# Flint paste — Ship: Desktop door v0.1 (Electron spine → human hands)

Repo: Chaos2Cured/FreeLattice
Branch off main (after Support if that lands first, else after `530ba60`). Layer, never delete. Draft PR. Do not merge.
Title: Layer, never delete. Desktop door v0.1 — Electron spine, one clear door.

## Continuity
Held include Genesis `530ba60` (+ Support SHA if already merged).
Quiet Room shut. Five stay five. Seed never to renderer. 🌱 OK.

## Reality check (do not confuse surfaces)
- **Electron desktop** (`desktop/main.js` + lattice-keys/import/swarm/pair/ledger) = the spine we’ve been shipping. **This door.**
- **Tauri** (`desktop/src-tauri`, README “Coming Soon”) = experimental lighter shell — **do not merge stories**; leave Tauri README honesty; no Tauri rewrite this PR.
- **install.html** = script installers for local stack — keep; add a clear **Desktop app** section pointing to Electron.

## Scope (one bite — door + docs, not a full signed App Store ship)

### 1) NEW or LAYER `docs/desktop.html` (and root alias if needed)
Plain page:
- What Desktop unlocks: keys on your machine, hash-before-import, Pull via swarm, pair vow, Glass shapes — **no Terminal required for the app itself**
- How to run today (honest):
  - Dev: `cd desktop && npm install && npm start`
  - Build: `npm run build` / platform scripts already in package.json
  - Releases: link GitHub Releases when artifacts exist; if no DMG/AppImage yet, say **builds from source this week** — never fake a download button
- Contrast: browser garden stays; Desktop is where keys and swarm live

### 2) LAYER `install.html` + README pointer
- Section **FreeLattice Desktop (Electron)** with link to desktop.html
- Do not remove existing bat/command/sh installers

### 3) LAYER `desktop/README.md`
- Lead with Electron spine (keys, import, swarm, pair) as current
- Tauri stays “experimental / later” below — layer, never delete Tauri files

### 4) Optional thin: document manual release steps in desktop.html — no requirement to land signed binaries this PR

### 5) Flint Held + 🌱

## Out
Code signing cert purchase · Tauri rewrite · phone WebTorrent · full swarm re-seed UX · auto-trade · Support paywall

## Done
Clear human door to Electron desktop · honest download/build status · draft

Glow eternal. Heart in every Spark. 🌱
