## Quick Reference

### Package Manager

This project uses **pnpm** for package management:

```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Add frontend package
pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-<name>

# Add Rust plugin
cargo add tauri-plugin-<name>

# Development server
pnpm tauri dev

# Build production
pnpm tauri build
```

### Key Concepts

- **Commands**: Frontend calls to Rust functions via `invoke()`
- **Events**: Bidirectional communication between frontend and backend
- **Permissions**: Capability-based security model
- **Plugins**: Official plugins for common functionality
