byGalax 9b764053c4 feat(crypto): explicit device-approval flow + dev userData isolation
Disable the previous auto-share of conversation keys to newly-registered
devices: a stolen password / new device registered by an attacker no
longer automatically grants history access. Backup-Restore (which
restores the old device-id) still opens existing wraps as before.

Phase 1 of the approval replacement:
- New `lib/deviceApproval.ts`: realtime listener for `devices` INSERT,
  surfaces a pending list, persists approve/deny decisions in
  `chatapp.approvedDeviceIds` / `chatapp.dismissedDeviceIds`. Filters the
  initial fetch by created_at > own-device's created_at so a freshly
  installed client doesn't try to "approve" pre-existing devices.
- New `components/DeviceApprovalBanner.tsx`: bottom-right Discord-style
  banner per pending request with Genehmigen / Ablehnen actions; reuses
  `wrapForOneDevice` from conversationKeySync to fan out conv-keys.
- AppShell mounts both the listener and the banner.

Plus dev userData isolation in main.ts: when running unpackaged, append
`-Dev` to the userData path so `pnpm dev` runs side-by-side with the
installed packaged build instead of colliding on the single-instance
lock. Window title also distinguished as "ChatApp (Dev)".

@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.
