LLeMbas Desktop: the server in a window, the CLI's agent on this computer
ci / check (push) Failing after 24s

Tauri 2, no Node. A first-run page chooses the server; then the window is
the server's web UI, whose pages get no IPC. The bundled LLeMbas CLI
(fetched and signature-checked by scripts/fetch-cli.sh) links the computer
with 'lembas login --json' and runs as 'lembas service' while the app runs.
A tray menu starts and stops it. Linux packages from GitHub Actions on a tag.

# LLeMbas Desktop
Your [LLeMbas](https://llembas.eu) server in a window of its own, with the agent on this computer.
- **The whole web UI**: chats, agent chats, the library, reports, settings. Same account, models,
permissions and credits as in the browser; the app is a front end to the server you already run.
- **The agent, built in.** LLeMbas Desktop carries the [LLeMbas CLI](https://github.com/LLeMbas/LLeMbas-CLI)
and runs it in the background as this computer's device, so agent chats started on the server
can work in your projects here, without a terminal.
- **In the tray**: close the window and the agent keeps running; the tray menu starts and stops it,
links the computer, and changes the server.
> **Alpha.** Linux first (`.deb` and AppImage, x86-64). Windows and macOS later.
## Install
Download the `.deb` or the AppImage from the
[latest release](https://github.com/LLeMbas/LLeMbas-Desktop/releases/latest). Check it against
`SHA256SUMS` in the same release.
```sh
sudo apt install ./LLeMbas_*_amd64.deb # Debian, Ubuntu
chmod +x LLeMbas_*.AppImage && ./LLeMbas_*.AppImage
```
On GNOME the tray needs the *AppIndicator* extension; without it, closing the window hides the
app, and starting it again brings the window back.
## Use
1. Start LLeMbas and enter your server's address. Sign in there as you would in a browser.
2. From the tray, **Link this computer**. The approval page opens in the window; approve it.
3. The agent starts. In the server's new-chat screen, choose this computer for an agent chat.
The agent is the LLeMbas CLI's `lembas service`, using the CLI's own configuration
(`~/.config/lembas`). If you also installed the CLI and run `lembas service` yourself, the app sees
it and does not start a second one: they are the same device.
## Build
Needs Rust (stable) and, on Linux, WebKitGTK 4.1 and an AppIndicator library:
```sh
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev libxdo-dev
scripts/fetch-cli.sh # the bundled CLI, checked against its release signature
cargo install tauri-cli --version "^2" --locked
cargo tauri dev # or: cargo tauri build
```
There is no Node and no bundler: the app's one local page is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript in
`ui/`. Everything else on screen is the server's own web UI. The version of the CLI it carries is
in `lembas-cli.version`.
