All notable changes to ɳChat will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

• Tauri 2 desktop shell — full migration (S12): The nChat desktop application is now built with Tauri 2, replacing the Electron shell. Workspace package @nself-chat/desktop at nchat/desktop/. Rust shell in src-tauri/ with EIE command layout (commands/, state/, capabilities/).
  • 19 IPC channels available via invoke() — verified by pnpm ipc-parity script.
  • Native system tray on macOS and Windows with Show, New Conversation, Preferences, and Quit actions.
  • Deep-link scheme nchat:// — supports nchat://chat/<room> and nchat://invite/<token>.
  • Window state persistence (size, position, maximized, fullscreen) via tauri-plugin-window-state.
  • Auto-updater endpoint at https://packages.nself.org/chat-desktop/latest-{{target}}-{{arch}}.json with semver downgrade guard.
  • macOS dock badge count via app_set_badge_count IPC command.
  • Optional Sentry crash reporting — set SENTRY_DSN env var; no-op if unset.
  • macOS: close hides window to tray (Cmd+Q to quit). Windows/Linux: close exits the app.
• Per-platform CI workflows (S12):
  • desktop-macos.yml — arm64 (macos-14) and x64 (macos-13) matrix; bundle size gate enforces ≤ 90 MB DMG on arm64.
  • desktop-linux.yml — Ubuntu 22.04 with libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev; Wayland compositor fix (WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1).
  • desktop-windows.yml — EV code-signing via SSLcom/[email protected]; conditional on SSL_COM_USERNAME org secret.
  • All three workflows publish updater artifacts to S3 (s3://packages.nself.org/chat-desktop/) on tag push.
• Vitest unit tests for IPC layer (S12): desktop/src/lib/ipc.ts typed wrappers + desktop/src/lib/ipc.test.ts — 4 test suites covering app info, window controls, notifications, and update check.
• Playwright E2E tests for desktop (S12): desktop/tests/e2e/ — launch, IPC round-trip, and window control specs driven by tauri-driver.
• IPC parity check script (S12): pnpm ipc-parity in desktop/ — parses lib.rs handler registration and verifies all 19 expected channels are present. Exits non-zero on any missing channel.
• Windows desktop EV code-signing (S20): desktop-windows.yml added — builds Tauri desktop MSI on Windows runner and wires SSLcom/[email protected] for EV Organization Validation code-signing. Signing is conditional on SSL_COM_USERNAME org secret being set; CI stays green when secrets absent. Once secrets are provisioned, release MSIs will pass SmartScreen without "Unknown Publisher" warnings.

---

• @nself-chat/testing package (packages/testing/): stub package with empty exports — testing utilities added in S05+.
• packages/core/src/logger/: stub logger (debug, info, warn, error) exported from @nself-chat/core.
• packages/ui/src/styles.css: stub CSS entry point for UI package global styles.
• tsconfig.json at monorepo root: shared base TypeScript compiler options extended by all platform tsconfigs.

• Mobile and desktop tsconfigs now correctly resolve @nself-chat/* paths to ../../../packages/*/src (corrected from ../../packages/*/src).
• Mobile vite.config aliases corrected to three-level relative paths matching actual filesystem layout.
• frontend/platforms/mobile/tsconfig.json now excludes __tests__/** from the production type-check pass.
• Capacitor addListener() return type is Promise<PluginListenerHandle> — all 6 listener cleanup paths in notifications, fcm, and network adapters now resolve the promise before calling .remove().
• BrowserWindow.fromWebContents(event.sender) replaces deprecated event.sender.getOwnerBrowserWindow() in desktop ipc-handlers (4 call sites).
• ApolloProvider in App.tsx now receives a client prop (stub client from createApolloClient).
• Removed unused React import from 5 mobile source files (React 19 JSX transform).
• Desktop vite.config rollupOptions.external prevents Electron/Node.js modules from being bundled into the browser renderer.
