Adds a `windows` job to desktop.yml on the new ci-tauri-win image, producing a Windows -setup.exe without any Windows hardware. A Windows container can't run on a Linux host, so cross-compilation is the only route: --runner cargo-xwin supplies the MSVC CRT/SDK (pre-warmed into the image) and links with lld-link, and makensis builds the installer. NSIS only. .msi needs WiX v3, a Windows program — per Tauri, ".msi installers can only be created on Windows". It comes back if a Windows node ever exists. Kept as a separate job so a Windows-side failure can never block the Linux artifacts, which are the primary product today. publish-release.sh now globs the windows target root too; nullglob means each job uploads only what its own workspace contains, and the release is created once and reused via the 409 path, so both jobs can publish to the same release safely. No app code changes were needed. The AppImage self-integration UI already gates on is_appimage (AccountView.vue:131, DesktopIntegrationPrompt.vue:22), and $APPIMAGE is never set on Windows, so the OOBE prompt and Settings toggle hide themselves. Recorded plainly in ci-requirements.md that this is the weakest-verified lane we have: Tauri calls Linux->Windows cross-compilation "not tested as much" and a last resort, and a Linux runner cannot execute a Windows binary. Green means it built. A real Windows machine check is mandatory before trusting a release, and installers are unsigned until a certificate exists.

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).
