mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 6285d93790 Stores can be removed, and added from an address you type
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
Two gaps that were the same gap: the store list could only ever grow, and it could
only grow from what the registry happened to offer.

**Removing** uninstalls what the store installed, then deletes the store itself,
in that order. The order is the whole of it: `state.json` is the only record of
which payloads, icons and menu entries belong to a store, so deleting the home
first would strip the one thing that knows — leaving files nothing could ever
identify, least of all a later install of the same store into the same folder.
The confirmation says how many titles will go, because that is the part nobody
would otherwise expect. The token goes too; a credential for a store that is not
here is a secret kept for nothing.

The window names a *store*, never a path: the home is resolved against what a
disk scan actually found before anything is deleted, and `removeHome` refuses
anything else. That is the only guard between a bad argument and `rm -rf`, so it
has a test.

**Adding** moved to a + beside Refresh — both are actions on the whole store
rather than on one of them, and the full-width button under the list read as a
third store — and the picker now takes a catalog address as well as a listed one.
A bare host is enough and the name comes from the address; nothing else about
installing changes, which is why the typed path hands the same record to the same
method instead of growing a second one. The picker also has a Cancel now: opening
it with a store installed used to replace the grid with no way back.

`make storetest` is new, and it earned itself immediately. Removal is the only
code here that deletes a directory tree, which the smoke test cannot cover — it
runs against the real machine and would have to delete a real store to prove
anything. Two bugs on the first run:

- `http://` was accepted and became a store called *http*. The trailing slashes
  were stripped before the scheme was checked, turning `http://` into `http:` and
  then into `https://http:`, whose hostname parses as "http". The URL is rebuilt
  from the parsed form now, which also settles the trailing slash in one place.
- `STORE_ROOT` only *prepended* to the search path, so a "sandboxed" run still
  listed the real stores — despite the README saying "instead of the real one".
  Harmless while a sandbox could only add; not harmless now that it can delete.
  It replaces the search path.

The self-test needed two changes, both of which are it working: the store row is
a wrapper now, so clicking `.store-row` did nothing at all, and the footer icon
check counted exactly two named controls when there are three.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 3d42355189 The smoke test can be somebody
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
Without a token the signed-in half of a gated catalog is untestable here: the
real credential store is the OS keychain reached through Electron, and there is
no Electron in this process, so every title comes back `signInRequired` and
"owned" and "not owned" never happen.

SMOKE_TOKEN supplies one. Against a live Orbit it now reports
`open:1, purchasable:1, entitled:1` — the free title, the one this account has
not bought, and the one it has — which is the first end-to-end proof that the
access block survives the whole path from the engine's policy to a card.

It only ever reads. A smoke run must not leave a credential on the machine that
ran it.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 26c7aa9be1 A catalog that can say a title is not yours
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
A store with paid titles had nothing to tell this client and no way for it to
listen: the catalog carried no price, no entitlement and no sign-in, so a gated
download could only come back 403 and leave the window guessing why.

The knowledge belongs on the server, not here. This client serves whichever
catalog a registry names, so anything it knew about a particular shop would be
a rule that breaks every other one. WarpEngine 0.5 answers GET /api/service with
what it offers and puts an `access` block on every entry; this reads both. There
is no store name anywhere in the diff.

- **0.5 is a dialect of its own**, the older shape with `access` added. The
  version list is exhaustive over the selector, so adding it was a compile error
  until somebody said what it reads like — which is what that switch is for.
- **A card shows a price and a Buy button** when a title is not yours, opening
  the store's own page. Buying stays in a browser: a checkout rebuilt here would
  be a second place to get card handling wrong.
- **Signing in is the device grant**: a short code, the person's own browser, and
  no password crossing this window. The token goes in the OS keychain through
  safeStorage — one per store — and where no keychain exists it is not stored at
  all rather than written out in the clear.
- **Owned / To buy** join the categories, since owning something is not the same
  as having installed it.

Three things worth stating about the shape:

The bearer token stops at the origin that issued it. A gated download redirects
to signed storage — often somebody else's host — and some object stores refuse a
request outright when an Authorization header arrives alongside the signature.

