byGalax 228608ef2c feat: tray, window-state, sqlite cache, decrypt worker
System tray (desktop)
- tauri tray-icon feature + tray with menu (Öffnen/Ausblenden/Beenden)
- Left-click toggles main window; right-click shows menu
- JS emits tray-unread-update event, Rust mirrors into tooltip +
  macOS dock badge via set_badge_label
- ConversationsContext wires totalUnread → tray

Window state persistence
- tauri-plugin-window-state (desktop-only target guard)
- Auto-restore size/position/maximized between restarts

Local SQLite message cache
- tauri-plugin-sql hydration of conversation view on mount
- persistMessages after each refresh, deleteCachedMessage on realtime
  DELETE, pruneCache keeps latest 1000 per conversation
- Stores plaintext only (same trust boundary as stronghold device
  key; cache never leaves the device, E2EE w.r.t. server unchanged)

Web Worker for decryption
- workers/decrypt.worker.ts runs crypto_secretbox_open_easy + utf-8
  decode off the main thread with its own libsodium instance
- lib/decryptWorker.ts is a request/response wrapper with inline
  fallback when Worker spawn fails
- shared decryptMessages accepts aeadBatchDelegate so key lookup
  stays on the main thread while the AEAD loop offloads

Build fix
- Enable tauri tray-icon feature
- Import Listener + Manager traits, clone tray handle for the
  event listener, conditional icon attach

@chat-app/desktop

Tauri v2 + React + Vite + Tailwind desktop client (macOS / Windows / Linux).

Prerequisites

  • Node 22+, pnpm 9+
  • Rust + Cargo (install via https://rustup.rs)
  • Platform build deps:
    • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
    • Linux: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, build-essential, libssl-dev (Debian/Ubuntu)
    • Windows: Microsoft C++ Build Tools + WebView2

Dev

# from repo root
pnpm install
pnpm desktop:dev      # tauri dev — launches Vite + native window
pnpm desktop:build    # production bundle per platform

Layout

  • src/ — React app (Vite bundles into dist/).
  • src-tauri/ — Rust backend. main.rs wires Tauri plugins.
  • vite.config.ts — port 1420, HMR on 1421, aliases to shared packages.

Secure Storage

Session tokens + user private keys live in Stronghold (tauri-plugin-stronghold). Local message history lives in SQLite (tauri-plugin-sql), DB file encrypted at rest.
