stage-menubar.mjs is stage-cli.mjs for the Tauri tray app: it copies rather than
downloads, taking the local `cargo tauri build` output by default and whatever
CI fetched with --from. The two routes need different things staged, so it has
two shapes. The NSIS build gets the .msi and its .sha256, computing the digest
when a local build has none, so the installer's verification means the same
thing there as it does for a release. The Store build gets the executable, since
a packaged app cannot run msiexec at all.
build/menubar rides into both packages as win.extraResources. Unlike the CLI it
carries no node_modules, so electron-builder's production-dependency filter has
nothing to strip and the afterPack hook is not needed.
installer.nsh removes the tray app on uninstall only when the marker credits
this app with installing it, which is what keeps a manual `codeburn menubar`
install alive through a desktop uninstall. PowerShell reads the marker and pulls
the product code out of the uninstall string, because NSIS has no JSON and the
alternative was hand-parsing one in a macro.
appx-extensions.xml declares the tray app's launch at login as the package's own
windows.startupTask, so it appears in Settings > Apps > Startup like anything
else the Store installed. No Run value is written on that route.
The packaged app resolved whatever codeburn was on PATH — for real
users the published npm release, which predates every JSON surface the
app calls. The app now ships its own CLI copy under resources/cli
(staged production node_modules tree; tsup output is not
self-contained) and spawns it with Electron's own binary via
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE. No install prerequisite remains.
- resolution order: CODEBURN_BIN, dev repo CLI, bundled, persisted
path, PATH search
- launch.js shim strips the extra argv element commander mis-slices
under packaged Electron-as-node (process.versions.electron is set),
which reproduced the 'too many arguments' class of error
- afterPack hook copies the staged tree (extraResources runs
node_modules through the production-dep filter and ships it empty);
lands before signing, signature verified intact
- packaging always restages from src via root build:cli (tsup only,
no network); ~12MB compressed per artifact
Verified on the built app: Electron-as-node CLI emits current JSON
(providerDetails, currency), and a minimal-PATH GUI launch spawns the
bundled CLI with zero external dependencies. 290/290.
electron-builder config with ad-hoc signing (identity "-", not null,
which skips signing and breaks Apple Silicon), dmg+zip for arm64 and
x64, org.agentseal.codeburn-desktop bundle id matching the menubar
convention, icon reused from build/icon.png. DISTRIBUTION.md documents
the build, verification, the Gatekeeper first-open steps for
unnotarized builds, and the later paid-notarization upgrade path.
