julian d0536da3d7 feat(desktop): Tauri v2 kiosk shell — maximized window, prod right-click block, auto-update + code-signing
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.

# Parking System — Overview
The synthesis / entry point for this wiki. Start here, then follow links. Catalog of every page:
[[index]]. Source summaries: [[parking-system-architecture]].
## What it is
A **parking-management web application** running on a **dedicated, hardened Linux appliance**
deployed on-site at a parking facility. Two forces shape nearly every decision:
1. **[[offline-first]]** — a park may be air-gapped; nothing core may depend on a network.
2. **[[threat-model]]** — the primary adversary is the **legitimate operator at the booth**, not
an outsider. The classic fraud is *take the cash, delete the record.*
## The architecture in one pass
- **Stack** ([[technology-stack]] / [[standing-decisions]]): [[turborepo]] · [[fastify]] ·
[[react-vite-spa]] · [[sqlite]] + [[drizzle-orm]] · [[local-jwt-auth]] — all open-licensed to
avoid lock-in (cf. rejected [[payload-cms]], [[refine]], [[logto-zitadel-oidc]]). The operator UI
ships as a thin **[[desktop-shell-tauri|Tauri v2]]** kiosk shell (chosen over Electron).
- **Integrity** is the heart of it: an [[append-only-event-chain]] (hash-chained, [[atecc608]]-
signed) plus external [[reconciliation]] — *that's* what remote sync really is. Encryption at
rest ([[disk-os-hardening]]) defends a secondary threat.
- **Devices** sit behind a [[device-adapter-pattern]] (swap hardware → new adapter only), with
the [[barrier-not-a-door]] safety principle keeping physical safety in barrier-operator firmware.
- **Access control** today is the **[[dingtian-relay]]** relay+input controller behind
[[network-isolation]] — chosen because its inputs are **decoupled from its relays**, enabling
host-in-the-loop ticket-first entry (resolving [[access-controller-button-flow]]). The
[[uhppote-controller]] and [[zkteco-controller]] were evaluated and **rejected** (historical).
The deeper fork is still the [[trust-boundary]] ([[uhppote-vs-esp32|detection vs. prevention]]);
the [[esp32-custom-controller]] remains the prevention-grade alternative.
- **Readers** split two ways ([[entry-exit-readers]]): permit holders via [[wiegand]]
(autonomous), casual/transient via host-side [[lpr-camera]] / QR; both can share a relay.
- A reference [[bom]] lists recommended devices.
## Where it stands
6 [[open-questions]] still drive procurement — most critically **lane topology**, **failure
modes (fail-open on exit)**, the **reconciliation channel**, and **backup/durability**.
## Reading paths
- *Security-first:* [[threat-model]] → [[append-only-event-chain]] → [[reconciliation]] →
[[uhppote-vs-esp32]].
- *Hardware-first:* [[bom]] → [[dingtian-relay]] → [[access-controller-button-flow]] →
[[entry-exit-readers]].
- *Stack-first:* [[technology-stack]] → [[offline-first]] → [[device-adapter-pattern]].
