Operator (note 2930): tags exist so you can *"filter during a search"*. The server has always been able to do that — `GET /api/notes` composes `?q=` with `?label=` and the rest into one AND-ed query. The frontend never reached it. The header search box navigated to `/search`, and that view called a DIFFERENT endpoint — `GET /api/notes/search?q=`, full text only, no facets at all. So the one screen you landed on when you searched was the one screen where you could not narrow by tag. Tag filtering lived on the board's FilterBar, which is where you weren't searching. Two search boxes, two endpoints, and only the hidden one did what tags are for. Now the header box writes `?q=` into the board's URL beside whatever labels are already there, and stays on the lens you're in — searching while looking at Trash searches Trash. The box READS from the URL rather than holding its own copy, so it stays in step with the Filters panel's Clear and with a saved view opened from the sidebar. Deleted: `SearchView.vue`, its route, `GET /api/notes/search`, `repo.notes.search` and both adapter implementations, and the `notes_search` Tauri command whose only caller was the adapter entry. FilterBar loses its own "Search text…" input — it was the same facet, hidden behind a collapsed panel, duplicating a box that is always on screen. Filters now does what its name says: narrowing. The header does searching. `core::store::search` STAYS. Android calls it through the FFI (`search_notes`) and has its own search surface — which has the same no-tag-filter gap the web just lost, and deserves the same fix on its own terms rather than as a rider here.
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.

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).
