The app closes to tray, so it kept running on the old version and only checked on a fresh launch.
Now: (1) check for updates on EVERY window show (X-to-tray then reopen, taskbar, relaunch via
second-instance) via win.on('show'), throttled 1/10min; (2) explicit autoInstallOnAppQuit=true so
a downloaded update installs on the next real quit / PC restart even if the user never clicks
"Restart now"; (3) native notification when an update finishes downloading while hidden in the
tray. The existing 6-hour background timer is unchanged and still runs regardless of window state.
Also carries the 0.1.18 downloads-to-Downloads-folder change.

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 = local testing)
npm install
npm start # dev auto-targets http://localhost:8090 (your local server)
SERVER_URL=https://remote.bizgaze.com npm start # …or point dev at production to compare
npm start IS the local desktop test — no separate "local" installer needed. In dev (unpackaged)
the shell defaults to the local server; a PACKAGED installer defaults to production. SERVER_URL
overrides either. (Bash/Git-Bash syntax above; in PowerShell: $env:SERVER_URL='…'; npm start.)
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/apiand/wsURLs work because the origin is the server itself — no web-code changes. setDisplayMediaRequestHandlerinmain.jsis 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.
