A plugin's <profile>.meta.json targets (web, mobile, desktop, widget; absent = web)
now decide where it is built. internal/plugin-targets.mjs is the one reading.
desktop:build builds a desktop plugin into .desktop/<plugin>/ with a page that
names its engine, builds its backend as a Tauri sidecar for this machine, and runs
tauri build with a --config override; tauri.conf.json and public/ are untouched.
The shell starts the bundled rudder-engine (RUDDER_AUDIO=browser, RUDDER_HOME in the
app data folder) and stops it on exit. A plugin whose targets leave out web
(Rudder: desktop + widget) is no longer built for the web tree: run-parallel,
generate-tree and check-composite-freshness skip it, and its public/ folder is
removed; the dev server still gives the Studio its corner. check:targets
(gates:pre, with a self-test of five planted violations) validates the values,
widget corners and backend folders and fails if a non-web plugin reaches the built
tree. Measured: desktop:build rudder-voice on Linux produced Rudder_0.1.0_amd64.deb
(8.8 MB) with the app and the engine side by side; the app has not been launched.
Driver 2026-09-21: 'a folder called deployment which will store the capacitor
folder, wordpress folder and tauri folder', and 'a folder called documentation
to store the contributing folder so docs are in one place'.
docs/ + contributing/ + CONTRIBUTING.md -> documentation/ (three doc homes into
one). capacitor/ + wordpress/ + src-tauri/ -> deployment/.
The public/ -> dist/ rename the Driver asked about is NOT here: after seeing the
measured blast radius (855 tracked files, 54 source refs, and public/ is the
served web-root four consumers point at) the Driver withdrew it - 'keep the
public folder the same'.
Path references were rewritten mechanically (258 across 87 files), but three
classes needed hand fixes because a prefix regex cannot see them:
- join(ROOT,'docs',...) in 10 internal scripts - a quoted SEGMENT, not a prefix
- tauri frontendDist '../public' -> '../../public', since src-tauri is now one
level deeper; check:tauri caught this exactly as the card predicted
- the WordPress contract test's dirname(__DIR__,2) -> 3, same reason
Also reverted one over-reach: the rewrite renamed a FINDING-CATEGORY label
'docs' in public-hygiene-check.mjs, which is a rule name in its own header, not
a path.
Verified: full build ALL GUARDS PASS, SRI consistent; check:tauri, check:mobile
(cap sync + webDir OK), check:wp-embed, quoted-scripts, capability-citations,
capability-exemplars, library-index, public-hygiene, parse and drop all pass.
