M10.7b: pull the change feed into the local store (task 2105)
Server -> local. sync/wire.rs mirrors the delta-feed JSON exactly as
notes/serialize.py sends it; sync/pull.rs applies it.

ATOMICITY IS THE POINT. The cursor is written in the SAME transaction as the
page it describes. A cursor committed ahead of its data would skip those rows
forever while reporting a clean sync — the worst kind of failure, because
nothing looks wrong. A test forces a mid-page failure and asserts the cursor
stayed put.

Every degradation leans toward re-downloading rather than skipping: an
unparseable cursor means full sync, wire fields are all defaulted so a newer
server adding a field (or an older one omitting one) yields a partial note
instead of a rejected page, and a page that fails rolls back whole.

Labels are applied before notes so a membership never references a row that
doesn't exist. A note also carries enough of its labels to materialize them,
because notes and labels page from ONE shared sequence and a note can arrive
referencing a label whose own delta landed in an earlier page.

via_tag is applied verbatim rather than re-deriving #tags from the body. The
server already reconciled them on save, and re-deriving would go through the
local find-or-create path, which marks new labels dirty — pushing them
straight back. Sync churn manufactured out of nothing.

Duplicate-label merge, the subtle one: a label created offline can collide by
name with one the server already had under a different id. Both sides enforce
one label per name, so the server's row has to win — but simply deleting the
local duplicate would CASCADE its note_labels away, stripping the label off
notes this pull never mentions, with no later page to repair it. So we free
the name, insert the server's row, re-point the memberships, then drop the
husk. Tested.

Children (items/attachments/previews/labels) are replaced wholesale rather
than diffed: a delta carries the note's FULL state, so what arrived IS the
complete set, and diffing could strand a row the server no longer has.

The loop trusts the data over the flag — a server claiming has_more without
advancing its cursor stops with an error instead of spinning forever.

Pull can overwrite a row with unpushed local edits. The documented cycle is
push-then-pull (M10.7c), so that should never happen; when it does it's
counted as clobbered_dirty and logged rather than hidden.

17 tests, all against an in-memory database.

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.

Layout

desktop/
  src-tauri/
    Cargo.toml
    build.rs
    tauri.conf.json          # frontendDist -> ../../frontend/dist, devUrl :5173
    capabilities/default.json
    src/
      main.rs                # thin shim -> lib::run()
      lib.rs                 # tauri::Builder entry point

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).
