Version bump for the updater live-proof cycle (NOT a release: no tag). Carries the signed-asset CI path so the 1.99.1-rc1 pre-release publishes AniTrack-linux-amd64 plus sidecars for the beta-channel end-to-end test.
The release binary dynamically links libwebkitgtk-6.0, which is not preinstalled on most distros and is not shipped in the tarball, so installs failed at first launch with a missing-.so error. Add a step-0 dependency stage to install_linux.sh that maps Arch/Debian-Ubuntu/Fedora/OpenMandriva/Void to their verified runtime package names (ID plus ID_LIKE, so derivatives resolve), requires root/sudo, and stays idempotent. musl systems (Alpine, Void-musl) get a warning plus hard-abort: the glibc-linked binary cannot run there and no package fixes that. Unknown distros get the package table and exit 1. Existing desktop/icons/binary steps untouched. Verified with an 11-case stub harness (all families route correctly; sudo/no-sudo/missing-manager/musl/unknown all behave).
make release only bumped wails.json, leaving build/config.yml info.version stale (it sat at 1.6.8 while wails.json moved to 1.99.0). Add a companion python one-liner that rewrites only the indented info.version line - the regex cannot match the top-level schema version 3 - and stage both files into the same bump commit. Marked TEMP until wails.json (v2 leftover) is retired. The companion NOTE in build/config.yml is updated to describe the automation and warn off the schema line. Verified with make -n dry-run and a scratch-copy regex proof (schema line byte-identical, single-line diff).
Fixes the wails3 dev boot failure and removes remaining v2-isms so the tree matches a stock v3 project.
- frontend/package.json: add missing build:dev script (vite build --minify false --mode development). The dev taskflow runs npm run build:dev, which v2-era package.json never had - this was the wails3 dev boot failure.
- frontend/vite.config.ts: add the @wailsio/runtime vite plugin (typed custom events, as in every v3 template) and the server host/port/strictPort block (5173, matching the dev task).
- Remove stale v2 build dirs build/darwin + build/windows (v2 wails scaffolding; v3 generates its own via build-assets if ever needed).
- Delete untracked frontend/package.json.md5 (v2 change-detection artifact; v3 Taskfile uses content-hash sources) and drop its gitignore rule.
- go.mod: delete the leftover commented-out v2 replace directive.
- README.md: dev/build docs updated to make dev / make build (wails3), dropping the v2 :34115 browser-server paragraph; install link points at v3 docs.
Verified: production vite build green with the plugin, and wails3 dev boots end-to-end (bindings regen, build:dev, vite on :5173, asset server connected, AniTrack 1.6.8 window mapped).
Desktop-Linux-only scaffolding adapted from the stock v3 svelte template; no mobile taskfiles added yet.
- Taskfile.yml (root): APP_NAME AniTrack, BIN_DIR build/bin (keeps the v2 output path so release packaging is untouched), includes common+linux only, build/run/dev tasks.
- build/Taskfile.yml: stock common tasks (frontend build, bindings regen, go mod tidy).
- build/linux/Taskfile.yml: stock, minus the common:generate:icons dep (it targets macOS/Windows icons from a build/appicon.png this project does not have; icons ship via build/icon + the release tarball). Generated build/linux/AniTrack.desktop committed (stable output).
- build/config.yml: AniTrack metadata, version 1.6.8. NOTE: ./release only bumps wails.json productVersion, not this file - bump both on release until the script learns about it.
- wails.json: v3 frontend block (dir/install/build/dev/devServerUrl :5173); author + info.productVersion kept for the in-app title and the release version guard.
- Makefile: wails dev/build -> wails3 dev -port 5173 / wails3 build. The v2 webkit2_41 tag is a v2-ism v3 ignores; v3 defaults to GTK4/WebKitGTK 6.0 (same 2.52.x engine generation), so no tags.
- .gitignore: task cache dir .task/ ignored.
- Fix tilde expansion: replace quoted '~' paths with $HOME so they
actually resolve to the user's home directory instead of being
treated literally
- Add existence checks before copying files so the script is
idempotent and skips already-installed resources
- Add progress/status echo messages for each installation step
so the user can see what is being done
