Sign out was a trap on the desktop, not an action. It nulls the synthetic local user and redirects to /login, but the offline adapter rejects every sign-in with "there's no account to sign in to" — so the only way back into your own notes was to restart the app. There is nothing to sign out of; the notes are on this machine either way. Linked devices was a quieter version of the same thing: it lists the tokens a SERVER has issued to native clients, and the desktop is one of those clients, so offline the list is always empty and issuing a token rejects. Its actual relationship with a server already has a home at /sync. Also hid the account name, which named a login the app doesn't have. /account is now blocked in the router too, not merely hidden — the mirror of the existing requiresDesktop guard — so a typed URL or a restored history entry can't reach the dead end either. Deliberately not applied to /login and /register: bouncing those on desktop would loop against the requiresAuth guard whenever a session is missing. The launch flash is the window painting before the webview does, showing the platform default white through the gap — worst on a dark-mode desktop, and widened by the software rendering we force on Linux. Set from the live system theme rather than app.windows[].backgroundColor, because that config carries one static colour and either choice would fix half of users while introducing the same flash for the other half.

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).
