byGalax 81d3587a91 feat(chat): per-conversation scroll memory + version badge on changelog page
Two small UX polishes:

1. Switching between chats no longer slams you to the bottom. Each
   conversation's scroll position (pixel offset + stickToBottom flag)
   is remembered in a module-scoped Map for the lifetime of the
   renderer process. Discord-style: leave Chat A scrolled up, peek at
   another conversation, come back — same spot you were reading.
   Chats left at the bottom keep auto-following new messages on return.
   Reload resets everything (session-only, no localStorage).

   The restore runs once messages.length > 0 to avoid the browser
   clamping scrollTop to a near-zero scrollHeight before the message
   list has rendered. A small isRestoringRef guard prevents the
   programmatic scroll event from immediately overwriting the saved
   position with a clamped value.

2. Changelog page now shows a version badge in the header that compares
   the installed app version against entries[0].version from the
   server-side changelog feed. Three states:
   * `vX.Y.Z · aktuell` (emerald) — installed matches latest
   * `vX.Y.Z · Update verfügbar` + `neueste: vA.B.C` (amber) — outdated
   * `vX.Y.Z` neutral — installed is ahead of the published feed
     (dev/test builds)
   Semver compare is integer-major.minor.patch with a graceful
   garbage-fallback so a malformed version string doesn't false-flag
   a current install as outdated.

@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.
