thandClaude Opus 4.6 1966f8f4c0 sync-event toasts, image pull ordering, stale banner field diff
- replace chat-bot sync notifications with a dedicated relay_sync_events
  queue: POST/GET /api/sync-events, drained by /api/relay/poll and
  surfaced as stacking toasts via caldav.js. Old /api/chat/bot removed,
  bot=1 rows purged on bootstrap, orange bot rendering dropped from
  relay UI. Chat thread stays clean.
- collab pull: fetch attachments BEFORE applying the body so the moment
  state.cards reflects the new reference the file is on disk. Fixes the
  "preview shows broken/missing image, editor shows it" race where the
  browser cached the 404 between attachment landing and user re-render.
- detail stale banner now compares title/body/color/tags in addition to
  updated_at — robust against second-granularity timestamp collisions
  and any other case where updated_at doesn't tick but content differs.

hyprcrd — Electron Desktop App

Wraps the PHP backend in an Electron shell. A static PHP binary is bundled per platform so users don't need PHP installed.

How it works

  1. On launch, the app starts PHP's built-in server on a random port (127.0.0.1)
  2. router.php replaces Apache's .htaccess rewrite rules
  3. A BrowserWindow loads http://127.0.0.1:<port>/
  4. On quit, the PHP process is killed cleanly

User data (database + uploads) is stored outside the app bundle so it survives updates:

  • Dev: electron/appdata/
  • Linux: ~/.config/hyprcrd/data/
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/hyprcrd/data/
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/hyprcrd/data/

Development

cd electron
npm install
npm start          # launches the app using system or bundled PHP

Requires PHP 8.1+ with pdo_sqlite and zip extensions — either on the system PATH or as a static binary in php-bin/<platform>/.

Bundling PHP

Static PHP binaries are not checked into git. Fetch them before building:

./fetch-php.sh     # downloads ~20MB per platform from static-php-cli

Or place them manually (see php-bin/README.md for sources):

php-bin/linux/php
php-bin/darwin/php
php-bin/win32/php.exe

The app prefers the bundled binary. If none is found, it falls back to system PHP. If neither exists, a dialog tells the user what to install.

Building distributables

npm run dist

Uses electron-builder. Output:

Platform Format Location
macOS .dmg dist/
Windows NSIS dist/
Linux AppImage dist/