An absent access block is not "free". It is an engine too old to have an
opinion, and only one of those two is a reason to offer somebody a sign-in, so
the three states are kept apart all the way to the card.

state.json does not carry entitlement. Whether somebody may download a title is
the server's answer to a question asked now; a copy on disk would go stale on the
next purchase or refund, and a stale yes is the dangerous direction.

A store with no sign-in shows none, and every WarpEngine before 0.5 is such a
store: no Account block, no prices, no new categories. The smoke test against the
live catalog reports exactly that — `sign-in: not offered`, `access: open:13`.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 82590d3ec4 A registry record is a name and a catalog
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
`config` — added this morning in 2.1.0 — is gone, and `storeRepositoryUrl` with it, along
with the two store repositories they pointed at.

2.1.0 had the registry say how each store behaves. Wrong shape: how a store behaves is
fixed per installed client, and this application is the only thing that can see the
machine it runs on. A copy of that on a server was a second authority over decisions this
side had already made correctly — including which directories the store may delete from —
and two authorities are a way to disagree.

Keeping two stores on one machine apart needs none of it. It is a subfolder, derived here:
the store id is a slug of the catalog host, the home is `<id>-desktop`, the games folder is
`<id>`, and that folder is the only subtree the store will ever delete from. Derived from
the *catalog* on purpose — the catalog is what a store is, so two records naming the same
one are the same store and land in the same place, which makes installing twice idempotent
instead of a way to orphan what is already there.

Existing installations keep their identity: a store home is recognised by its own
`config.json`, so one installed as `ttg` stays `ttg` in `ttg-desktop` with its games where
they are. Only a new install derives its id.

`StoreProvisioningService` no longer re-reads the registry before installing. That existed
to keep the renderer from supplying a config, and with no config in the record there is
nothing left to protect: a name and a catalog have no paths in them.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 045c7bf5b7 Read a store's config from the registry record
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
`GET /api/stores` records now carry a `config` field — a store's `config.json` moved
into the record that already said what the store is — and the client applies it
directly. Installing a store no longer depends on a second repository existing and
staying reachable, and a store can be configured from the site's admin alone.

The order is registry config, then a repository's `config.json`, then the engine's
defaults. The middle one is why nothing has to move at once: a registry whose stores
have not been migrated is read exactly as before.

The window cannot supply a config. It is handed stores to show and hands one back to
install, but only as an identity: `RegistryStoreDtoMapper.toModel` drops the config and
`StoreProvisioningService` reads the record again from the registry first. A config
decides where files are written and, through `paths.subfolder`, which subtree the store
may later delete from — not a decision the renderer gets to make, for the same reason a
`GameDto` carries no paths. Tested by installing from a record carrying
`subfolder: "ATTACKER"` and `install_root: "/tmp/pwned"` and finding neither on disk.

A store that has left the registry, or a registry that cannot be re-read, still
installs: it falls back to the engine's defaults rather than refusing.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 06f3f2a3b1 The store engine moves into the client, and Python goes with it
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
Reading the catalog, choosing the release that fits this machine, unpacking it,
writing the menu entry and remembering what went where all happen in process now.
There is no interpreter to find, no child process, and no JSON-lines protocol
between the two halves — `PythonEngineProcessRunner`, the runtime locator, the two
engine mappers and the version negotiation are all gone, and with them the one
unchecked cast this codebase had (engine stdout to a typed event).

What that buys a person: on Windows and on a fresh Mac the app simply works. It
used to look for `python3`, `python` and `py -3` and draw a link to python.org
where none answered.

What lands on disk is unchanged, deliberately. `config.json` and `state.json` keep
the shell engine's snake_case shape, its `<scope>:<name>` keys and its file modes,
so a machine whose library was installed by the CLI keeps it — verified against the
Python engine on the same catalog: the same 13-title listing with zero field
differences, byte-identical payloads, identical modes and an identical Info.plist,
and a re-sync over a Python-installed home that writes nothing. Remove, prune,
prune-suppression on a named sync and the v1 state migration were each exercised.

