# Tauri Desktop

## Start Here

- Check `src-tauri/src/main.rs` for exposed desktop commands.
- Check `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` for app window, bundle, and icon configuration.
- Check `src-tauri/capabilities/default.json` for command permissions.
- Use `docs/manual-qa.md` for packaged desktop install smoke.

## Commands

```bash
cargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml
npm run tauri dev
```

`npm run verify` includes the Tauri cargo check.

## Guardrails

- Keep platform-specific paths and commands cross-platform unless a branch is intentional.
- Update generated Tauri schema files when config changes produce them.
- Keep icon references valid for the configured desktop bundle targets.
- Exercise native dialog or shell behavior manually when browser smoke tests cannot cover it.
