Two fixes required to repackage the macOS app after the split-grid frontend landed:
- The bundled node_modules is copied from desktop/node_modules, which only mirrored
4 of the 6 server runtime deps. google-auth-library (imported at server startup by
dist/push/fcm.js) and qrcode were missing, so the embedded server crashed on launch
("Cannot find package 'google-auth-library'"). Added both to desktop/package.json so
they're installed + bundled. (The old build predated the FCM code, hiding this.)
- electron-builder died with "ENOENT .bin/asar": node_modules/.bin holds dev-tool
symlinks (asar/tsc/esbuild) into packages the filter excludes, leaving dangling
symlinks in the bundle that electron-builder stat()s. Excluded .bin/** from the copy
(runtime deps load by path, not via .bin).
Verified: dist:mac builds clean (signed, DMG), installed to /Applications, embedded
server serves :3000 (HTTP 200) and the split-grid frontend loads.

# PACKAGING MODEL — server + its node_modules on disk (extraResources), NOT in asar:
|
|
# The embedded server (src/server.ts) is ESM, resolves the frontend via
|
|
# path.join(__dirname,'..','public'), and imports express/ws/web-push/node-pty.
|
|
# embedded-server.ts loads it from process.resourcesPath when packaged. So we ship,
|
|
# as real files under Contents/Resources (siblings): dist/ + public/ + node_modules/.
|
|
# The server then resolves `require('express')` etc. via a plain Node walk-up to
|
|
# Resources/node_modules — no asar, no ESM-from-asar, no native-module-in-asar issues.
|
|
# (An earlier build shipped only node-pty and "worked" in-place only because it borrowed
|
|
# the repo's node_modules up the tree; from /Applications that failed with
|
|
# "Cannot find package 'express'". This ships the full runtime dep tree.)
|
|
#
|
|
# node_modules is filtered to drop build-only tooling (electron/electron-builder/esbuild/
|
|
# typescript + their heavy binaries) — never the server's runtime deps or their transitives.
|
|
# node-pty is rebuilt for the Electron ABI (npmRebuild) before the copy.
|
|
#
|
|
# App icon: auto-generated from resources/icon.png. Tray icon: shipped in-asar under assets/.
|
|
# NOTE: Windows packaging needs a Windows machine (no wine here).
