauri v2 mobile (operator decision), so it reuses the Vue
frontend and the Rust store and sync engine that already exist rather than
becoming a third implementation to keep in step by hand.

gen/android is committed. tauri android init generated it, its own .gitignore
already excludes the build outputs and every keystore file, and CI must not have
to regenerate a project that manifest edits will accumulate in.

What the scaffold confirms is that the image's JDK pin was load-bearing rather
than incidental: Tauri templated Gradle 8.14.3 with AGP 8.11.0, and CI-android's
versions.env records that JDK 25 needs Gradle 9.1.0+ and that anything older
fails with an opaque "25.0.3" message. Picking 17 for ci-tauri-android avoided
exactly that. namespace and applicationId came out as com.fabledsword.thoughtsync,
matching the desktop identifier, so the app-data story stays consistent.

The lane builds a DEBUG APK for arm64 only. Release APKs need signing, and the
keystore has to be generated by the operator and never pass through CI logs or an
agent session — the constraint recorded for the updater key applies unchanged.
Gradle's throwaway debug keystore needs nothing from anyone, so this can prove the
app compiles and packages today and grow a signed job when a key exists. arm64 is
every real device; the image carries the other three ABIs, so widening is a word.

Triggered by frontend/** as well as desktop/**, because generate_context! compiles
the frontend into the app — the same reasoning that widened desktop.yml. Android,
desktop and web are peers on one quality bar, and a frontend commit that skipped
this lane would ship a stale phone build.

Green here will mean it BUILT. A Linux runner cannot execute an APK, so nothing in
this lane proves the app runs, renders, or is usable by finger.

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

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)

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).
