Closes #918. The renderer's keydown handler required event.metaKey and explicitly rejected event.ctrlKey, so every shortcut was dead outside macOS: on Windows and Linux metaKey is the Super key, which the OS shell takes. Navigation (1-8), Settings (,) and Refresh (R) all did nothing. The sidebar and footer hints also hardcoded the Cmd glyph, so a Windows user was shown chords that could not fire. Add app/renderer/lib/platform.ts as the single source of truth for platform-aware shortcuts, reading the platform the preload already exposes (window.codeburn.platform) with a user-agent fallback for the non-Electron cases. isModifierChord accepts Cmd-without-Ctrl on darwin and Ctrl-without-Cmd elsewhere; altKey stays rejected on both, because AltGr on European Windows layouts arrives as Ctrl+Alt and must not hijack a typed character. Every visible shortcut label now resolves through shortcutLabel() at render time, so the sidebar shows Ctrl+1 where macOS shows the Cmd glyph. The mac chord condition is unchanged: the old guard admitted metaKey && !altKey && !ctrlKey && !shiftKey, and the new one admits exactly the same set on darwin. The Electron application menu is deliberately left alone. It ships no reload/forceReload role and no CmdOrCtrl+R accelerator, which is what leaves Ctrl+R free for the renderer to handle on Windows. Also corrects the Settings navigation hint, which read 1-7 while the sidebar has eight numbered destinations. Tests cover both platforms for labels and dispatch, including the negatives: Meta on win32, Ctrl on darwin, and the Ctrl+Alt AltGr shape. |

CodeBurn Desktop
Electron desktop shell for CodeBurn's local-first usage views. M1 runs as a developer app and reads data by spawning the installed codeburn CLI; it does not run a daemon or HTTP server.
Development
npm --prefix app install
npm --prefix app run dev
Validation:
npm --prefix app run test
npm --prefix app run typecheck
CLI Dependency
Packaged builds ship their own version-matched copy of the codeburn CLI and require nothing installed — the app spawns the bundled CLI with Electron's own binary as Node (ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE). In development (Vite dev server) the app uses the repo's freshly-built CLI, and either can be overridden with CODEBURN_BIN or a persisted path file. See DISTRIBUTION.md for the bundling and resolution details. Electron resolves and spawns the CLI from the main process, then sends decoded JSON through the secure preload bridge into the renderer.
This follows the menubar pattern:
contextIsolation: true,nodeIntegration: false, andsandbox: true.- Renderer code calls
window.codeburnonly throughapp/renderer/lib/ipc.ts. - Main process handlers return JSON envelopes so structured CLI errors survive IPC.
- Missing CLI, bad JSON, timeout, and nonzero exits are surfaced as honest UI states.
- The renderer never imports CodeBurn engine code from
src/; the data contract is spawn CLI, decode JSON, poll.
Data Contract
Current bridge calls:
- Overview:
codeburn status --format menubar-json --period <period> [--provider <provider>] - Plans:
codeburn status --format json --period <period> - Models:
codeburn models --format json --period <period> [--provider <provider>] [--by-task] - Optimize:
codeburn yield --format json --period <period> - Spend flow:
codeburn spend --format flow-json --period <period> [--provider <provider>] - Devices:
codeburn devices --format json --period <period> - Device scan:
codeburn devices scan --format json - Share status:
codeburn share status --format json - Identity:
codeburn identity --format json
Supported M1 periods are today, week, 30days, month, and all. Provider filtering is passed through where the CLI command supports it.
Sections
- Overview: daily spend, spend stats, waste summary, and expensive sessions from
menubar-json. - Spend: project/activity/tool/MCP/subagent lenses plus model-to-project flow.
- Optimize: waste findings from
menubar-jsonand reverted/abandoned yield data. - Models: model and task tables from
models --format json. - Plans: plan pacing from
status --format json. - Settings: device identity, nearby scan results, paired-device usage, and M2 visual affordances.
Packaging
npm run package produces an ad-hoc-signed macOS .dmg/.zip (arm64 and x64) via electron-builder, no paid Apple Developer account required. Packaging rebuilds the root CLI and bundles it into the app (Resources/cli), so installs need nothing on the target machine. See DISTRIBUTION.md for build instructions, the bundled-CLI mechanism, artifact locations, and the Gatekeeper first-open story.
M2 Backlog
- Add Electron
autoUpdater(the app already bundles its own version-matched CLI, so end-user installs need nothing on the machine; auto-update is the remaining piece). - Keep npm as a separate CLI-user channel at the same version as the desktop app.
- Add macOS code signing with a paid Developer ID and notarization (ad-hoc packaging exists today; see
DISTRIBUTION.md). - Add a
codeburn desktoplauncher subcommand. - Implement in-app pairing, approve, pull, and visibility mutations currently shown as M2 affordances.
- Build the Models Compare sheet.
- Add light theme support.
- Expand
codeburn optimize --format jsonwith evidence and fix commands so Optimize can show richer actionable fixes.
