`make sandbox`, `make dev`, `make build-dev` and `make build-prod` all died with "/bin/sh: wails3: command not found". `wails3 dev` and `wails3 task` are supervisors: they run the scaffold's Taskfile tree, which invokes `wails3` by bare name in 54 places across four files. The CLI is a vendored Go tool by design (plan 009, D3 — a global install would be this build's first undeclared dependency), so that name did not exist. scripts/toolbin/wails3 execs `go tool wails3`, and the Makefile prepends that directory only for the targets that start a supervisor. Rewriting 54 scaffold call sites would be churn to redo on every scaffold refresh; nothing global is installed either way. The shim does not cd. The first version did, to be sure `go tool` found the module — it does not need to — and that silently discarded the `dir:` a task had set, so generate:icons failed with "open appicon.png: no such file or directory" against a file that was there. Three things the build path needed once it got that far: - `frontend/package.json` gains `build:dev`, which build:frontend runs under DEV=true and which did not exist. - Vite binds 127.0.0.1. It defaulted to `localhost`, which resolves to `[::1]` only here, while wails3 dev's asset proxy dials IPv4 — so the first request for the dev server was refused and the first paint raced a retry. Zero proxy errors after. - The icons and the .desktop file are generated on every build. icons.icns/icon.ico are deterministic from our appicon.png (verified by regenerating), so the regenerated pair is committed and the churn ends; .task/ and the .desktop file are ignored. Also corrects a claim: build-prod strips and trims but does **not** UPX-compress — that was v2's `-upx` flag. Phase 1 recorded UPX as still working, but neither build target had been run.

YellowJacket Frontend
This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.
Dependencies
There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development
Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails.
You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.
If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules.
Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server.
For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.
Code
Web Components
Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together.
Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.
Typescript
To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.
Important Files and Directories
NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.
