Tauri shell documentation (app/src-tauri/)

This folder is the desktop host for OpenHuman: Tauri v2 + WebView, IPC commands, window management, and bridging to the openhuman Rust sidecar (core JSON-RPC). It does not duplicate the full domain stack — that lives in the repo-root Rust crate (openhuman_core, src/bin/openhuman.rs).

Quick reference

Document	Description
Architecture	Modules, core process, sidecar staging
IPC commands	invoke commands registered in lib.rs
Core bridge	core_process, core_rpc, daemon helpers

Responsibilities

1. Web UI — Load the Vite build from app/dist (or dev server on port 1420).
2. IPC — Expose a small, explicit set of Tauri commands (see 02-commands.md).
3. Core lifecycle — Ensure the openhuman binary is running (child process and/or service) and proxy JSON-RPC via core_rpc_relay.
4. AI prompts on disk — Resolve bundled src/openhuman/agent/prompts from resources / dev cwd for ai_get_config / write_ai_config_file.
5. Window + tray — Desktop window behavior and system tray (see lib.rs).

Building the sidecar

app/package.json core:stage runs scripts/stage-core-sidecar.mjs, which cargo build --bin openhuman at the repo root and copies the binary into app/src-tauri/binaries/ for Tauri externalBin.
