install.sh asked /releases/latest and installed whatever came back. That is v0.1.0 today, which predates the updater, and it was about to get worse: the `stable` pointer release write-manifest.sh creates is non-prerelease and holds only latest.json, so from the next v* tag onward it would have WON /releases/latest and the installer would have found nothing to install. So resolve a channel instead of a "latest". `--channel stable|dev` (or TS_CHANNEL), default stable, named to match update.rs's Channel exactly. dev reads /releases/tags/dev. stable reads the pointer's own latest.json, takes its version, and installs that v* release — the same file the app reads, so the installer and the updater cannot disagree about what stable means. Two things found on the way. The dev release's description still told people to run the stable command, and always would have: publish-release.sh writes a body only when it CREATES a release, and a fixed-tag release is only created once, so the text froze at the first build. The 409 path now PATCHes it. And the asset greps were unanchored, so a .AppImage.sig URL could match as the bundle URL — harmless by coincidence, not by construction.

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).
