Implements Phase 1 of PROJECT.md - Foundation for native Mac application. Architecture (inspired by VS Code): - Main process: Manages daemon lifecycle and system integration - Daemon process: Node.js backend (spawned as child process) - Renderer process: React UI (served by daemon) - Menu bar tray: Quick access and controls Key Components: - DaemonManager: Spawns/monitors daemon with health checks - TrayManager: Menu bar icon with status and controls - Main process: Electron app lifecycle orchestration Development workflow: 1. Terminal 1: cd apps/agor-daemon && pnpm dev 2. Terminal 2: cd apps/agor-ui && pnpm dev 3. Terminal 3: cd apps/agor-desktop && pnpm dev This wraps the existing daemon + UI code without major rewrites, following the exact same pattern as VS Code and Atom. Next steps (see PROJECT.md): - Phase 2: Packaging & distribution (DMG, code signing) - Phase 3: Auto-updater via GitHub releases - Phase 4: Enhanced features (notifications, deep links) Generated with Claude Code (https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Add "Change UI URL" menu item for connecting to remote Agor instances - macOS-native title bar with traffic lights (hiddenInset style) - Draggable header region like VS Code - Skip local daemon startup when custom URL is configured - Graceful error handling when daemon unavailable in packaged mode - Fix pnpm compatibility for Electron Forge packaging - Add app icon for dock and DMG - Remove electron-squirrel-startup (Windows-only) - Simplify forge config for macOS-only distribution
- Start local daemon only for localhost/local IP URLs - Skip daemon startup for remote URLs (e.g., https://agor.preset.io) - Daemon manager detects if already running before spawning
