Sravan 899770ed02 feat: Windows download link + self-served update feed + install tracking
Downloads/updates:
- config: DOWNLOADS_DIR (override to a mounted volume in prod).
- static.js: serves /downloads/* (installer, latest.yml, .blockmap) with range support for
  resumable + differential auto-updates; /download/windows redirects to the current .exe
  (stable link). Landing page gets a "Download the Windows desktop app" button (hidden in-app).

Install tracking (who installed the app):
- db app_installs + repos.appInstalls (upsert by install_id, fills in the user on sign-in).
- POST /api/v1/telemetry/install (records install + user once authenticated);
  GET /api/v1/admin/installs (admin: list installs with user/version/os/last-seen).
- desktop main.js: stable per-install id in userData, exposed via preload
  (bizConnectNative.installId/version/os); home.html reportInstall() posts it after login.
- e2e: +2 checks (telemetry recorded, admin sees it). 119/119. build batch20.

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.
