OpenLess All-Platform

This directory contains the cross-platform OpenLess application and design handoff material. Start with the repository documentation index, architecture, and source structure.

App Directory

The runnable sources live in app/:

• app/crates/openless-core: framework-independent shared backend Interface and business rules;
• app/src: React frontend for the Tauri hosts;
• app/src-tauri: macOS, Windows, and Android Tauri Host and native adapters;
• app/linux-egui: Linux Host and egui/eframe UI; it does not depend on Tauri or WebKitGTK.

The Tauri manifest includes local ASR path dependencies under app/src-tauri/vendor/; initialize submodules before resolving it, including for non-macOS source builds. The root Core/Linux workspace excludes src-tauri, so its independent checks do not require those submodules.

# Tauri source development — pull in vendored submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive

cd app
npm ci
npm run tauri dev

Shared backend and Linux host

This repository supplies the shared typed Rust interface, semantic events, fixtures, and Linux adapters. linux-egui/src/main.rs now implements an egui/eframe application, with LinuxHost and LinuxBackendBuilder connecting it to Core. Remaining Host/UI work and product acceptance are tracked in the Linux handoff.

cd app
cargo test -p openless-core --locked
cargo test -p openless-linux-egui --all-targets --locked
pwsh ./scripts/check-core-deps.ps1
pwsh ./scripts/check-core-deps.ps1 openless-linux-egui

The independent Linux package workflow builds deb/rpm/AppImage and the fcitx5 plugin without WebKitGTK. It supports manual and reusable-workflow invocation; automatic tag triggering remains gated on real Ubuntu runtime, input, installation, upgrade, and rollback evidence.

macOS Build

Use the project build script instead of calling tauri build directly:

cd app
INSTALL=0 ./scripts/build-mac.sh

Generated macOS artifacts:

• app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/macos/OpenLess.app
• app/src-tauri/target/release/bundle/dmg/OpenLess_<version>_aarch64.dmg

For local install during development:

cd app
./scripts/build-mac.sh

Windows Build

The runnable Tauri app is still app/. Windows contributors should run a preflight before building so missing MSVC, Windows SDK, or MinGW tools fail with actionable messages.

cd app
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\windows-preflight.ps1

MSVC Route

Use this route when Visual Studio Build Tools and the Windows SDK are installed. Open a Developer PowerShell, or call vcvars64.bat, then run:

cd app
npm ci
npm run tauri -- build

Required Visual Studio Installer components:

• Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools
• MSVC v143 x64/x86 build tools
• Windows 10/11 SDK that provides kernel32.lib

If link.exe or kernel32.lib is missing, rerun:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\windows-preflight.ps1 -Toolchain msvc

GNU / MinGW Route

Use this route when MSVC/Windows SDK is unavailable. The app now lives under the no-space openless-all directory to avoid GNU/MinGW path quoting issues while generating import libraries. Use the helper script to keep the GNU build environment and target setup consistent.

cd app
scoop install rustup mingw
rustup toolchain install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\windows-preflight.ps1 -Toolchain gnu
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\windows-build-gnu.ps1

Generated GNU artifacts:

• %TEMP%\openless-windows-gnu\src-tauri\target\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\release\openless.exe
• %TEMP%\openless-windows-gnu\src-tauri\target\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\release\bundle\msi\OpenLess_*_x64_en-US.msi
• %TEMP%\openless-windows-gnu\src-tauri\target\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\release\bundle\nsis\OpenLess_*_x64-setup.exe

Hotkey Injection Gate

Use this gate before/after Windows hotkey changes when a physical keyboard regression is unavailable. It injects a dev/test-only hotkey click through the coordinator handle_pressed / handle_released path, asserts the log contains [coord] hotkey pressed, and cancels the dry-run session automatically.

cd app
npm run check:hotkey-injection

Windows Runtime Notes

• Windows does not need the macOS Accessibility permission. Use Settings -> Permissions -> Global hotkey to inspect listener status.
• Microphone permission is checked by opening a short-lived input stream, so a device-format query alone is not treated as permission granted.
• Text insertion through Ctrl+V is treated as copy fallback unless the app can confirm insertion.

Release Signing

Tagged Tauri releases (v*-tauri) must be Developer ID signed and notarized so users can download and open the macOS app without manually removing quarantine attributes. Linux packages use the separate manual egui workflow and an independent minisign secret.

Required GitHub secrets:

• APPLE_CERTIFICATE
• APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD
• APPLE_ID
• APPLE_PASSWORD
• APPLE_TEAM_ID

Optional:

• APPLE_PROVIDER_SHORT_NAME
• KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD

Manual workflow runs can still produce ad-hoc signed test builds, but tagged macOS releases fail if signing/notarization secrets are missing.

Ignored Local Output

The following are intentionally local-only:

• app/node_modules/
• app/dist/
• app/target/
• app/src-tauri/target/
• app/src-tauri/gen/
• .DS_Store
