Multi-Platform Build

Three platforms; seven installer/bundle artifacts.

Linux

sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libsoup-3.0-dev libgtk-3-dev
cd apps/desktop
cargo tauri build --features gui --bundles deb,rpm,appimage

macOS

export CI=true  # skips the AppleScript Finder styling that needs a GUI session
cd apps/desktop
cargo tauri build --features gui --bundles app,dmg
# app target = updater artifact (.app.tar.gz + .sig)
# dmg target = user-facing installer

Windows

cd apps/desktop
cargo tauri build --features gui --bundles msi,nsis

Binary layout

apps/desktop/Cargo.toml declares a single binary — [[bin]] name = "vigils" path = "src/bin/vigils.rs" — aligned with the Tauri v2 bundle default (the bin name matches the path basename and mainBinaryName). The installed executable is vigils / vigils.exe (since v0.1.5; earlier builds shipped gui).
