tauri-plugin-updater resolves the download target as {os}-{arch}-{installer}
first (linux-x86_64-deb — the bundler stamps the installer type into the
binary, verified with `strings` on a local .deb) and only then bare
linux-x86_64. Our manifest carried only the bare key, pointing at the
AppImage. A .deb install therefore downloaded the AppImage, verified its
signature, then failed install_deb()'s is_deb check with
InvalidUpdaterFormat — after the download, before any relaunch. This, not
version drift or swallowed errors, is why v0.1.0→v0.1.6 never self-updated.
latest.json now carries linux-x86_64-deb, linux-x86_64-rpm (when built) and
linux-x86_64 (AppImage), each with its own .sig. A .deb update ends in a
polkit password prompt (pkexec dpkg -i) — the intended admin gate on a
root-installed package. README + wiki updated; wiki also records the v0.1.6
LIVE field verification.

The v0.1.4 Origin fix cleared only the first of two gates in /api/ws's
preHandler. The second, req.jwtVerify(), reads the HttpOnly cookie — which
tauri-plugin-websocket (a bare tungstenite client, no cookie jar) can never
send. Every desktop handshake 401'd and use-live-feed reconnected every 10s
(confirmed in the park-2 server log).
- routes/ws.ts: POST /api/ws/ticket (cookie + CSRF auth) mints a 30s,
single-use, in-memory ticket; the WS preHandler accepts it via an
x-ws-ticket header after the Origin check, then the same report:read
role check. Browser cookie path unchanged; JWT stays out of JS.
- platform-ws.ts: fetch a ticket before connect, send it with the Origin
header; connect failures now go through logClient (rate-limited).
- logger.ts: flush read the CSRF token from document.cookie, null on
desktop, so every desktop POST /api/logs 403'd and was dropped silently —
no desktop client log had ever reached app_logs. Stash moved to a
dependency-free lib/desktop-csrf.ts shared by api.ts and logger.ts.
- backend-config.ts: ConnectScreen probe uses the unauthenticated /health
(now also returns app: "parking-system") instead of accepting any 401.
- README: local-AppImage release gate — tauri dev runs at
http://localhost:5173, not tauri://localhost, so none of these
origin-dependent bugs reproduce there.
- wiki: new section + log entry; four citation corrections.
Requires the server image with this commit deployed before the new desktop
build connects (the ticket endpoint must exist).

The updater endpoint pointed at mca/parking_solution's own Gitea "latest
release" redirect, but that repo is private and field appliances have no
Gitea credentials — every update check was silently failing. release.yml
now mirrors signed installers to mca/public_releases (public, installers
only) under a fixed desktop-latest tag; tauri.conf.json points there.
Rejected embedding a read token in the app instead, given the booth-operator
threat model.
Also: make the appliance-provisioning root_directory gotcha impossible to
skim past (boxed callout + explicit next-step pointers), after it caused a
second missed step on the park-2 install.
Add apps/desktop, a thin Tauri v2 shell wrapping the SAME @parking/web SPA so
the desktop and browser UIs never drift: dev loads the Vite dev server (HMR),
prod bundles the web app's dist/. No business logic in the shell (device/auth/
ledger stay in @parking/server); deny-by-default capabilities.
apps/web (single UI source of truth):
- lib/origin.ts: centralize the backend origin (API_BASE/apiUrl/wsUrl from
VITE_API_BASE); no-op in the browser, lets the desktop build target Fastify.
- lib/kiosk.ts: block the right-click context menu in PROD only (dev keeps it +
devtools).
- lib/desktop-updater.ts: prompt-on-update auto-update (no-op in browser/offline)
→ downloadAndInstall + relaunch; i18n update.* keys (sq+en).
- .env.production: VITE_API_BASE wired to the Fastify origin for the bundle.
Desktop:
- window starts maximized (not fullscreen — operator keeps OS access).
- auto-update via tauri-plugin-updater + -process; self-hosted endpoint is a
PLACEHOLDER to fill in. Updater keypair: pubkey embedded in tauri.conf.json;
private key + password kept OUTSIDE the repo (~/.parking-updater-keys) and as
TAURI_SIGNING_* build secrets.
- Turbo build is a no-op; the real signed bundle is `pnpm --filter
@parking/desktop bundle` (verified → .deb/.rpm/.AppImage + .sig signatures).
Verified: cargo check clean; turbo run build lint 14/14 green; i18n parity holds;
no key/sig/bundle artifacts in the repo.
Wiki (security + desktop analysis recorded alongside):
- new concepts/tpm.md (TPM 2.0: how it works, sealed-LUKS auto-unlock + non-
extractable signing key, limits — live-root, bus-sniff — TPM-vs-ATECC608 by
platform).
- new decisions/desktop-shell-tauri.md (Tauri v2 over Electron; best-case Ubuntu
26.04 LTS, worst-case Windows+WSL → kiosk browser; full as-built).
- pull-the-disk attack trace on append-only-event-chain; ATECC608 not-in-a-PC
caveat; cross-links from disk-os-hardening / threat-model.
- open-questions #11 (appliance WebKitGTK), #12 (TPM hardening impl), #13
(startup verifyChain self-check); index/overview/log/standing-decisions.
