This starts:

• Vite renderer

CI

GitHub Actions runs the build pipeline from .github/workflows/build.yml:

• pnpm typecheck
• pnpm test
• pnpm build

Tagged releases matching v* build Windows, macOS, and Linux x64/arm64 desktop installers and publish them to GitHub Releases.

Notes

• Electron is now the only desktop runtime target in this repository.
• Tauri runtime files, dependencies, compatibility layers, and data migrations are intentionally not supported.