Three things worth knowing about the new code:

  - the zip reader is ~150 lines over `node:zlib`, because Node has none and this
    application has no runtime dependencies. It restores the executable bit from
    each entry's external attributes, without which nothing installed can start,
    and it refuses zip64, unknown compression and paths that escape the
    destination rather than guessing;

  - `SUPPORTED_WARP_ENGINE_VERSIONS` names the engine versions this client is
    written against, checked against the `WarpEngine-Version` header every
    response carries. `selectCatalogDialect` switches over that list exhaustively,
    so adding a version fails the build — type checker and linter both — until
    somebody says what its catalog reads like. An absent header is read as the
    oldest version, which is what an engine before 0.4.0 is;

  - refresh and the language picker are icons at the foot of the side menu now,
    both named for a tooltip and a screen reader, the picker still a real
    `<select>` under its glyph.

The repository is free of Python as well: the Makefile, the CI check and the
release script read package.json and the forge's JSON with Node.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 8511ccbef8 WarpEngine Client: the whole catalog, and a build that can point elsewhere
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
**The app is called WarpEngine Client.** "Store" named the thing it opens rather than the
thing you run, and the store is a catalog on a site, not a window on your machine. The
window title, the bundle, the packages and the menu entry follow; the repository already
did. The store being driven is named in the side menu, so the bar stopped repeating it as
a badge — the element stays in the page, hidden, because the window check reads it.

**Every title is listed, including the ones this machine cannot install.** They arrive
from the engine with `installable: false` and a reason, and they are drawn dimmed, with an
*unsupported platform* or *no build for this machine* badge, the engine's own sentence
underneath, and nothing to press: a disabled Install would invite a click that can never
work. They get a category of their own — *Not for this machine* — and they are kept out of
the native/hosted categories and counts, because a title with no build has no mode to be
counted under. An engine older than desktop 1.2.0 is unaffected: a missing `installable`
field reads as installable, which is what those engines mean.

**A build can be pointed at another site's registry:**

    make dist STORES_API=https://games.example.org/api/stores

BuildConfiguration reads the packaged package.json, where electron-builder's
extraMetadata writes that address, so a client for somebody else's catalog needs no source
change and nothing set on the user's machine. Precedence is runtime environment, then
build, then ours — three audiences, most specific first.

Also: the scrollbars are the window's own, because the platform's light track down the
side menu of a dark window looked like a mistake.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 526c67b069 Registry-only stores, a quieter window, and a CI that builds
ci/woodpecker/manual/woodpecker Pipeline was successful
A store no longer needs a repository of its own. The engine's built-in defaults
already cover the host-to-asset mapping, the install modes, the platforms and the
behaviour; what they cannot know is identity — a slug, a name and a catalog URL — and
that is exactly what a registry record carries. So `storeRepositoryUrl` is optional: a
record with a name and a catalog is a complete store, the id falls back from the
repository name to the catalog host (`teletypegames.org` becomes `teletypegames`) to the
display name, and the client writes a three-section config. Given a repository it still
reads it, and that file stays the authority on how the store behaves; a repository
without a config.json is treated as no repository at all.

Measured end to end against a local registry serving one record with a null repository:
the engine and the core downloaded, engine 1.1.0 accepted the written config, it listed
the same ten titles the configured store does, and a hosted title synced into a sandbox
with its menu entry written.

The "Install all" button is gone, and with it the string it used. Titles are installed
one at a time from their own cards.

No footer. The window carried a bar at the bottom at all times — a toggle and a line of
absolute paths — for something most sessions never need. The log is still there, folder
buttons included, behind a quiet switch at the bottom of the side menu; it takes no room
until it is opened, and an arriving line does not open it, because the store logs on
every refresh and a window that unfolds panels by itself is worse than one that keeps
quiet.

