Quick Start

Requirements

• Rust (stable)
• Node.js 20+
• pnpm

Install

pnpm run ui:install

Run UI only

pnpm run ui:dev

Run Tauri app

pnpm run tauri:dev

Quality Checks

pnpm run check:all

This runs:

• pnpm run ui:check
• pnpm run ui:test
• pnpm run ui:e2e
• pnpm run tauri:check

For large-history UI performance checks:

pnpm run ui:e2e:perf

GitHub OAuth

1. Create a GitHub OAuth App for device flow.
