Aphrody displays the native library capabilities in aphrody.config.json. Bun builds the frontend and backend. The pinned Bun submodule supplies the Tauri v3 runtime, CEF, JavaScript SDK and native plugins.

From the repository root:

bun install --frozen-lockfile
bun run build
bun run dev
bun run desktop:dev
bun run desktop:build

dev serves the local Web interface. desktop:dev supervises the native desktop without retaining the Cargo build mutex. desktop:build serializes the native build, passes --locked, and compiles the Bun sidecar.

The only public action is Inspect CLI. Its request accepts one catalog identifier and executes the configured headless CLI with fixed --help arguments and a 30-second deadline. No editor GUI is launched. Libraries without a headless CLI remain unavailable for inspection. The interface shows completion and exit status; raw CLI output is not rendered.

The backend checks the request origin and an ephemeral session. Tauri grants only core:default and aphrody:default to the main window. Workspace configuration owns executable selection and native orchestration.

Installed desktops find the repository from their working directory or APHRODY_ROOT. External Bun selection uses the workspace resolver and APHRODY_BUN_BINARY. No workstation path is embedded in the bundle.

JavaScript and Rust dependencies refer to the existing pinned SDK source. The public npm package @aphrody/tauri@1.4.4 was unavailable when this workspace was created. The pinned fork contains Tauri v3 alpha.4, versioned as 1.4.4, with CEF 152.3.0 and a Rust 1.97 plugin baseline.

JavaScript bundling does not qualify Cargo builds, native windows, headless library execution or installers. Native dependencies are recorded in src-tauri/Cargo.lock. CEF Windows currently lacks the Chromium sandbox; CEF Linux requires glibc and X11/XWayland.
