thandClaude Opus 4.7 48b5907f4c v2.0.2 — English tag aliases, English-only website, undo-body flaky fix
- tags: accept #birthday and #appointment as English synonyms for
  #geburtstag and #termin. Normalised to the German canonical form at
  extractTags() write-time so every downstream check (parseTags /
  calendar logic / board filters) keeps working without per-call-site
  aliasing. Editor body-regex extended so the "new appointment"
  heuristic and auto-sync trigger on either variant.
- website: replace #termin/#geburtstag with #appointment/#birthday in
  tag chips, calendar feature list, and calendar legend.
- tests: fix flaky "Undo: Editor Save → Ctrl+Z reverts body change"
  that raced doSave(). The test polled the server for the patched body
  and fired Ctrl+Z as soon as it landed, but the undo shortcut is
  guarded by !guards.isOpen('modal'), and closeModal() only runs after
  the post-patch _reloadAll — on fast servers the key was swallowed.
  Poll now also waits for the modal `.open` class to drop.

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/

File structure

  preload.js       Exposes window.hyprcrdElectron (platform, isElectron)
  router.php       PHP built-in server router (replaces .htaccess)
  fetch-php.sh     Downloads static PHP binaries for all platforms
  php-bin/         Platform-specific PHP binaries (gitignored)