Three faults that every automated count had passed, found by photographing the setup
screen: the store badge rendered as an empty pill with no store open; the gate's picker
showed as an empty dropdown stub, because an explicit `display` beats the browser's own
`[hidden]` rule; and the gate went up while the empty-catalog line stayed on screen
underneath it. The last was a design fault — whether the gate is up was a call on a
view rather than state, so the two could disagree. The setup screen is now a field in
the state store, and that one field decides which of the gate and the grid is drawn.
The window test's gate assertion was wrong too: it demanded a store picker, which only
appears when the registry offers more than one store, so one store — the ordinary case —
failed it.

CI builds the packages this machine cannot. `.woodpecker.yaml` runs the checks on every
push and, on a tag or by hand, builds the Linux packages in
`electronuserland/builder:22` and the Windows ones in `:22-wine`, then attaches them to
the release with scripts/ci-upload.sh. The pipeline lives here rather than in the update
server's `/build/config` extension, which serves game-platform pipelines publishing into
the site's catalog — a different product with a different target. macOS stays a local
build: Apple's toolchain and its signing exist only on a Mac.

Both build steps verify what they produced, because a half-finished Wine build leaves a
162 KB stub named like the real installer and `ls` is happy with it. The Linux step was
rehearsed locally in the same image (AppImage 128 MB, deb 100 MB); the Wine step cannot
be rehearsed on Apple Silicon, where 16 KB host pages break Wine's 4 KB assumption, so
the runner is where it is proven. The size check was tested against both outcomes.

mr.zeroandClaude Opus 5 3d63c8a0b0 TypeScript, in layers, with a strict linter
The client was one main.js, one preload.js, three files in lib/ and one renderer
script. It is now a typed application whose imports point inward: domain (models,
ports, errors) knows nothing about Electron, Node or Python; application orchestrates
it through those ports; infrastructure holds the adapters — the Python CLI, HTTP, the
filesystem, Electron itself — and main, preload and renderer sit on top as hosts.

STRUCTURE.md is the map, and the deliverable as much as the code is: every layer, every
pattern in use (ports and adapters, repository vs gateway, service, DTO and mapper,
composition root, controller and router, single flight, observer streams, state store
with unidirectional flow, passive view, coded error hierarchy, frozen constant tables,
untrusted-data readers) and the naming rules — files, classes, and a verb vocabulary
for methods where find/require/read/list/apply/render/handle each state a contract.

Two properties fell out of the move, and they are why it was worth doing:

  - The catalog can be driven with no window and no Electron at all. The smoke test
    assembles the same services against the same ports in a plain Node process; it used
    to be a script that reimplemented the bridge.
  - The window never receives a filesystem path. A title crosses the bridge without
    one, and launching is asked for by name, resolved in the main process from the
    store's own state. Verified with a fake launcher: an unknown name answers false, a
    native title resolves to its menu entry, a hosted one to its catalog URL.

Types are mandatory, including where inference would manage: explicit return,
parameter and property types, strict plus noUncheckedIndexedAccess,
exactOptionalPropertyTypes, noImplicitOverride and noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature,
typescript-eslint strictTypeChecked and stylisticTypeChecked, exhaustive switches, no
any, no non-null assertions, and no casts on foreign data — engine stdout and the
registry go through readers that turn unknown into typed values. naming-convention
enforces the patterns rather than trusting them.

Two rule conflicts had to be decided rather than papered over. typedef and
no-inferrable-types disagree about `fallback: string = ''`: the annotation wins, since a
signature states its types. erasableSyntaxOnly is off, because it forbids constructor
parameter properties, which are how dependencies are declared here.

The preload and the renderer are bundled by esbuild into one file each: a sandboxed
preload may not require its own modules, and a module script over file:// is blocked by
the page's own origin rules. tsc compiles the rest. The package ships build/** and
package.json — 111 entries, no sources, no toolchain.

New targets: build, typecheck, lint, lint-fix, and check — typecheck, lint, then both
test suites, cheapest failure first. Every script that runs the app builds first, so a
stale bundle cannot be tested.

Nothing about the window changed: same side menu, same categories, same switcher, same
two languages. make check is clean, both test suites pass with one store and with two,
the packaged 1.3.0 bundle drives the real store, and the window was photographed before
and after — the two are the same picture.
