Feat/migrate to electron

[AlphaEcho11]

Testing Electron (Rust) build

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Desktop app now runs via Electron with a secure bridge for blocking/streaming requests and sidecar control.
  • Chat streaming and non-streaming requests are proxied through the desktop app; clearer errors when API key is missing.

• Documentation

  • Added a comprehensive local deployment guide with configuration, build, and platform-specific output details.

• Refactor

  • Migrated from Tauri to Electron; removed splash screen and system tray behavior.

• Chores

  • Updated dev/build scripts to separate web and desktop workflows; added Rust/N-API build step.
  • Expanded .gitignore to exclude Rust artifacts.

Walkthrough

Replaces Tauri with an Electron + Rust (N-API) architecture. Adds a Rust native module for HTTP proxying and sidecar management, wires Electron main/preload IPC to it, and updates frontend chat flows to use IPC proxies. Introduces deployment docs, updates package scripts/tooling, adds ignore rules, and removes all Tauri config/code.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary of Changes
Electron bootstrap & IPC electron/main.ts, electron/main.js, electron/preload.ts, electron/preload.js	New Electron main and preload implementing secure window creation and IPC bridges for blocking/streaming proxy requests and sidecar start/stop, forwarding events to renderer.
Rust N-API library rust-lib/Cargo.toml, rust-lib/src/lib.rs, rust-lib/index.js, rust-lib/index.d.ts, rust-lib/package.json	New Rust cdylib exposing proxy_request_blocking/streaming and sidecar start/stop via N-API; Node loader selects platform binary; TypeScript typings added; crate manifest introduced.
App scripts & tooling package.json	Switch to Electron build/dev workflow; add Electron, electron-builder, concurrently, wait-on, @napi-rs/cli; add rust build hooks; remove Tauri scripts; set main and homepage.
Tauri removal src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, src-tauri/src/main.rs, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src-tauri/build.rs, src-tauri/info.plist, src-tauri/Release.entitlements, src-tauri/.gitignore	Remove Tauri app, config, build scripts, entitlements, and related ignores.
Frontend: Chat proxy integration src/features/chat/openAiChat.ts	Refactor to use window.electronAPI for streaming/non-streaming requests to v1/chat/completions; add parsers and stricter API key handling; update function signature.
Frontend: VRM viewer src/components/vrmViewer.tsx	Remove Tauri splashscreen invoke and related import; VRM logic unchanged.
Deployment docs DEPLOYMENT.md	New local deployment guide for Electron + Rust + text-generation-webui configuration and build/run steps.
Root ignore .gitignore	Add Rust ignore entries for rust-lib outputs and lockfiles.
Formatting src/pages/_app.tsx	Whitespace-only formatting change.

Poem

A rabbit taps the Electron key,
Rust hums softly, streaming free.
Tauri bows, exits stage left—
IPC bridges do the heft.
Sidecars purr, proxies sing,
Build and hop—ship the thing!

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
