Found while preparing the release, and it would have quietly defeated the point of cutting one. The version does NOT come from the tag. `desktop/packaging/build-version.sh` reads `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml`, and on `dev` it appends the CI run number (`0.1.269`) while on a tag or `main` it ships the file's value verbatim — which was still `0.1.0`. So tagging today would have published a "release" numbered BELOW every dev build already out there, and below the 0.1.227 on the operator's phone. The desktop updater compares semver: an installed build would have read the stable manifest, seen a version older than its own, and correctly concluded it was already current. The APK would have installed (versionCode is the run number and keeps rising) while displaying a version that reads as going backwards. build-version.sh predicted this in its own comment: "Bumping the minor in Cargo.toml still wins over any dev build on the old line, which is the ordering you want: 0.2.0 > 0.1.2932." Bumped in four places, which is every one that can be read by something: - `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml` — the actual source; everything else derives - `tauri.conf.json` — overridden at build time by `--config`, but a checked-in value that lies is exactly how issue 2183 happened - `pyproject.toml` + `__init__.py` — the server's APP_VERSION fallback when no BUILD_VERSION is injected `core` and `android/ffi` stay at 0.1.0 deliberately: internal library crates whose version reaches no surface, and versioning workspace libs independently of the app is normal. Cargo.lock regenerated with `cargo fetch` per ci-requirements — one line, the version itself. Verified: a tag build now yields 0.2.0 and a dev build 0.2.270, so stable is an upgrade for every existing install and dev stays ahead of stable.
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).
