+# colibrì desktop
+
+Tauri v2 shell for the shared React interface in `../web`.
+
+This directory intentionally contains no second frontend. During development,
+Tauri starts the Vite server from `web/`; release builds package `web/dist`.
+
+## Development
+
+The shared web UI landed in PR #23 and is already part of `main`. From the
+repository root, install its dependencies and start the desktop shell:
+
+```sh
+cd web
+npm ci
+cd ../desktop
+cargo install tauri-cli --version "^2.0.0" --locked
+cargo tauri dev
+```
+
+The application connects to an OpenAI-compatible server configured in the UI.
+Bundling the inference engine or managing its process is intentionally deferred:
+the model is hundreds of gigabytes and must remain an external, user-selected
+resource rather than an opaque application sidecar.
+
+This first desktop increment only packages the existing UI in a native window.
+It does not change the web application, start the inference engine, download
+models, or add native filesystem and process permissions.
+
+## Validation
+
+```sh
+cargo fmt --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml --check
+cargo check --manifest-path src-tauri/Cargo.toml
+```
