Sravan 0b58d33117 fix(desktop): drop -w — SnoreToast waits by default; -w made it fail (exit -1)
Testing showed SnoreToast blocks/waits for the toast interaction when given -pipeName; the
-w flag actually fails on this build (exit -1) which forced the reply-less fallback. Without
-w it waits, captures the typed reply, and writes it to our pipe.

Biz Connect — Desktop client

Electron shell that loads the live Connect web UI and adds native screen capture. See the overall plan in ../CLIENTS.md.

Run (dev)

npm install
SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8090 npm start     # default is https://remote.bizgaze.com

Build installers

npm run dist        # electron-builder → Win NSIS / Mac dmg / Linux AppImage

Signed, trusted installers need certificates:

  • Windows: an EV (or OV) code-signing certificate.
  • macOS: Apple Developer ID cert + notarization (CSC_LINK, APPLE_ID, APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD).

Notes

  • The window loads ${SERVER_URL}/home; relative /api and /ws URLs work because the origin is the server itself — no web-code changes.
  • setDisplayMediaRequestHandler in main.js is what makes "Share Screen" work in Electron; it currently defaults to the primary display. Swap in a source-picker for production.
  • The session is persisted (persist:bizconnect) so login survives restarts.
  • window.__NATIVE__ === 'desktop' is exposed for the web UI to feature-detect.
