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).

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).
