 Early Experimental Release 
 Builds are Forthcoming
## Development (macOS / Linux)
With Node.js 20+, npm, Rust, and the Tauri 2 CLI installed, run:
 [code] 
This starts the frontend and desktop app together. It installs frontend
dependencies when missing, then binds the first available loopback port starting
at **5183** before launching Tauri with that exact URL. Existing processes are
left running. To start the port search elsewhere:
 [code] 
JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS edits reload through Vite, including shared
frontend libraries. Rust edits in the app or its workspace dependencies trigger
a rebuild and desktop app restart; in-memory app state resets on a Rust restart.
The Rust backend uses native Tauri IPC, so there is no second backend HTTP port
to allocate. HTTP and the HMR WebSocket share the selected frontend port.
Press **Ctrl-C** to stop the frontend, Rust watcher, and app. Use this combined
launcher instead of running the two `script/artcraftx/unix_*_dev.sh` scripts.
The launcher resolves paths relative to itself and can be called from any directory.
