Desktop (Tauri) / Tauri desktop (Linux) (push) Failing after 24s
desktop M10.4: Rust local SQLite store + Tauri commands
The on-device core that makes the desktop app work with no server and no login.

- rusqlite (bundled SQLite, so no system libsqlite dependency to vary across
  builds); uuid v4 ids; RFC3339/Date.toISOString-compatible timestamps.
- Schema mirroring the note model: notes, labels, note_labels (with via_tag),
  checklist_items, attachments, link_previews, note_revisions, saved_filters,
  plus per-row sync_revision/dirty + a sync_state row for the M10.7 engine.
  user_version-gated migrations.
- derive.rs: pure [[wiki-link]] + #tag scanners (mirror the frontend inline
  rules, no regex dep) with unit tests; #tags re-sync via_tag labels on save,
  [[links]] drive backlinks at query time (derived, never stored).
- store.rs: the full repository surface (facet/label/date/text list, create,
  PATCH-semantics update, pin/archive/color/kind, checklist items, labels CRUD
  + merge, reminders complete/snooze, reorder, trash/restore/delete, revisions
  + restore, titles/search/backlinks/link-search, saved filters).
- commands.rs: ~38 #[tauri::command]s over a Mutex<Connection> in managed state.
- lib.rs: opens the DB in the platform app-data dir on setup; synthetic offline
  config/user so the auth-gated router resolves with no login.

Attachment upload / URL unfurl / import are intentionally deferred (network/file
concerns); adapters/local.ts (M10.5) wires all of the above via invoke.

Task 1993.

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).
